Le Giron. Chef Robert asked Gudrun, in
English, how she would like her Caribou
cooked. “Well done, please,” was her
reply. I hung my head and said: “He’s
going kill you…” And Chef Robert, with
some humor, asked if she wanted it as
hard as the wooden table, or, as tough
as his shoe. After a little conversation
the confusion remained and Chef Robert
would use his judgment. Gudrun received
a wonderful meal. It was later we learned
from a friend who is fluent in German
and English the expression Gudrun was
trying to translate was: “done well”
… the German equivalent for “cooked
correctly”.

Just to finish of the month in good style
Tracey and I attended the Porsche of
Nashua charity car show. Dan and his
colleagues pulled together a show for
the benefit of Easter Seals of NH. It was a
great turn out and for a while we were the
only NCR members in sight. Later Matt
and Xana showed, Deb and Jim Gratton,
and Judy. They had all been down to
Lowell, MA to watch Jaime Gratton run
the marathon. Judy arrived in time to
collect the trophy for People’s Choice…
Der Tub won the class.
Photographs of the Porsche of Nashua
event will be in this issue.
Yes, David has had a good month.
Just as a foot note here I must mention
Northlander strives to be aware and fair
to all our advertisers. We also want to
be supportive of our Porsche dealerships
as requested by PCA. So, please, read
my comments above in context. Our
local dealerships and their staff are very
generous to NCR. We like to include them
in our stories. And we appreciate their
enthusiasm.
