Favorite part about teaching
Stammtisch! Conversing with students over pizza auf Deutsch!
Favorite word or saying in German
All things "Speck" (specifically Kummerspeck, and Babyspeck)
Best food/drink in Germany/Austria?
Spargelsuppe - this one time, in Munich, I went to the opera and to a fancy restaurant during Spargelzeit and ate a soup that was to die for.
Oh, and Zwetschgendatschi - this delicious freshly-picked plum cake that I ate on a lovely, blustery, cool Fall day sitting in a cozy cabin at the foot of the Alps.
Oh, and Flaedersaft - this drink made from the flower of the Elderberry.
Oh, and Brezeln mit Butter - you cannot beat a pretzel with butter.
Favorite city
Munich - the first city where I felt at home away from home.
