German Fails: So today I was working with my boss and her daughter wanted a wrap. I told her "Das ist nicht wie man einen Wrap rollt" (That isn't how a wrap is rolled ) so she replied ( basically) "Bet" followed by "Du machst heute das Abendessen, und du kannst mir zeigen, wie das geht." (You make dinner and you can show me how that goes )
So I did. I made something texmex. Hackfleish, blistered Paprika, Lime, Corn etc etc. And I was describing the Process of the recipe and I did not know the word for Blistering in German. I know a blister is eine Blase. So in my naivete I thought that must mean "Die Paprika wird geblasen" Unfortunately this doesn't mean blistered it means to blow in a rather sexual fashion.
She laughed. I laughed. I learned something about German. We all had fun and I did not deep throat a Paprika. I have no shame. I still would have done it.
