„Stöðug pressa um að gera allt hraðar hefur þau áhrif að við flýtum okkur í gegnum lífið í stað þess að lifa því í raun og veru. Ef þú gírar þig niður, stígur á bremsuna, nærðu yfirsýn og allt raðast á sinn stað. Þú tengir betur, skapar meira, einbeitir þér betur og afkastar meiru. Þú einfaldlega lifir meira og betur.“ þetta eru orð Carls Honoré, en Hæglætishreyfingin á Íslandi fær hann á næstunni til landsins til að flytja fyrirlestur um hugmyndafræði Hæglætishreyfingarinnar. Þóra Jónsdóttir, formaður hreyfingarinnar á Íslandi kom til okkar og sagði okkur meira frá hreyfingunni og þessum fyrirlestri Carl Honoré. Jónatan Garðarsson kom svo til okkar í dag og hélt áfram að fræða okkur um sögu íslensks tónlistarfólks. Í þetta sinn fræddi hann okkur um Öddu Örnólfs, en hún söng inn á fjölmargar plötur á sjötta áratugnum, til dæmis lagið um Bellu símamær sem hefur fyrir löngu orðið sígilt. Hún fæddist árið 1935 á Suðureyri við Súgandafjörð en fluttist ung til Reykjavíkur og var uppgötvuð átján ára. Jónatan sagði okkur meira frá hennar söngferli og ævi í þættinum. Við fengum svo að lokum póstkort frá Magnúsi R. Einarssyni í dag. Póstkortið berst frá Þýskalandi að þessu sinni. Í því segir frá jólamörkuðum sem eru forn þýsk hefð allt frá fjórtándu öld. Jólamarkaðurinn þykir ómissandi hluti af aðventunni og þar hafa myndast margar skemmtilegar hefðir i gegnum aldirnar og hefur hver borg sinn sérstaka stíl. En það sem er sameginlegt með þeim öllum er hefðbundin matur og drykkur, kökur, sætabrauð og jólaglögg, eða Gluhwein eins og þjóðverjar kalla það. Einnig er fjallað um jólatónlist sem hefur breyst mikið í áranna rás. Tónlist í þættinum: Senn koma jólin / Sigríður Beinteinsdóttir (Þorvaldur Bjarni Þorvaldsson, texti Kristlaug María Sigurðardóttir) Hátíðarfiðringur/Pálmi Sigurhjartarsson og Unnur Birna Bassadóttir(Pálmi Sigurhjartarsson -Herdís Anna Þorvaldsdóttir ) Kom þú til mín / Adda Örnólfs og Hljómsveit Carls Bilich (Kristinn Magnússon, texti Jón Ingiberg Bjarnason) Bella símamær / Adda Örnólfs (lagahöfundur ókunnur, texti Guðmundur Guðmundarson) UMSJÓN GUÐRÚN GUNNARSDÓTTIR OG GUNNAR HANSSON

Have you ever dreamed of experiencing a magical Christmas market around the holidays?  I researched numerous places both internationally and locally (to the USA) and found 5 places that encapsulate both the Old World feel and winter recreation opportunities.1) Vienna, Austria: Hosts one of the largest on the planet with numerous markets across the city. Nine skiing places in the vicinity.2) Dresden Striezelmarkt- Dresden, Germany: Germany's oldest markets surrounded by the Baroque city.  Germany does host the most Christmas markets in one country, including; Frankfort, Heidelberg, Munich and others. Plus lots of skiing available among all the mountain ranges in the area.3) Zagreb Christmas Market- Zagreb, CroatiaFocus is on advent throughout the activities within the market.4) Carmel Christkindlmarkt- Carmel, Indiana (USA)The town looks like Saxony, Germany and features the only Gluhwein pyramid with 3000 lights and 33 feet tall.5) Georgetown Christmas Market- Georgetown, Colorado (USA)A quaint town with horse-drawn carriage rides, caroling, festive shopping and eating roasted chestnuts. Only runs the 2 weekends before Christmas. Being in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, plenty of places to have a winter wonderland experience as well.

Wat is je grootste vijand in december? Kerstkransjes? Chocoladeletters? Gluhwein of oliebollen? Schrap al het eten en het lekkers. Jouw grootste vijand is de manier waarop jij met dit alles omgaat: de stress en de schuldgevoelens rondom het lekkere eten, de verhalen die je jezelf vertelt en het oordeel dat je over jezelf velt. In deze aflevering van Afvallen met Liefde voor je Lijf vertel ik je hoe je deze ‘boosdoener' onschadelijk maakt, zodat jij liefdevolle keuzes kunt maken voor jezelf en je lijf. Deze podcast gaat over afvallen en gezond leven vanuit je brein. De meeste mensen benaderen afvallen vanuit voeding en beweging, maar het belangrijkste deel: jouw mindset, wordt vergeten. Niet alleen hoe je over jezelf denkt, maar ook hoe een brein werkt, hoe gewoontes werken en wat jij van binnen kunt veranderen om van buiten te worden wie je graag wilt zijn. Let op: Ik ben geen therapeut. Als jij professionele hulp nodig hebt, zoek die dan. Wil je een coaching call bij me boeken?

With the holiday season rapidly approaching in a pandemic year where most of us cannot spend time with friends and family, the biddies decided to share some holiday drinking traditions. Mulled wine has a long history of existing either to make bad wine taste better or serve the body as a type of medicine. However, many countries around the world have adopted this beverage as a holiday drink to warm you up as we bunker down in colder weather.

A long weekend in Budapest and a reunion with a new friend are some of whats covered in todays #patchat for 12/10/19. In addition I discuss my frustration with having to make plans to leave Berlin, and my maiden voyage with the delight beverage gluhwein.

Okres przedświąteczny dla wielu osób nie jest zbyt atrakcyjnym terminem na podróżowanie. Zimno, ciemno, nieprzyjemnie – tak często wyobrażamy sobie grudniowe wojaże.

"O'zapft is!" - Traditional Opening of Oktoberfest Last Saturday, September 21st, marked the first day of the 2019 Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. In honor of this historic and exciting volksfest, this week on the Main Entrance FastCast we’ll be looking at attractions and designs from Deutschland. So, grab your morning strudel, and let’s have a quick look at how location-based entertainment can actually be a way to honor and embrace a people or culture. Cultural festivals, what the Germans would call Volksfests, are social gatherings that celebrate traditional folk crafts and folk music. In many places and events this often includes cultural foods and beverages, commonly of the alcoholic variety. Now, in the time we have, we definitely can’t go over all of them, so let’s take a quick look at a handful of these volksfeste around Germany, and what they have to offer. With our quote today, it’d be easy to start with the famous Oktoberfest in Munich, but hang tight, we’ll be revisiting the Theresienwiese later on this week. Let’s start in the city of Hamburg, home to the Hamburger Dom. The Dom, named for the former city cathedral, is actually the biggest public festival in Northern Germany, and unlike Oktoberfest, it’s held three times a year, in the Spring, Fall, and Winter. The name of this festival comes from the use of the old Hamburg cathedral as a winter shelter for merchants, artisans and entertainers. At the beginning of the 19th Century the old cathedral was demolished, sending these folks around the city until they found a new home in the Heiligengeistfeld area. Like Oktoberfest, the stars of the Dom are the food, crafts, and the rides! Here you can enjoy sauerkraut, currywurst, and the famous Schmalzkuchen, fried pastry made from yeast dough and topped with sugar. Next, let’s head over to Stuttgart, the home of the Cannstatter Volksfest, also known as the Stuttgart Beer Festival. Spanning three weekends from the end of September to early October, this festival originally began in 1817 due to a very poor harvest caused by a volcanic eruption a world away. Thanks to help from the Russian Czar, many people in Germany were saved from starvation, and in recognition of this, the festival was created to celebrate the harvest. Over time, this even evolved from an agricultural festival into a celebration of the people. As a symbol of the harvest and thanksgiving, an enormous 23 meter tall pillar was constructed, which is decorated, fittingly, with fruit. Finally, let's head deeper into winter and talk about a famous event in Germany that has been transplanted across the globe, the Christkindlmarkt or Christmas Market. These are street markets built to celebrate the Christmas holiday in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. While these festivals are quite prolific in the region, the markets in Dortmund and Cologne see attendance in the millions! Among the wonderful sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of these markets are the Nussknacker, or nutcrackers, traditional Christmas cookies called Lebkuchen, and, my personal favorite, Gluhwein, a hot mulled wine to keep you warm on chilly winter nights. These festivals are certainly purveyors of good cheer, as well as preserving the traditions and cultures of their respective hometowns. Nowadays, it’s not uncommon to see Christkindlmarkts in the United States, United Kingdom, and Scandinavia. There’s even a small version built annually at Epcot at Walt Disney World. Volksfeste can be an incredible way to fully immerse yourself in traditional German culture. We barely scratched the surface of events that you can find around Germany, so if you plan to head to Deutschland, make sure to grab a travel guide or hop on Google and see to it that you hit at least one of these wonderful get-togethers!

The holiday season is upon us, and what's more festive than glühwein? Join Emily and Guen in Guen's kitchen as they cook up a classic Red mulled wine and a white Mosel style mulled wine for the first time. Will they succeed? Lucas joins for a schluck (taste) and helps taste test glühwein extras with his usual Austrian directness.

Following the terrible Christmas market truck incident at Breitscheidplatz, all other markets were told to keep their music down. Does staying quiet actually achieve anything? We're going to carry on enjoying Gluhwein rather than respond with fear. What's changing in Berlin in 2017? We'll get an extra public holiday, pay more for public transport, and get a small raise in hourly rates - unless you're a freelancer. Looking for something to do over the Christmas break? Why not volunteer at a refugee shelter. Find one near you at www.volunteer-planner.org. Thanks for listening to Radio Spaetkauf in 2016! This episode is presented by Joel Dullroy and Maisie Hitchcock, and is brought to you by RadioEins, Berlin's public broadcaster.

The smell of Gluhwein & freshly baked mince pies will fill the air on Horne Rd in Catterick Garrison on December 3rd. The welfare hub is getting into the festive spirit with a Christmas craft fayre. The event has been organised jointly by the Royal Dragoon Guards, 4 SCOTS & ITC. Sgt Kenny Smith from 4 SCOTS tells Chris Kaye what is line-up.

Christmas is over and the presents are put away, but for many of us, the holiday season isn’t quite finished yet. There’s still New Year’s and a spate of winter parties to attend. If you happen to be hosting a celebration, we’ve got a time-tested, easy mid-winter fix for your bar: Hot, mulled, alcoholic drinks.  Not only do beverages like gløgg, glühwein, and wassail warm you up, they also make your entire home smell wonderful, said Rosie Schaap, the “Drink” columnist for The New York Times Magazine and the author of Drinking With Men. She added that hot drinks can’t be quaffed as quickly as cool cocktails. “So it kind of, you know, keeps people a little steadier, takes a little longer,” she said. “You can luxuriate over your glass of wassail or gløgg or gluhwein.” These traditional beverages are so popular that they can also be the source of contention. “I’ve heard many a bar argument between a Norwegian American and a Swedish American over [the origins of gløgg],” Scaap said. “Like most of these kinds of warm winter beverages, it’s essentially a folk tradition, so anyone who claims to have the authoritative gløgg recipe is loaded with hubris, I would say.” Whether your family recipe insists on dried bitter orange peel over the addition of fresh orange, there are three constants when it comes to gløgg — red wine, orange, and cardamom. “To me, it’s that spice that really distinguishes gløgg from other mulled drinks,” Schaap said. “And then there are countless variables. You can make it stronger with vodka or aquavit or brandy. You could add cloves, cinnamon, allspice, other kinds of spices. You could garnish with raisins and almonds.” The recipe Schaap received from her Swedish friend Annika originated with a handful of this or a small handful of that. (Find it here in a more precise form.) She cautions to start small and then add more as needed. Gluhwein — which could easily be called German or Austrian — does not generally include cardamom. Schaap also noted that she’d once seen glühwein made with white wine, which is never the case with gløgg. Otherwise, both follow the same principles of mulled wine: heat wine and add spices. The application of heat may lead some of the alcohol to evaporate, but not much. Slow cookers make handy, safe vessels for keeping drinks hot. After all, an open flame at a raucous party could equal trouble. English wassail is a hot, boozy beverage of a different nature. Instead of wine, it uses cider — either hard cider or the nonalcoholic variety. Again, spices and heat lend it a holiday flair. Schaap explained that its likely wassail originated in the Southwest of England, around Dorset or Somerset, in orchard country. Villagers would go “wassailing” to the orchards to try and invoke a good harvest. Schaap said the first time she tried wassail was at The Drink in Williamsburg, and she recommend this recipe from Jenn Dowds of The Churchill. Also, here’s her recipes for gløgg and glühwein. Annika’s gløgg Glühwein by chef Kurt Gutenbrunner of Blaue Gans and Café Sabarsky WassailFrom Jenn Dowds, The ChurchillBy Rosie Schaap Yield: About 12 servings 5 to 6 small to medium honey crisp (or Fuji or McIntosh) apples, cored 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 2 cups Madeira 2 bottles (22.4 ounces) London Pride Ale 4 bottles (48 ounces) Strongbow English Cider 1 cup apple cider 12 whole cloves 12 whole allspice berries 2 cinnamon sticks, 2 inches long 2 strips orange peel, 2 inches long 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place apples in a 9-by-9-inch glass baking dish. Spoon light and dark brown sugar into center of each apple, dividing sugar evenly among them. Pour 1 cup water into bottom of dish and bake until tender, about 1 hour. 2. Meanwhile, pour Madeira, ale and English and apple ciders into a large slow cooker or heavy pot. Place cloves, allspice, cinnamon and orange peel into cheesecloth, tie shut with kitchen twine and add to slow cooker or pot along with ginger and nutmeg. Set slow cooker to medium, or place pot over low heat. Gently simmer for about 1 hour, while apples bake, or longer if desired. 3. Add liquid from the baking dish and stir to combine. Using tongs, transfer apples into slow cooker or pot to garnish. Reduce heat. Ladle hot wassail into heatproof cups to serve.
