Making feuerzangenbowle in the Christmas market. One of these big copper kettles exploded early on in December. A scandal for the Osnabrueckers, who are still talking about the lack of regulation on mulled wine kettles, and the tragedy of the spilled gallons of that sweet nectar.
Birgit and Gerrit met us at the Christmas market. It was so cold, but we were warmed up by our feuerzangenbowle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feuerzangenbowle. Gerrit made it at home once, but used too much rum, so the whole thing exploded all over the kitchen.
Hello everyone,
ReplyDeleteit is a great idea starting this blog, we really enjoyed the first pages!
Christmas market yesterday was fun, we not only had Feuerzangenbowle, but also mulled whine and "Sylter Welle mit Schuß" That is a tea from red berrys with added rasberry brandy.
Gerrits unforeseen occurence was even worse, we just had finished painting the kitchen...
Best wishes and a merry christmas and a happy new year to everyone reading this blog,
warmest regards from Gerrit and Birgit
