Feuerzangenbowle: Ann & Jason
Feuerzangenbowle, also known as Fire-Tongs Punch, is a Christmas tradition in Germany. If you're in Tubingen in December, you'd likely get to see the public display of lit up feuerzangenbowles all across the town square. If you can't make it to Germany, Ann & Jason will happily bring the feuerzangenbowle to your own home, but you must sign a waiver first - fire, burning microwaves, and smoke alarms are highly likely!
The recipe calls for a nice pot of wine, simmering with cinnamon,
cloves, lemons, and oranges. But beware of the sugar cubes soaked in
Bacardi 151!
Although we very nearly burnt the Mini's house down, the end result was well worth the risk!

We added more cinnamon sticks and cloves than the recipe called for, basically till we thought it looked pretty and smelled yummy :)

Snowman Cheese Ball: Katie & Denis
Christmas wouldn't be complete without a tiny snowman made out of cheese! This adorable concoction was made of three layers of cheese balls -
Complete with a carrot nose, nobody dared to eat his head, but we definitely did some damage to his body!
