A trip to the Christmas market

[wiseheart]

Since we've finished decorating the cookies last night (literally), Mum and I decided to go to the Christmas market today. It's the same one espresso_addict, Mr. EA and I went almost exactly a year ago. It was freezing cold, but the market was so crowded you could barely make any headway. At least it lessened the freezing factor a bit.

Stuff was outrageously expensive, too, but we drank mulled wine and ate chimney cake nonetheless. Chimney cake is the food of the gods - scroll down the Wikipedia page and click on the link to YouTube to see how it's made.* Alas, we can't make it at home, so we have to buy it whenever we can - which, disregarding what Wikipedia states, isn't such a frequent occasion. So we bought it today, regardless of the horrid price.

Mum and I are a bit odd when it comes to money. We're very careful with it, usually buy stuff when it's on sale, because, frankly, we don't have so much of it, and we need to turn around the coin so that we'd be able to go on holiday in the summer. But sometimes we spontaneously decide that we need a treat, and then we treat ourselves, no matter what it cost. Like today. We froze solid, but we had great fun, and we didn't regret the trip - even though next Sunday we're going on another trip, this time to the Christmas market in Vienna, with five of my colleagues. I hope the weather will coopearate - the Christmas markets of Vienna are beautiful, too.

*Link fixed. I actually forgot one quotation mark. But it should work now.

That looks like a fabulous cake indeed! I am glad you and your Mum enjoyed it even if it was outrageously expensive. The problem with your link to Wikipedia seems to be that there is an extra quotation mark at the end of the web address. This address works fine (for me at least) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%BCrt%C5%91skal%C3%A1cs .<\small>

I would normally erase this entry and fix my html-coding error, but I think in the circumstances I will leave it as it is; I wasn't trying to nit-pick your linking, so I hope my comment doesn't sound like I am, but rather help out because I know I make mistakes myself with these sorts of things.

Oh, don't worry about that! I'll try to fix the code, but even if I don't manage to do so, it's not such an important thing. Thanks for the suggestion.
