Nice pick up. I hadn't noticed that. I usually remember to look at the names of the characters for clues. But I forgot this time. And I missed the fire pit as an analog for the oven - very good work there, Gretel.

Thanks for the translation! Now the sentence makes sense to me because there is an old expression 'Haven't seen you in a 'coon's age' (don't hear it much anymore), which means a very long time.
Wow - good team work guys. Those references completely went over my head. One of the things I liked about the TV show Lost was there were all these little easter eggs interspersed in the stories. I'm glad to see the tradition upheld in Grimm.
