It's a bit of a local blog entry today as I promised I would big up the village carol service which takes place this Friday night at the Church. I am working that night so won't be going, but I am calling all Trelawnyd folk to make the effort on these cold dark night and attend.
The congregation will be using our slow cooker to keep the mulled wine warm ,
I have already been reminded to make sure there is no remnants of chilli con carne on the inside of it! ...as there was last year!
Everyone's a critic!
I wish I could be there John, although it would be a but pointless if you wre going to be on duty.
ReplyDeleteI will go to the Xmas eve service pat!
DeleteThere's a Czech guy in Vienna who brews a range of 7 beers in his pub which is called appropriately the Seven Stars, (Sieben Stern Brauerei) and one of the beers actually contains chili. I've never tried it myself though.
ReplyDeleteI guess it can go with anything.l..chocolate is supposed to be good too
DeleteMaybe the carolers can have the chili option? Be good on a cold night.
ReplyDeleteAnd get EM all crying during sadder carols
DeleteWorking...again...save yourself a glass of mulled wine (or two!)
ReplyDeleteCarol must have been much loved if the village is to stage a concert in her memory at Christmastime. I find that bits of old meat add body to one's drinks.
ReplyDeleteYou nearly always add a detail which transforms a pedestrian item of information into a subtle insight into the human condition. (Or at least yours!).
ReplyDeleteVery kind of you mr philip
DeleteAw how I wish I was at the Carol Service. We miss this being in the boondocks. In SA these services are held early in the evening the church is packed and the outside temperature is 35 deg Celsius! I love the idea of mulled wine even with the remnants of chilli in it. (thus spake the vegetarian! LOL) xxx
ReplyDeleteIf we could all be there, the church would be filled to overflowing.
ReplyDeleteHey, you were just adding a bit of spice to the mulled wine!
ReplyDeleteHope you have an easier shift than the last one.
I hope so too......l
DeleteIf the wine is red, I see no problem with chili remnants. But, for the critics have a strainer at the ready.
ReplyDeleteWell mulled wine is supposed to be spicy is it not?
DeleteI wish I could be there.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Oh well, chili is considered good roughage, is it not? :)
ReplyDeleteChili flavored mulled wine! I feel a trend coming on!
ReplyDeleteWas there this year? Too bad you will miss it.
ReplyDeleteIf I lived closer, i'd go!
ReplyDeleteI agree. If I could go, I'd be there for you. Hope your night is an easy one, John.
ReplyDeleteRemnants of the chili in the mulled wine, oh ick. Just the idea! I would love to fly in from California to attend the services. Our church just announced a great idea, our Christmas eve service offering will all go to Turkey and our people there to help the refugees from Syria who are in Turkey.
ReplyDeleteSounds warm and cozy!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the

I've heard of mulled wine, but I don't know what it is. I'm tempted to Google it for a recipe and serve mulled wine on Christmas Eve.
ReplyDeleteLove,
