Chapter 11. Studying German
Gentlemen, {mein Herrin}
I have wanted to be able to make bread for a long time.
Pizza dough has been a speciality of mine for 35 years.
I always thought 'French bread', or 'Italian bread' was what I wanted to make,
but when I 'bought' a loaf of French or Italian bread,
it was hard as a rock in two days and had to be fed to the horses.
Which is one reason I have not gotten started in the art of bread making.
Till now.
From making pizza dough for so long,
I know from experiance the longer the dough rises
the more 'winey-yeasty' 'ie. better' it tastes,
the more 'developed' and the more complex the flavor of the dough becomes.
I am a homebrewer of 16 years
and consider 'Mein Acht Pfund Hammerbier' about my favorite beer-ale.
Bread is a process of yeast working on flour,
as Ale is a process of yeast working on Malted barley.
I finally found a recipe for bread which 'fits the bill'.
It isn't stale after a couple of days.
And is an interesting, tasty and profoundly useful bread.
deutsch Sauerteigbrot,
or German sourdough bread.
Half wheat flour and half Rye.
The crust is so heavy it doesn't let any air inside the bread to dry it out.
I made some Saturday and this is Wensday.
Four days old and I am just getting into the second of three loaves.
It is the best bread I could have hoped for.
The crust is the best part.
But for a sandwich the crust is real hard and difficult to bite into.
For dinner bread I trim the crust and butter the pieces,
cook the bread in a pan with a little salt which acts like little ball bearings
and lets the bread roll around and not stick.
Till the bread is a little toasty on one or both sides.
Serve the bread {or brot} on a plate,
and the bread alone is good enough for a meal.
It really is.
The next day too!
The crust gets eaten while I am working in the kitchen.
It would be better if a little olive oil was on it,
but I have never bothered.
One could make 'deutsch Sauertieigbrot' once a week and eat it all week.
I just keep it in a plastic bag {not closed}
on the counter, unrefrigerated.
deutsch Sauerteigbrot
Sourdough starter...
1 1/2 oz yeast
1 qt warm water
2 tablesthingys white sugar
4 cups all purpose flour
The Bread...
8 cups Rye flour4 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespons salt
1 teasthingy sugar
2 cups warm water
Make starter and let stand 24 hours
stir and cover and let stand 24 hours more
Make dough and kneed 15-20 minutes
let rise till doubled {1-2 hours}
afert dough has risen again,
kneed 5 minutes
Make 2-3 loaves and let rise another hour
425 degrees for 45 minutes or untill browned to suit
cool before cutting.
Mein Freund from Germany said:
"German bread, like German beer,
is an art form."
I say:
"Hell, with meat and vegetables"
"I'll just have another piece of Sourdough bread
and another ale".

This is an email I sent to my friend Donar who is out in California working so he can move back down to Argentina. He says Argentina is cheap.
This is the first email which he answered all excitedly, and said that he could understand the entire message. This is my first email which actually made sense, 'Just minor corrections needed'.
It makes me feel good to have actually composed an email and not hear:
Jack, spelling, spelling, spelling!
Jack, gender, gender, gender!
The message is about knifemaking.
"I was in my shop today".
is how it begins.

Donars reply...
We heat "auf" never "zu". : Auf 400 Grad heizen.
I hope this helps a bit. Once you get spelling down. You will learn that spelling changes with gramatical variation. Then comes gramatical custom. ie phrazology; use of prepositions etc.

Hi Ranger,
I am glad you are still persuing your German. But we still have many basic mistakes in form, tense & spelling.
Your letter:
Herr Donar,
herliche grüße, Jch war in mein Geschäft heute.
mein Messern, mit mehr werk, alles fertigen 2009!
52 messern fertigen!
Jch Brau mein Beir eine Tag.

Spelling:
Herlichen Grüße
Jch war in meinem Geschäft heute.
plural: Meine Messern. Singular: Mein Messer.
mehr Arbeit. not: "Werk".
Verb order:
Alles wird im 2009 fertig.
The verbs:
Jch braue, er braut, sie brauen, Sie braut, Jhr braut. Thus:
Jch braue mein Bier. "Tag" is masculine, thus:
Ein Tag. Did you mean I brew mein bier every day?
Jch braue mein Bier jeden Tag. Oder: Jch braue mein Bier bei Tag.
You need a language teacher who can explain the gramatical technicalities. Over the internet is not the best way.
Mein Freund Donar
Friends,
As I am real tired from Yesterdays 'sending out'
10 lawyer letters.
I have decided to do nothing of the kind today,
but rather sand knives and work on my German.
{And drink a few ales.}
Mein Freund Donar is in California working before he returns to Argentina, he has been helping with my 'German study'.
I hope this isn't boring, but I will just post emails
we sent each other, the last 6 months or so.
Hi Jack,
One million sounds good. I hope you get that revenge. I am allready tired of this over-policed culture here. I am looking into Guatamala now. I have met dozens of types from that country. It lies nearbye and should be pretty cheap on the rent. The Caribean should be interesting too.
Jack, please practice your spelling: "Freund" has no Umlaut.
"Bier" is a noun and is always capitalized. I will send you more basic German text to practice with.
It puzzles a bit why you want to learn German.
It is unbelieveably expensive even to visit any country where German is spoken.
...ß ä ö ü ß Ä Ö Ü
Donar,
I speak fluent 'Mexican',
{according to my therapist 'from Spain' Luis Castenada, he's a doctor now}
not Spanish, Mexican.
With the accent of the geographical center of Mexico,
San Luis Potosi.
"Grammer, pronounciation,
perfect - perfect"
In the hospital I met a young medical student
who turned out to be my second cousin,
and was kidding around telling them how
they should just:
" bring your lights and guns
and just show up!"
"Anytime, 24 hours a day,
this January,
and we will 'git ignert' drinking my homebrew
and go coon hunting!"
Then went into a long description of 'mein Hammerbier',
in German, of course, to impress them,
the gastro-intestinal doctor told the medical student
{my second cousin}
"He speaks Chineese too."
In the elevator,
the only elevator with a camera,
was correcting a Chineese doctors chineese,
and he was right!
{He had left the 'pitches' out}
I speak Palestinian and Syrian Arabic,
German? Why not!
I am 25% German blood.
I don't intend to go to Germany.
And you are the only Germanic speaking person I know except for students.
German sounds good to me.
I am not Mexican, Arabic, or Chineese,
and I learned those languages.
I am 25 % German however.
Bach, Mozart and Beethoven were German,
and I studied Music for 25 years.
So that is why I am interested in German.
I live alone but for Sandymay
and she doesn't care what language I speak.
I don't roof anymore so Mexican is not used that much.
Dern I'm smart!
Ain't I?
Good luck Donar
It is unbelieveably expensive even to visit any country where German is spoken.
...ß ä ö ß Ä Ö Ü
Herr Donar,
I wonder why, Germany is so expensive?
I have read the 'tillable land, ie. good farm land,
is 25%-30% and Germany historically imported almost everything.
Is their not enough good farm land? Too many people? What?
An interesting question, it is.
Donar, I, have studied agriculture since high school,
from the standpoint of growing food for myself, to eat.
'Not for sale',
and that is the point.
'Subsistance farming', 'sounds' of 'poverty'.
But if a man had 'land', to grow a big garden on.
To raise poultry, eggs, cut firewood and basically live on.
If he could get the property taxes down, and just stay home,
less travel = less gas = less money,
Doing productive things at home 'on the farm',
he could achieve the ideal lifestyle.
His interests would revolve around his hounds,
hunting, the garden, soil, the woods,
books, writing, music and cooking,
things and activities which do not cost 'money',
they don't really earn money either,
but rather the 'natural interests' and 'daily activities'
produce what one uses, ie. 'subsistance'.
Imagine, working at some 'job' all day.
{A subsistance 'job'}
{ thats worse}
It costs money to get there, to eat lunch.
Then you are paid with... you guessed it... money,
minus taxes!
You spend your days working on someone else's 'stuff',
not your own.
The money you have left, after expenses,
is traded to others for everything you use in your life.
Every transaction is taxed.
Think of the store where you 'get your beer' for example.
Just kidding, but really, think of the store.
Electric bills, the building itself, employees must make money.
The delivery truck which brings the beer from the beer factory.
Gas for it, tires, the driver. How much does the electric bill at the beer factory cost!!!
Think of all the 'layers' of people,
expenses, profit, taxes, in every object everybody uses, everywhere and it is crazy. A beer costs a dollar!
One beer!
Not even a very good one at that.
The answer... just brew your own.
Vegetables? Grow them.
Meat? Raise the window and shoot a chicken, or a squirrel.
Firewood? just cut some.
Knives {for sale} ? Make them.
Tan your own fur, & clean your own skulls.
Cut your own hair and brew your own beer.
Sorry to run on so,
but to live,
without needing that dxxx money all the time,
is achieved not by working harder at some job 'making money',
but by producing what you would other wise buy with the dxxx money, if in fact you had some.
Yes, it is true Jack,
Europe is expensive. Germany always was overpopulated. The German lands always were the most densly populated part of Europe. The most industry, the least room for expansion. More than ever now, Germany is short on space, having been forced to accept several million refugees from Eastern Europe and a host of non-European nations. There is no wild nature left in Central Europe. It is all under strict cultivation, even the forests have had to be re-planted. Noisy highways cut through idilic mountains & meadows.
Not a pretty picture by any means.
This is a post I made in German to Jürgen,
A German knifemaker or Messermaker.

Uhland is interesting, it makes me want to know more about him, when he wrote and his background, thanks.
I can remember the names of poets that 'touch my heart',
and do further research. But an aside...
On my refrigerator with magnetic letters,
is this sentence. It has been there for years.
"Lazy languid cool garden wind most purple moon
yet what delirious storm recalled when the red ship of blood
manned these waters."

Donar, to Jack
Der dumme Wolf:
Einmal war ein Wolf sehr hungrig und machte sich auf den Weg durch die Ebene, um ein Tier finden zu können. Er ging, ging, erreichte eine Wiese. Dort war nur eine Mähre. Der Wolf ging zu ihr und knurrte:
“ Pferd, ich fresse dich auf. “
“ Ich bin sehr mager, Wolf, was kannst du von mir essen? “
“ Mager , nicht mager, ich fresse dich auf, denn ich bin sehr hungrig!”
“ Es scheint, dass du mich frisst “ , sagte das Pferd, “ aber ich will dir vorher etwas sagen. Dein Vater machte nicht so. “
“ Und wie machte mein Vater?” blinzelte der Wolf mit einem Augen .
“ Dein Vater, bevor er ein Pferd zu fressen begann, zog er ihm zuerst die Hufeisen mit den Hinterbeinen mit den Zähnen heraus. Das ist seit alter Zeit so, und dein Vater beachtete sehr die Bräuche.”
“ Wenn mein Vater so gemacht hat, mache ich auch so! “
Er ging hinter das Pferd, blieb hinter ihm stehen und bleckte Zähne, um die Hufeisen herauszuziehen. Aber das Pferd erwartete das- schlug ihn ein Paar mal aus und krachte ihn in der Schnauze.

The strength of the Messernmachers:
In order a measurer to finished, needs the Messermacher different devices:
For example a Schleifer, a drill and different impact devices.
Softly and Hartmetale are heated with high temperatures.
The refinement become out polished then oh by hand with sandpapers, (sandpapiere), different of degree.
In the end the grasp comes aufgeklemmpt and polliert.
Such handmade measurers are to be regarded a joy and possessed! How does one come on idea measurers themselves to manufacture by hand?
In addition one needs much time and strength for being silent completely from the many tools and devices.
But such handicraft makes joy fine and and efficiently handmade measurers is always a reliable and allied friend.
What mean do you Jack?
After you learn more German, you can read up on ancient Nordic methods of Knife-Making. Here are 2 links:

Yes, it is true Jack,
Europe is expensive. Germany always was overpopulated. The German lands always were the most densly populated part of Europe. The most industry, the least room for expansion. More than ever now, Germany is short on space, having been forced to accept several million refugees from Eastern Europe and a host of non-European nations. There is no wild nature left in Central Europe. It is all under strict cultivation, even the forests have had to be re-planted. Noisy highways cut through idilic mountains & meadows.
Not a pretty picture by any means.
This is a post I made in German to Jürgen,

Hi Jack,
One million sounds good. I hope you get that revenge.
I am allready tired of this over-policed culture here.
I am looking into Guatamala now.
I have met dozens of types from that country.
It lies nearbye and should be pretty cheap on the rent.
The Caribean should be interesting too.
Jack, please practice your spelling:
"Freund" has no Umlaut.
"Bier" is a noun and is always capitalized.
I will send you more basic German text to practice with.
Uhland is interesting, it makes me want to know more about him, when he wrote and his background, thanks.
I can remember the names of poets that 'touch my heart',
and do further research. But an aside...
On my refrigerator with magnetic letters,
is this sentence. It has been there for years.
"Lazy languid cool garden wind most purple moon
yet what delirious storm recalled when the red ship of blood
manned these waters."
Knife
Donar, to Jack
Der dumme Wolf:
Einmal war ein Wolf sehr hungrig und machte sich auf den Weg durch die Ebene, um ein Tier finden zu können. Er ging, ging, erreichte eine Wiese. Dort war nur eine Mähre. Der Wolf ging zu ihr und knurrte:
“ Pferd, ich fresse dich auf. “
“ Ich bin sehr mager, Wolf, was kannst du von mir essen? “
“ Mager , nicht mager, ich fresse dich auf, denn ich bin sehr hungrig!”
“ Es scheint, dass du mich frisst “ , sagte das Pferd, “ aber ich will dir vorher etwas sagen. Dein Vater machte nicht so. “
“ Und wie machte mein Vater?” blinzelte der Wolf mit einem Augen .
“ Dein Vater, bevor er ein Pferd zu fressen begann, zog er ihm zuerst die Hufeisen mit den Hinterbeinen mit den Zähnen heraus. Das ist seit alter Zeit so, und dein Vater beachtete sehr die Bräuche.”
“ Wenn mein Vater so gemacht hat, mache ich auch so! “
Er ging hinter das Pferd, blieb hinter ihm stehen und bleckte Zähne, um die Hufeisen herauszuziehen. Aber das Pferd erwartete das- schlug ihn ein Paar mal aus und krachte ihn in der Schnauze.

Very well!
Now let me only some corrections make:
Better yet:
These took all day long to sharpen.
Jch muste many scratches, this work took all day long.

New email from Donar
The strength of the Messernmachers:
In order a measurer to finished, needs the Messermacher different devices:
For example a Schleifer, a drill and different impact devices.
Softly and Hartmetale are heated with high temperatures.
The refinement become out polished then oh by hand with sandpapers, (sandpapiere), different of degree.
In the end the grasp comes aufgeklemmpt and polliert.
Such handmade measurers are to be regarded a joy and possessed! How does one come on idea measurers themselves to manufacture by hand?
In addition one needs much time and strength for being silent completely from the many tools and devices.
But such handicraft makes joy fine and and efficiently handmade measurers is always a reliable and allied friend.
What mean do you Jack?
After you learn more German, you can read up on ancient Nordic methods of Knife-Making. Here are 2 links:
messer-werkzeuge.de
nordisches-handwerk.de
You might find them fun & helpful in learning German.
Studying German
Gentlemen,
I have wanted to be able to make bread for a long time.
Pizza dough has been a speciality of mine for 35 years.
I always thought 'French bread', or 'Italian bread' was what I wanted to make,
but when I 'bought' a loaf of French or Italian bread,
it was hard as a rock in two days and had to be fed to the horses.
Which is one reason I have not gotten started in the art of bread making.
Till now.
From making pizza dough for so long,
I know from experiance the longer the dough rises
the more 'winey-yeasty' 'ie. better' it tastes,
the more 'developed' and the more complex the flavor of the dough becomes.
I am a homebrewer of 16 years
and consider 'Mein Acht Pfund Hammerbier' about my favorite beer-ale.
Bread is a process of yeast working on flour,
as Ale is a process of yeast working on Malted barley.
I finally found a recipe for bread which 'fits the bill'.
It isn't stale after a couple of days.
And is an interesting, tasty and profoundly useful bread.
deutsch Sauerteigbrot,
or German sourdough bread.
Half wheat flour and half Rye.
The crust is so heavy it doesn't let any air inside the bread to dry it out.
I made some Saturday and this is Wensday.
Four days old and I am just getting into the second of three loaves.
It is the best bread I could have hoped for.
The crust is the best part.
But for a sandwich the crust is real hard and difficult to bite into.
For dinner bread I trim the crust and butter the pieces,
cook the bread in a pan with a little salt which acts like little ball bearings
and lets the bread roll around and not stick.
Till the bread is a little toasty on one or both sides.
Serve the bread {or brot} on a plate,
and the bread alone is good enough for a meal.
It really is.
The next day too!
The crust gets eaten while I am working in the kitchen.
It would be better if a little olive oil was on it,
but I have never bothered.
One could make 'deutsch Sauertieigbrot' once a week and eat it all week.
I just keep it in a plastic bag {not closed}
on the counter, unrefrigerated.
deutsch Sauerteigbrot
Sourdough starter...
1 1/2 oz yeast
1 qt warm water
2 tablesthingys white sugar
4 cups all purpose flour
The Bread...
8 cups Rye flour4 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespons salt
1 teasthingy sugar
2 cups warm water
Make starter and let stand 24 hours
stir and cover and let stand 24 hours more
Make dough and kneed 15-20 minutes
let rise till doubled {1-2 hours}
afert dough has risen again,
kneed 5 minutes
Make 2-3 loaves and let rise another hour
425 degrees for 45 minutes or untill browned to suit
cool before cutting.
Mein Freund from Germany said:
"German bread, like German beer,
is an art form."
I say:
"Hell, with meat and vegetables"
"I'll just have another piece of Sourdough bread
and another ale".

This is an email I sent to my friend Donar who is out in California working so he can move back down to Argentina. He says Argentina is cheap.
This is the first email which he answered all excitedly, and said that he could understand the entire message. This is my first email which actually made sense, 'Just minor corrections needed'.
It makes me feel good to have actually composed an email and not hear:
Jack, spelling, spelling, spelling!

The message is about knifemaking.

Donars reply...
We heat "auf" never "zu". : Auf 400 Grad heizen.
I hope this helps a bit. Once you get spelling down. You will learn that spelling changes with gramatical variation. Then comes gramatical custom. ie phrazology; use of prepositions etc.

Hi Ranger,
I am glad you are still persuing your German. But we still have many basic mistakes in form, tense & spelling.
Your letter:
Herr Donar,
herliche grüße, Jch war in mein Geschäft heute.
mein Messern, mit mehr werk, alles fertigen 2009!
52 messern fertigen!
Jch Brau mein Beir eine Tag.
Schliefen der Blatt am nächsten Tag.
das werk ist schneller und einfacher.
Spelling:
Herlichen Grüße
Jch war in meinem Geschäft heute.
plural: Meine Messern. Singular: Mein Messer.
mehr Arbeit. not: "Werk".
Verb order:
Alles wird im 2009 fertig.
The verbs:
Jch braue, er braut, sie brauen, Sie braut, Jhr braut. Thus:
Jch braue mein Bier. "Tag" is masculine, thus:
Ein Tag. Did you mean I brew mein bier every day?
Jch braue mein Bier jeden Tag. Oder: Jch braue mein Bier bei Tag.
You need a language teacher who can explain the gramatical technicalities. Over the internet is not the best way.
Mein Freund Donar
Friends,
As I am real tired from Yesterdays 'sending out'
10 lawyer letters.
I have decided to do nothing of the kind today,
but rather sand knives and work on my German.
{And drink a few ales.}
Mein Freund Donar is in California working before he returns to Argentina, he has been helping with my 'German study'.
I hope this isn't boring, but I will just post emails
we sent each other, the last 6 months or so.
Hi Jack,

Jack, please practice your spelling: "Freund" has no Umlaut.
"Bier" is a noun and is always capitalized. I will send you more basic German text to practice with.
It puzzles a bit why you want to learn German.
It is unbelieveably expensive even to visit any country where German is spoken.
...ß ä ö ü ß Ä Ö Ü
Donar,
I speak fluent 'Mexican',
{according to my therapist 'from Spain' Luis Castenada, he's a doctor now}
not Spanish, Mexican.
With the accent of the geographical center of Mexico,
San Luis Potosi.
"Grammer, pronounciation,
perfect - perfect"
In the hospital I met a young medical student
who turned out to be my second cousin,
and was kidding around telling them how
they should just:
" bring your lights and guns
and just show up!"
"Anytime, 24 hours a day,
this January,
and we will 'git ignert' drinking my homebrew
and go coon hunting!"
Then went into a long description of 'mein Hammerbier',
in German, of course, to impress them,
the gastro-intestinal doctor told the medical student
{my second cousin}
"He speaks Chineese too."
In the elevator,
the only elevator with a camera,
was correcting a Chineese doctors chineese,
and he was right!
{He had left the 'pitches' out}
I speak Palestinian and Syrian Arabic,
German? Why not!
I am 25% German blood.
I don't intend to go to Germany.
And you are the only Germanic speaking person I know except for students.
German sounds good to me.
I am not Mexican, Arabic, or Chineese,
and I learned those languages.
I am 25 % German however.
Bach, Mozart and Beethoven were German,
and I studied Music for 25 years.
So that is why I am interested in German.
I live alone but for Sandymay
and she doesn't care what language I speak.
I don't roof anymore so Mexican is not used that much.
Dern I'm smart!
Ain't I?
Good luck Donar
It is unbelieveably expensive even to visit any country where German is spoken.
...ß ä ö ß Ä Ö Ü
Herr Donar,
I wonder why, Germany is so expensive?
I have read the 'tillable land, ie. good farm land,
is 25%-30% and Germany historically imported almost everything.
Is their not enough good farm land? Too many people? What?
An interesting question, it is.
Donar, I, have studied agriculture since high school,
from the standpoint of growing food for myself, to eat.
'Not for sale',
and that is the point.
'Subsistance farming', 'sounds' of 'poverty'.
But if a man had 'land', to grow a big garden on.
To raise poultry, eggs, cut firewood and basically live on.
If he could get the property taxes down, and just stay home,
less travel = less gas = less money,
Doing productive things at home 'on the farm',
he could achieve the ideal lifestyle.
His interests would revolve around his hounds,
hunting, the garden, soil, the woods,
books, writing, music and cooking,
things and activities which do not cost 'money',
they don't really earn money either,
but rather the 'natural interests' and 'daily activities'
produce what one uses, ie. 'subsistance'.
Imagine, working at some 'job' all day.
{A subsistance 'job'}
{ thats worse}
It costs money to get there, to eat lunch.
Then you are paid with... you guessed it... money,
minus taxes!
You spend your days working on someone else's 'stuff',
not your own.
The money you have left, after expenses,
is traded to others for everything you use in your life.
Every transaction is taxed.
Think of the store where you 'get your beer' for example.
Just kidding, but really, think of the store.
Electric bills, the building itself, employees must make money.
The delivery truck which brings the beer from the beer factory.
Gas for it, tires, the driver. How much does the electric bill at the beer factory cost!!!
Think of all the 'layers' of people,
expenses, profit, taxes, in every object everybody uses, everywhere and it is crazy. A beer costs a dollar!
One beer!
Not even a very good one at that.
The answer... just brew your own.
Vegetables? Grow them.
Meat? Raise the window and shoot a chicken, or a squirrel.
Firewood? just cut some.
Knives {for sale} ? Make them.
Tan your own fur, & clean your own skulls.
Cut your own hair and brew your own beer.
Sorry to run on so,
but to live,
without needing that dxxx money all the time,
is achieved not by working harder at some job 'making money',
but by producing what you would other wise buy with the dxxx money, if in fact you had some.
Yes, it is true Jack,
Europe is expensive. Germany always was overpopulated. The German lands always were the most densly populated part of Europe. The most industry, the least room for expansion. More than ever now, Germany is short on space, having been forced to accept several million refugees from Eastern Europe and a host of non-European nations. There is no wild nature left in Central Europe. It is all under strict cultivation, even the forests have had to be re-planted. Noisy highways cut through idilic mountains & meadows.
