One thing can be sure in life and that is my friend, Krueger will always celebrate her birthday at The Red Lion. A true blue German (her parents moved to the US from Germany) Krueger is a creature of habit but mostly she is stubborn. It's in her blood. Her grandma survived a concentration camp and that will to survive in the hardest conditions lives on in her granddaughter. How else can you explain Krueger's unwillingness to give up VHS tapes? You may think you know a creature of habit but let me assure you that you don't...unless you have met Krueger.
If she doesn't understand it or live by it, its wrong. This girl has a secret stash of her favorite Addias flip flops (made in the 1990's) that she will only take out for a special occasion because Addias has stopped making them and she has worn her many other pairs down to crumbles. She only got this pair because a friend was traveling the country and found them in a little shop and bought them for Krueger. Krueger, in order to preserve what she feels is heaven, keeps them in a box and wears these on the rarest of occasions. But let me tell you I have known her for 15 years and she always wore those flips flops. Always. She only stopped when the duct tape wore out on her last pair about 3 years ago.
Yes, a little bit of motherland, Germany lives in Glendale and each year, her friends are subjected to chicken schnitzel, brats, and sauerkraut. Well, this year I rebelled and ordered fish and chips and so did 4 other people. She was not pleased and branded us Britonites. I couldn't get her to see my point...which was if the Red Lion serves it on the menu it must be German....right? Wrong. It took some dessert to get her happy again but then she made us taste it and you know what?......well, watch the video.
