Was ist Glühwein?

Posted by: Qarl Nov 19 2003, 12:00 AM

Vor drei Jahren, gewann ich einen Bierbrauenwettbewerb!

Es war ein Bier wie Guiness Stout!

Posted by: Bruce Allert Nov 19 2003, 12:00 AM

BTW... what is Glühwein?
bruce

Posted by: Qarl Nov 19 2003, 12:02 AM

Is that the spiced red wine, serverd hot/warm?

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 19 2003, 12:06 AM

Glühwein:
take 1 1/2 liter of cheap-o-redwine, heat it up until boiling,
add "Glühweingewürz" (a special assortement of spices, which is the tricky part, had my mom send me some from germany), add sugar if you like, let it steep for a while ...

drink while HOT!

traditional german drink for the winter-time. makes you feel very warm & fuzzy.

Posted by: jonwatts Nov 19 2003, 01:07 AM

Sounds like a beverage rendered from old racehorses.

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 19 2003, 01:14 AM

is that you in your avatar?

Posted by: jonwatts Nov 19 2003, 01:27 AM

Yes, it's vacation footage of me nude parasailing over San Francisco.

Used to go with a gal. We drank Glühwein after we went to the woods and cut Chrismas trees. Built a fire in the snow, middle of the trees, heat it in a tin pot, stir with cinamon sticks. Ummmmmm!!!

Cut trees first. Chainsaws and Glühwein don't mix.

Es ist nicht schon zeit für Neuer Wein und Zweibelkuchen?

Posted by: Jeroen Nov 19 2003, 05:30 AM

Jeroen

We did that stuff when skiing in Austria and Germany....3 glasses then hit the slopes. Made it easier to ski in shorts on the sunny glaciers and piss off the locals. Great fun....

Posted by: Jenny Nov 19 2003, 10:46 AM

Let's do an impromptu 914 breakfast (I know officially we won't have one until Jan.) and have Andy bring some of that Glühwein. It sounds good! (I had to settle for chardonay last night )

Jen

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 19 2003, 12:31 PM

ok, how about a 914 snowboard/sleigh/skiing weekend in tahoe with lots of SirAndy's special german Glühwein?

a friend of mine has a cabin up there ...
any takers?

Andy

Posted by: Queenie Nov 19 2003, 12:46 PM

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

I probably don't have the time or the money but it sure sounds like fun.

Maybe I could pull it off.

I've always wanted to learn to ski.

Posted by: Jenny Nov 19 2003, 12:46 PM

Yes! Especially if there's a cabin involved. Lets! I'll bet Fiid would want to as well. He'd mentioned a ski trip earlier.

Jen

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 19 2003, 12:53 PM

neither do i (the $$$ that is)
but since when is such a negligibility going to stop us

i'll get in touch with said friend and check for availability ...
Andy

Posted by: Queenie Nov 19 2003, 12:59 PM

That's why god gave me a stellar credit rating, I reckon.



If I let that kind of thing stop me from doing stuff, I'd never leave the house. Damn the torpedos - if we can work it out, let's do it. I am always jonesing to get out of town at the end of the semester no matter what. All I need is an excuse, and this sounds like a good one!

Posted by: Brad Roberts Nov 19 2003, 02:04 PM

I'm in.

We also need to hold a Novato breakfast weekend after Thanksgiving.


B

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 19 2003, 02:15 PM

speaking of thanksgiving ...
still wanna join forces in the turkey-slaughter madness?

your place? our place?
Andy

Posted by: Brad Roberts Nov 19 2003, 02:27 PM

We dont have a table to sit around. Let me chat with Lyressa today and find out what she wants to do.

B

Posted by: Marty Yeoman Nov 19 2003, 02:31 PM

Any further definition of said breakfast????

Posted by: Brad Roberts Nov 19 2003, 02:37 PM

Marty,

I will start another thread with more details. I'm currently trying to think of a decent eating place that can serve 20 people with decent parking up here.

It will be the Saturday after Thanksgiving (Dec 6th) If you want a tee sooner.. I can meet you somewhere this weekend.


B

Posted by: Brad Roberts Nov 19 2003, 02:38 PM

Andy,

Lyressa said our place is fine and we will invite Britain also. Bring one dish to be cooked or bring it ready to warm up.

I always ride much better after a couple of Glühweins
Can we make it Val d'Isère ??

Posted by: Marty Yeoman Nov 19 2003, 02:45 PM

Brad,
I am not in any big rush for the tee. My car is functional as is. I am just looking for parts for my next garage session. Maybe we can transfer $/parts thru the mail?? If not at the next get togeather.
Marty

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 19 2003, 02:50 PM

we have a big dining table 8 people easy ...

ask the wife,
Andy

Posted by: Brad Roberts Nov 19 2003, 02:51 PM

Correct.. but you dont have the big screen for watching NFL football. We have a table somewhere.

May be should load up your table and bring it here.. should be pretty easy with the truck.


B

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 19 2003, 02:53 PM

now there's an idea

it's pretty lightweight too. 2 people can lift it easily.
Andy

Posted by: Brad Roberts Nov 19 2003, 03:05 PM

Sold. We will bring your table here.

Maybe we should drink ourselves silly. Britain can stay in the downstairs room and you and Shannon can take the guest room with the flannel sheets.

I have a ton of liquer that people give us every Christmas that hasnt been touched (we dont drink very often unless its beer).



B

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 19 2003, 03:13 PM

now THAT sounds like a plan ...

shannon and i have to go to one of her crazy twin-bosses party the day after.
damm, sounds like a fun week

Andy

Posted by: McMark Nov 21 2003, 01:09 AM

Brad, should I be asking for Dec 6th off from "work"?

Posted by: Brad Roberts Nov 21 2003, 01:10 AM

Only if you plan on attending the breakfast. I honestly dont care if anyone shows up.. I'll be there to eat breakfast.

The man speaks the magic C word - CABIN!

I am so in for a ski weekend.

Posted by: Brad Roberts Nov 21 2003, 01:13 AM

I'll ride with Fiid. But I dont ski. I stay at the bar.

When I'm not at the shop, I'm sleeping. Get it while you can.
