“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Gluehwein

 

Ingredients

60 g sugar
1/2 cinnamon stick
4 cloves
1 peel of 1/2 lemon
1/8 liter water
1 liter red wine
1 juice of 1/2 - 1 lemon



 

Preparation

Put cinnamon, cloves and lemon peel in a paper tea filter; tie it
shut with a piece of white yarn. Together with the water and the
sugar, bring it to a boil in a pot, let sit for 20 minutes. Take out
the tea filter, add the red wine and heat. The art is to heat the
wine up as close to its boiling temperature without ever getting it
to boil (the most important thing about making gluehwein is that the
wine must NEVER boil). Finally, add lemon juice to taste.

Possible variations: ~ leave away the lemon juice or use orange juice
instead ~ leave away the lemon peel ~ instead of boiling the tea
filter, put it directly into the wine, heat,
and let soak for 30 - 45 minutes (you don't need the water this
way); if
you chop up the ingredients before putting them in the filter, you
get a
more intensive flavor ~ add a few drops of vanilla ~ add a little
cardamom and/or ginger ~ vary the quantities of cinnamon, cloves and
sugar ~ to get the possibly most famous type of gluehwein, the
Nuernberger
Christkindlesmarkt-Gluehwein, use blueberry wine instead of red wine
