Red's mission on New Year's Eve: decorating EVERY room!
Dinner with Polish Salad (fish, potatoes, apples, beets, eggs) and beer. On this special occasion also Coke for Red: "Uuuh, that's so sweet .... can I have some water, please?"
After dinner we caught a glimpse of the future by melting lead and interpreting its shape. Even though we had a long list of possible shapes and their meaning, our future remains mysterious :)
Later on Opa made Feuerzangenbowle! In the pot: hot red wine with star anise, oranges, lemon, and cinnamon. On top: rum-drenched sugar cone that is set on fire. The melted sugar drips into the wine. Delightful!
Luckily everybody was still awake at midnight to toast with champagne and fizzy water! Afterwards we went out into the street and tried out the sparklers and fire crackers. It was great fun!
Late breakfast on January 1st - here's to a happy and healthy New Year!
