Because the sun was out we decided to take a walk around the strip. We stopped by at a sweets Shop to the delight of the kids and saw the fountains in front of the Bellagio.
There was still a lot of scaffolding up from the car race the weekend before so we had to cross the street or bypass through Casinos to get where we wanted to go.
In the early afternoon we headed to our friends’ House for Thanksgiving dinner which was excellent as always.
We finished the evening with a Feuerzangenbowle. It’s basically mulled wine with a bit of extra alcohol and sugar. You have to have this special tong which holds a sugar cone. You soak it with rum (at least 54%) and light it on fire so that the caramelized sugar drips in the warm punch. I found this recipe in English if you want to have a closer look. It also has all the links to the ingredients you need. It’s tasty but I haven’t had any this time since I was the designated driver. Funnily enough the sugar cone was eyed with great interest during the security checks at the airport. It was always passed the drug and explosive tests since it is really just sugar. You can also get it here but is much cheaper in Germany. Would you give this a try?
Home here and there 
Wow, that wine sounds… insanely good. I would try it! Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving.

This one was brought in from Germany but I learned you can get them at Amazon, too.

I bet the air port people were very suspicious of a white crystal cone. Ha. I want to see the faces.
I am not much a fan of Feuerzangenbowle but the happenings are preparations/serving is fun to watch.

They were very suspicious and they got pulled out every single time on the trip. Made for a good story to tell…
