Holiday evening at Emerson house

Tonight was Glühwein and cocktails at the Emerson house. I had my first proper mulled wine at the Christkindlmarket in Germany 1999 while visiting Claudia. At the time it seemed bitter, but it was warming on those snowy nights. I’ve had mulled wine this month from several places and found them much yummier than my memory of it. And this is a good thing. I am a fan now.

We cooked up a little bratwursts with onions, and potato salad as nibbles, to keep with the German theme.

Ingrid also had pastries from Renaud’s.  People brought ornaments to decorate the tree. Lots of chatter and drinking of mulled wine took place. Little decorating of the giant gingerbread man took place, poor guy must have gotten cold from being naked.

Love the holidays.
