This past weekend, we were invited by some lovely German friends to partake in the time-honored Christmas tradition of Feuerzangenbowle. It all starts out innocent enough. Red wine is mixed with spices and citrus and warmed to perfection. And then the Germans take it to a whole new level by dousing a sugar cone with rum and lighting it on fire, letting the melting sugar drip into the wine punch and refilling it with rum and fire until sweetened to perfection. Take a look. After about 15 minutes of rum and fire, the sugar has completely melted, and warm Christmas flavors are poured into a mug and shared among friends. For the second round, Michael took over as chief pyromaniac - not too shabby for a first-timer!
