I DID host a Thanksgiving dinner for 20 people, and it was wonderful.
I DID NOT make a turkey. The lovely and multi-talented Headbang8 and Kim tackled that task. Everyone was quite impressed with the outcome. I hear the job involved sawing off necks (alas, no photos of that).
I DID make a couple pumpkin pies from scratch, meaning I started with an actual pumpkin. Four of them, actually. And I made NPR’s most unusual cranberry relish, which people seemed to love, horseradish and all.
I DID enjoy the fact that Munich’s Christmas markets are finally open. We started the season with some gloriously flaming feuerzangenbowle at Tollwood.
And last but not least, I MOST CERTAINLY DID NOT participate in this week’s Moment of Starlings flashmob, even though there’s a photo in Friday’s Münchner Merkur of someone who looks curiously like me gleefully stopping traffic by stringing tape through an intersection. I also did not waltz in front of the US consulate or participate in a sleep-in at the Haus der Kunst. But I imagine the whole event looked something like this.
I’m looking forward to the next flashmob on Wednesday. If you’d like to play along, you can sign up to participate on the Urbanauten website. I did.
Hehehe – looks like a fun week! I need to try these Feuerzangenbowle when I am home next weekend. Hope they don't kill me but I guess that is part of the fun.
Looks like you had a fabulous weekend! I wish I could have been there, but I enjoyed having house guests this weekend… I assume that they will post about their time in Weimar and Erfurt soon.
Hey, that "Feuerzangenbowle" pic is a scream. Love the alternative take on Xmas markets at Tollwood. Might be in MUC again before Xmas, will have to stop by.
Have a great week,
Michael
am i going to have to start tallying the number of times my hiney is on the internet?
Michelle – definitely a must. There's a good fzb at Rindermarkt, too.
Adam – Glad you guys had fun!
Michael – I agree, Tollwood offers some nice variety to the xmas market scene.
Em – if you had a nickel for every time…
Kim is lovely and multi-talented. I'm just multi-talented.
