Thanks. If you want to know my plan, we are off to a nearby hill statio
called yercaud about 100 odd kms from Bangalore. Nice cool place. Not tha
bangalore is not cool during new years but still nothing like driving dow
to your friendly neighbourhood hill station, dont you think? Anyways, I a
sure there would be lots of wine and whiskey, dont know about the turkey
and the lobsters but sure we would have some fiery fried chicken and fish
No time better to push the calories!

And to you, my friend! It's fortunate that I will celebrate Christmas
with friends nearby, so I can slip out briefly to light Chanukah candles
at home.

Haven't been to Yepoon for a few years.
Out on the islands is nicer(no mossies or very small ones(1 -3 cm))
Went to Whitsundays last year :-)
No holidays this year (well 22.12 to 3.1) due to product release end of feb
:-(
Emu export ? whats that ?
Usually drink James squire ,extra dry or coopers when drinking beer.
Been sticking with cider lately.
Whitsundays for those who have never heard of them.
http://www.queenslandholidays.com.au/whitsundays/index.cfm
http://www.whitsundaytourism.com/
Been to this look out and the scenery looks identical to this photo.
Lots of sea turtles through the whole Whitsunday region.

That's the miracle of the "import" label. When I lived in Germany (a
long time ago) Lowenbrau was a bottom-of-the-barrel more or less
dirty-water beer. Same idea, nobody in Germany drank the stuff.
It became an "import" here (brewed on the east coast somewhere, I
think) and was popular for a time. Havent' seen it for a while,
though.

Yeah, beer distribution is another of the mysteries of the universe. I
understand the idea that unpasteurized beer can only be shipped so
far, but that doesn't seem to explain a lot of what goes on or how
things wind up where they do.
I do like Spaten, though, especially Oktoberfest. It's one of the
few "Oktoberfest" labelled beers that I think is actually good. One
of the great things about travelling, IMHO, is discovering good local
beers in various places.

Marzipan seems to be made extra sugary for the US market. So, we make
our own for Christmas. Yum.
Merry Christmas, Joerg

I used to like marzipan when I was a kid. Now I find it too sweet. All
my life (as long as I had elders, anyway), for one reason or another I
was told , "Your taste will change." It's treasuring to hear that it's
the marzipan, not my taste, that's changed.

Some stores that sell Indian or Asian cuisine sell ground almond
"cookies" that are pretty close to marzipan and are not too sweet.
The ones I've had are cut into diamond shapes and have a silver 'foil'
(edible) on them.

I liked diazepam when I was younger. Now I find _it_ too sweet. :-)
