Blymire isn't giving a copy of those books to everyone who donates--people who donate just get entered in a drawing to win one of 7 copies of one of those books. And the best way to do mulled wine is German, but not simple Glühwein--it's the Feuerzangenbowle, which is Glühwein in a hotpot, over which you suspend a cone of sugar that has been soaked in high-proof rum, and which you flambé and then douse with more flaming rum, so that the sugar caramelizes and melts into the wine along with the rum, and good times are had all around until your drunken German houseguests accidentally spill the flaming rum and set your coffee table on fire. Not that I would know anything about that.

Japanese market in DC? well, it's about dang time! no more schlepping to Daruma and dragging back pounds of soba and gallons of men-tsuyu. yeah! this is the best thing to happen today. my friend losing a bet (that the Pats would do well w/o Brady- ha!) and having to drink girly-drinks all night long will be the next best thing to happen tonight. word.

thanks for the info on the new japanese market. i will have to go there soon. however, i am guessing i will still go to daruma for tasty meals on the cheap..unless this market magically has a small kitchen in the back too?
