#1 I was excited to live in Germany, but I was disappointed with my apartment. It was small, dark, and charmless. I was determined to learn how to communicate with the Germans so that I could do some proper marketing.

#2 I began to explore my new surroundings in Germany. I bought chickens, beans, apples, lightbulbs, an extension cord, olive oil, vinegar, and a rubber stamp that said Greetings from Old Downtown Plittersdorf on the Rhine.

#3 I began to experiment with chicken cookery in January 1955. I wanted to include a crisp, a fricasseed, and a simmered version, yet I didn’t want to do an entire book’s worth of chicken dishes.

#4 In 1955, my husband Paul was investigated for being a Communist. He was not being promoted, but instead was being made to wait in anonymous offices for VIPs who were MIA. He suggested that I delay my Paris visit.
