dani - silli - tommy dinner: final judgement

based on a "esh glühweinstandl" meeting in last years december, dani, silli and me had a nice conversation about our cuisine, ending up in a variation of the famous "das perfekte promi-dinner" series on tv: "das dani - silli - tommy dinner".
making appointments not that easy, it took exactly a year to have all three of us cook for the others, including their partners of course. it was great fun and at least for me quite a challange to create a menu being worth of taking part in that competition.
U now might wanna know what i did:
cold italian antipasti as a starter
lamb-ginger-ravioli on brown butter
red-wine-roast with malfati
tiramisu

jsut wanna mention the personal highlights of the competitiors creations: silli made the best soup i ever had in my life: rieslingschaumsoup and dani's duck with the serviettenködel was the highlight of her dinner.

to sum it up: on the 13th of december we had the final judgement combined with a "mike-dinner", the master of all cooks. i dont wanna go in any details, it was just what we expected: the best of all - thats why he was not part of the competition ;) at least i had possibility to assist the master during preperation:



and in the end mike announced the results:
the winner is: silli, followed by myself and dani as a superb third place.

for 2009 the next competition is in preperation.

lebkuchenhaus (gingerbread house)

on the last weekend my wife eva and i have been very diligent and creative. we constructed a gingerbreadhouse. not just a simple one, we made some detailled plannes prior to cutting the elements and glueing them all together with evas patented heavy duty sugar glue ;)

check out the results in the following pics.

for all us windows user out there

so letz see what we can do...

surfin' around

hi ppl! today i am just surfing around in the web and i - do u have another chance? - also stopped by youtube.
when searching for the top austrian comedy movies "muttertag" and "indien" i occasionally found some very nice clips dealing with traffic.

so here we go:
why the hell do we need roundabouts if it could be so easy?
this one definitely is amazing

and i found one of my favorite cabaret scenes performed by lukas resetarits long time ago
