We managed to create quite a party in our little living room! Here we are enjoying the starter of venison prepared from a buck roe deer shot by Steen (one of our friends, actually to my right out of view). As I mentioned in the previous blog, hunting is popular here. If I remember, the distaste that I felt the previous day out in the forest at the thought of hunting those beautiful animals, was replaced on this evening by a rather lovely taste and washed down with copious amounts of red.
Ruth and Romain donned disguise to get closer to the locals.
Inge and I made a good cocktail team. As expressed in my face, this taste testing is a serious business!
Some of my Aussie habits have to be maintained, despite the sub-zero temperatures... Frozen daquiri anyone?
Come midnight the sky lights up with the spectacle of an every-man-for-himself amateur fireworks free-for-all that honestly has to be seen to be believed. The sale of fireworks is not restricted and it is a rite of passage for every young man to loose some portion of their anatomy during their teenage years to this orgy of fire. The body count was low this year - no deaths, several buildings and apartment burnt down and only one serious injury when one of this countries brightest minds put the rocket in his mouth before lighting...
Happy New Year!
