1. Don't imagine you can change a man - unless he's in nappies.
2. What do you do if your boyfriend walks out? You shut the door.
3. If they put a man on the moon - they should be able to put them all up there.
4. Never let your man's mind wander - it's too little to be out alone.
5. Go for the younger man. You might as well, they never mature anyway.
6. Men are all the same - they just have different faces, so that you can tell them apart.
7. Definition of a bachelor: a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman miserable.
8. Women don't make fools of men - most of them are the do-it-yourself types.
9. Best way to get a man to do something is to suggest he is too old for it.
10. Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.
11. If you want a committed man, look in a mental hospital.
12. The children of Israel wandered around the desert for 40 years. Even in Biblical times, men wouldn't ask for directions.
13. If he asks what sort of books you're interested in, tell him cheque books.

Only kiddies buy toy cars, so you're obviously too old.

As the dark season arrives it's time to start making some traditional drinks.
In Sweden this would be glögg.
Germans and Brits, and probaly others, knows some similar but weaker drinks under the names Glüwein and Mulled wine.
I personally find the stuff you buy in the shops inferior to what I can make myself, so tonight I'll share with you a 250 year old recipe.
The unaltered recipe states the ingrediends as:
- 1 bottle of beer
- 3 dried figs
- 20 Cardamom kernels
- 3 bitter orange peels
- 6 cloves
- 1 stick of cinnamon
- 1 piece of ginger
- 270 grams of sugar
- half a bottle of vodka
- 1 bottle of Madeira
I personally exchange the vodka for rum and lower the amount to about half a cup. I also use less than half the amount of cardamom but doubles the amount of cloves and cinnamon.
I also find Cassia cinnamon better than the regular type. The amount of ginger isn't something you need to be careful about but some trial and error has given me the opinion that it should be a piece about the size of a thumb.
The beers they had 250 years ago isn't the same as what the populace is drinking today. So don't use a regular lager or an IPA. I find that a brown ale or a keller bier works fine. But it's not very important as long as you don't use very hoppy beer or a porter.
It doesn't need to be Madeira, most red wines will do as long as they aren't of the weaker kind.
And lastly the sugar. I use unrefined sugar instead of white sugar, it probably more correct for the old times but also tastes better. I'm also using just half the amount. I strongly recommend to try out the amount you like instead of just following the recipe. You can always add, but you can't remove.
Now back to the recipe
Pour the vodka(rum) in a pot and add all the spices and the quartered figs.
Let it draw for fifteen minutes under low heat. Don't let it boil.
Pour off the vodka(rum) and add the bottle of beer. Don't throw away the rum(vodka)!
Let it boil for fifteen minutes while adding the sugar while stirring.
Add the wine and the rum add let it draw for another half an hour on low heat. Once again no boiling.
Sample frequently to make sure you get it right.
Strain the spices and serve it in small cups with raisins and blanched almonds.
They claim it tastes better if you let the spices draw for a couple of weeks.
I have never tried this.
Now back to the sampling...
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Sounds interesting, I've never tried adding beer when making gløgg ...
|
|
|
|

Just don't use an extreme one.
I find that juleøl works fine, but don't take the whole bottle then, as it will dominate the taste a bit to much otherwise.
And a standard lager will just water down the glögg.

Sounds lovely. It's a very wintery drink, but that shouldn't stop me making it in summer anyway.

It actually works fine as an iced drink in a shot glass.

You may say that. People here (South Germany) are already mounting the Weihnachtsmarkts (Christmas markets) with stands for sausages, Glühwein, "artesanal" handicrafts and so on...
There is a full economy working on next month. I personally doesn't like the standard Glühwein much, but there are some mixes that very tasty.
Regards.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I love the Weinachtsmarkts. Me and my family arrive in Germany on the tenth of december. Weinachtsmarkt is on the list.
But even my wife, that's German, and loves Glüwein as an institution at the Weinachtsmarkt, prefers glögg in other circumstances.
