When we landed in Munich last night it started snowing – a real white x-mas feeling – wonderful! We are staying with friends and beside presents from Brazil for them such as bikinis, a large chunk of beef and fresh palm hearts we found the most original treat for their dog in a pet shop in Botafogo:
Yes – Panettone for dogs – Asha the Rodesian Richback clearly enjoyed the treat:
After going for a long walk in the snow, we visited the X-mas market at the shores of Tegernsee – pure winter wonderland setting with small stalls selling art and crafts, snacks and most importantly Glühwein – mulled wine. Here the recipe:
Glühwein for 4-6
- 1 bottle of red wine
- 50-100g of sugar
- 1 stick of cinnamon
- 2 cloves
- skin of 1/2 lemon very finely grated
- juice of half a lemon
- 100ml water
Slowly heat everything together in a pot on the stove making sure not to boil it. Serve in cups. Great together with roasted chestnuts.
