    Sounds terrific, Ingunn. ‘Can’t wait to try it.

    I found this recent article in the New York Times in case anyone is interested in learning more about glogg. They have a recipe in the second link.

    Ingunn, I was thinking of bringing some glogg, but if you have that covered, then I can bring something else. Since I can’t leave work early, mine would not be freshly simmered and warming it up would also be a little difficult.

    That was so much fun. Why can’t we do this every week? :)

    Great time – weather cooperated and the snow was surprisingly powdery (although not super deep). A few pics here – http://www.flickr.com/photos/8246712@N03/sets/72157628457672919/with/6526805639/
