Visiting a German family

Today I was in Tuebingen West to visit a German family. This is a hospitality program from the Church. This so called "a family" lives only one German woman. She works in the university. It was a nice apartment, to me is very comfortable for a single person. Tuebingen West She cooked some Salad and Spagetti, isn't "real German", but is one of the Altagsessen. :p We had ice-cream as dessert (Yes, in European family, I think there is always a dessert). It is a bit strange that I haven't yet discovered they have separate desserts for summer and winter. After dinner she showed us some cook books. Schwaebisch essen: "Spazille(?) is a kind of home-made noodle. Then we left by walking for some 20 min to the town-center. There is only 1 bus per hour in her region after 9pm. So my student apartment region is quite convenient?!
