Because I'm about to make Petra's Kaesespaetzle this weekend, it reminded me that it would be fun to post the recipe that she wrote out for my daughter Natalie. The recipe in the photos are in German in her hand; roughly, it translates as follows:
Cheese Spaetzle
Serves about 4.
Ingredients:
4-5 eggs
100 ml Water
about 300 g Flour
1 pinch salt
2 onions, slowly sautéed to caramelize
250 g grated cheese (Gruyere or Emmentaler)
Chopped bacon
Beat the eggs, water, flour and salt together until the dough is smooth.
Press batches of the dough through a ricer into salted boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes
Use a sieve or slotted spoon to pull out noodles into bowl and cook the next portions.
Mix the spaetzle with some of the cheese into a casserole bowl; cover with the remaining cheese. Bake at 350oF until the cheese is melted.
Sprinkle the onions and bacon over the top when it comes out of the oven.
Guten Appetit!

I still find it hard to accept that I will not see Petra again. When you asked at our meeting what we associate with Petra, I had so many things on my mind.
I told you that every time I was happy to see Petra happy in the USA. Of course America was always exciting and great. But the time alone with Petra has made it so unique.
Ever since I can remember, the times and stories with Petra have been simply incomparable. Petra always supported me and us unconditionally and always took time for us. Whether it was simple days with her or exciting experiments in the laboratory, I will never forget the time.
Thanks to Petra I am today as I am. Petra has always confirmed our curiosity and has awakened my interest not in biology, but in technology. Thanks to Petra I am today as I am. Petra was/is and always will be a role model for me.
Besides my parents, Petra was a very important person for me and even if she left us much too early, I will remember the good times with her and try to lead my life in a way that she could be proud of me.
It is great how Petra's friends took care of her when her family was not able to.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember that she was always very happy to see you. The good and calming thing is, that the loved ones will live on in our memories and most important in our hearts.

I remember Petra for her generosity, warmth, and strength. The first time I met her, she let me, a complete stranger to her and a guest of Aadra's use her home. As I grew closer to the people that are now my family, I will always remember Petra for her love of plants, for her straightforwardness, her courage, and spirit. I will continue thinking of you, you will always be in my prayers.

I am one of the many lucky people who received training from Petra. Before joining UNC in 2011, I had no experience of plant pathology. Petra taught me how to perform infection assays from the very beginning. To make sure that I learned the correct method, she would spend hours recounting all of my samples and compare her results with mine. She would come to the lab on weekends to take care of my plants. Petra was a caring friend. She was as cheered as me when I showed her exciting results. I cannot believe that such a wonderful person has left us.

This is how I last spent few moments with Petra in July 2019.
Life is a celebration, in person or in soul.
I admired her for the sweet person she was, and her love for friends, plants, nature, fun and hard work. Her continued involvement for work even during the tough days of her illness gave me courage to hold my own will strong. She was an inspiration to me though I met her only few times during my visits at Carrboro. She will remain in my heart always and whenever I hear and see beauty of nature, I will continue thinking of her.
