District does a meeting with this theme. Our oldest will be a guest-speaker, doing a report about our forest. Global warming, years of draught, new parasites from southern europe ...  causes forest dying-Many forest look like these nowadays.

Luckily our forest is at a hill were clouds climb and release water. Also a mixed forest of different sorts and ages- so we have luck so far. Our vintage glider is often used for control flights and we found no big changes so far. Forest ants, 5 different woodpeckers - No mass appearance of bark beetle so far.

A single chip sold for 10€ in a coffin like package. Forbidden in my state since the chilli content varied too much and several people served it to friends without the gloves in the package. Stupid One Chip Challenge. Told the twins it is more brave to say no to such stupidity than jumping from the bridge with them.

ghost pepper -> Quittensenf (quince mustard)

We have mustard plants, we have grandma's mill made from two stone rings so we can make our own special mustards. Normally we use one rainy afternoon in mid autumn. It is for our recipes and as birthday gift. Chilli just activates pain nerves, mustard activates the nerves for aroma. Guess what, I prefer a good mustard over chilli.

Total opposite here. Chilli don't grow in my area outside glasshouses. Mustard plants can be used as green manure. So we have more than enough seeds for making mustard.

Japanese Karashi is made from just sharp brown mustard seeds.

Our is fine milled brown and rough milled yellow seeds, fruit wine, fruit vinegar and minced fruits. Adding a fruit aroma to a Dijon mustard like base taste.

At Oktoberfest Weisswurst are eaten with a special sweet mustard.

 

Stewart -> x-mas

When I was young there were just 3 TV-programs- One always aired 'It's a Wonderful life' at afternoon of 24 decembre.

Santa Claus, x-mas? Many of my family including me have birthdays between 20dec and 2jan. So we got most presents at birthday and 6dec - Saint Nicholas- Day. The gifts at 6dec were put into the boots before the house door by Knecht Ruprecht.

fireplace -> smell

Our oven is integrated into the staircases. The hot air wents through a labyrinth. Small doors allow to dry fruits or quince bread. So we have a smell of fruits in wintertime.

There is a company building them for stone houses, see below. Ours is special, 250 years old old wood patchwork house under cultural heritage. The chimney is central in the builing and the entrance hall was used as stall and hay store in old times. I made the calculations, fire savety and pencil drawings, but it took half a year before it was finally allowed.
