My family is very German. By most accounts, about 95 percent. And our traditional family recipes are proof, thanks to my grandmothers and my mom. So on my mom’s birthday–lucky June 13–I suggested we visit a German establishment filled with all the great things about our German way of life. She agreed and I set about making plans for the adventure. My youngest sister and her family, my younger brother and his family, my parents and my daughters all set a course for the Hofbrauhaus in Cincinnati.

We are all born with the first core need — Affiliation. We need to belong, primarily to a family. At some point when you’re a child, a very little child, you discover the second core need — Autonomy. You want to know that you’re important for who you uniquely are. And therein lies a fundamental dichotomy that rules most of our lives.
