Once a person masters the art of preparing Zabaglione, <says Delila>
You've got the perfect base for a brilliant ice cream, and if you fold in
bits of biscotti, it all gets very Italian and lovely. The recipe is anything but simple, but well worth the effort when completed.

Stradee, your recipe looks good.
The cookies in the picture- they look like cantucci.
Mhm- cantucci and vino santo.

My easiest recipe:
!/2 box of cornflakes
milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate
some flaked coconut ( if you like coconut)

In a bain marie melt the chocolate
Put cornflakes into a large bowl, add the liquid chocolate,( and the coconut flakes)
Mix thoroughly
Use 2 teespoons to form little heaps on a plate
Chill for about 3 hours.


Diane, mhm- Trüffel.

Ul and Diane ~ both great recipes!

Ul, Cantucci and wine a wonderful treat especially after serving pasta with garlic butter and spices instead of marinara sauce. When we were kids, instead of wine - we'd dunk the Cantucci in GingerAle! Yum!

My grandmother house was the place for stopping when after riding our bikes or Flexies, my grandparents kept a plate of Biscotti, varieties of melons <when in season> apples, oranges, and chocolate bars for her grandchildren and thier friends. Recall my favorite treat was fresh french bread, lots of butter, and special blend coffee my grandmother
mixed in the coffee grinder. When my grandmother passed, my Aunt
<god love her> took the coffee grinder and made a lamp out of it.
Probably why to this very day i've been unsuccessful duplicating grandmothers coffee recipe. I know darn good and well the coffee grinder holds the secret, but cannot convince my Aunt. Laughing

Had an appointment with my opthamologist today - and we realized we hadn't lit the required Hannukah candles last night.

(the first night was the 7th)

LOL- undiscovered Vienna- 4 people looked at the Christmas tree and now there are 4 different opinions where this picture was taken. I guess "Am Hof", there is a nice Christmas market with antiques, jewels and old fashioned Christmas decorations. Mostly pewter and glass.

The menorah is beautiful.
Now you need a Dreidel and some good company.

Ahh, ul, I did not know we were guessing!! My guess is the Nasch Markt where the Flea Market is on Saturdays. At least the buildings look familiar.

I also love the fleamarket

Mhm, Naschmarkt/ Fleemarket corner. There is usually no Christmas tree and the architecture is different.
Family opinion is either Freyung, Am Hof or somewhere in the Inner City. It is really hard to tell.

Ah ul, this is a mystery we must solve.....!

First, we must decide the location - the buildings in the background look like almost all the buildings in the ring around the 1st District. That is= Alsergrund, Josefstadt, Neubau, Mariahilf, Margareten, Wieden or Wien......the South Eastern section. Maybe????? I don't think it is North of the Kanal. What do you think?????

Third Advent and we're searching for a tree in Vienna!

Too bad hamburger's on his way to Hawaii (so sad :wink: ), or we could get him in on this search. He's certainly wandered the corners of Vienna over the decades.

THE THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Litany

Leader 1: The Advent wreath helps us recollect the miracle of God's becoming human for our sake. The wreath is a circle, causing us to remember the eternity of God's love for us and for all humanity. It is decked with green boughs, causing us to remember the newness of life we have in Christ Jesus.

Leader 2: The first candle reminds us of the prophets' hope for God's salvation to come. The second candle reminds us of Jesus' humility in coming to earth and being born in a stall.

People: The third candle reminds us of the joy of the shepherds as they heard the good news of Jesus' arrival, for: "The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them" (Luke 2:20).

Leader 1: So let us sing as we celebrate the coming of God to the world.

Hymns

"The Prophets Came to Israel" (Stanza 1-3) SFL, #128
or
"Light One Candle" (Stanzas 1-3) SS, # 102 or WOV, #630


Did anyone else think it was really ALL about the shepherds? The rest of the story didn't really interest me - but sheep and camels and shepherds and stables - now, that was interesting stuff.

Hanukkah Foods

Many traditional Hanukkah foods are cooked in oil, in remembrance of the oil that burned in the temple. In the United States, the most widespread Hanukkah food is latkes, or potato pancakes, a custom that may have developed in Eastern Europe. In Israel, the favorite Hanukkah food is sufganiya, a kind of jelly donut cooked in oil. Israelis eat sufganiyot for more than a month before the start of Hanukkah.

Eating dairy products, especially cheese, is another Hanukkah tradition. This is done in memory of the Jewish heroine Judith, who according to legend saved her village from Syrian attackers. Judith fed wine and cheese to the Syrian general Holofernes until he became so drunk that he fell to the ground. She then seized his sword and cut off his head, which she brought back to her village in a basket. The next morning, Syrian troops found the headless body of their leader and fled in terror.
