"... My wife and I were good friends of the Kahlers and were invited to social gatherings at their home, but we did not belong to their intellectual circle. We never heard the words "Kahler Kreis" and never read their writings. The most memorable part of our relationship was the kitchen-friendship between my wife Imme and Lily Kahler. The two of them would prepare delicious German pastries in the kitchen while the husbands discussed German philosophy in the living-room. I remember only the pastries."
