Michelle’s Seasonal Tipple

Sunday December 10, 2017 by Michelle N. Starr

IMG_0801It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas which has got me in the mood for my favourite Christmas tipple! Lots of us enjoy a glass (or two) of mulled wine at this time of the year and are familiar with the European Glühwein. My favourite is the Finnish variant which they know as Glögi, a real winter warmer.

 

 

Ingredients

Blackcurrant juice with some sugar in it, 0,5 litre
Cinnamon bar, 2 to 4 pieces
Whole cloves, about 10
Cardamom seeds, about 8
Allspice whole, 4 pieces
Star anise, 1-2 pieces
Sugar, 10 to 12 cubes
Red wine, 0,5 litre
Vodka, 0,5 dl
Some raisin and almonds

Method

1. Heat up the juice with all the spices slowly to boil – give it 30 min or so.
2. Let it cool a little. Add some sugar to your liking and then add the red wine.
3. Reheat quickly. Add vodka just before serving.
4. Pour to glasses through a sieve, add raisins and almonds.

As an alternative try a white Glögi substituting apple juice for the blackcurrant.

This recipe was shared with me by some good friends in Finland. I’m sure many of you have your own favourite Christmas tipple, please share them with us in the comments section (or just leave me a bottle at the Legion 😘)

Season’s Greetings

Michelle

First Responders

Wednesday December 6, 2017 by Fiona H

Parwich First Responders held  their AGM on Monday 4 December. The chair reported that over the past year there had been 9 callouts. The role that the First Responders carry out supports the community until ambulance services can get to patients. Only 8 fully trained people are now in post so recruiting new people to undertake the First Responder role is crucial if we are to provide as much cover as possible for Parwich and its surrounding areas. 2 people have already expressed an interest in becoming a first Responder and we are investigating  when we could arrange  training. If we could get more people interested it would be good for everyone to train together.  In the New Year we are planning to have an information session so people can along and see what is involved.  Details will follow once this is arranged

Oil Price Going Higher

Friday December 1, 2017 by Steve J

imageUpdate for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club

 

 

Although crude hovers around $64 a barrel, we have seen a surge in pre-Christmas orders for heating oil, pushing rates even higher this week as demand puts pressure on supply.

With Christmas less than a month away and delivery times of two weeks, if you require a top up before Christmas, please order this weekend. Orders are subject to weather and supply conditions. Please do check your oil levels and ensure you have allowed plenty of time for delivery. Please can you also check the condition of your tank? We have seen an increase in suppliers refusing to deliver due to tanks with cracks or in poor condition. We do not want any members to have a cold Christmas. We also expect rates to rise further the closer we get to Christmas so please do not delay if you require oil!

We have secured a rate and our clubs group oil order terms for this weekend are as follows:

Rate: £0.4236 per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

Glamour Ball

Friday December 1, 2017 by Lynn C

Just wanted to say congratulations and thank you to Kirsty and her team for organising this spectacular Black Tie Ball in aid of Air Ambulance. The Hall was transformed into a dramatic, glittering atmospheric venue worthy of the occasion and The Ball attendees dressed up to match. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and served by her capable staff. The very ‘live’ band provided music that stirred most people into dancing. We had a great night raising money for a very worthy charity and hope to see it repeated again. Perhaps Kirsty will be able to post how much was raised when she has sorted everything out but meantime, thank you for a successful and enjoyable evening.

Have you seen our cat?

Thursday November 30, 2017 by Emma S

Update – Hamish McT has been found – his splendid tail was tightly wrapped around  brambles in the field behind Lee and Sam’s.  He was a bit shaky and needs to go to the vets shortly to have his tail checked over for a suspected break / injury. However, he can’t be too bad as he has eaten plenty and is now on the bed, fast asleep.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been in touch, looked for him and offered to help – we really appreciate it – he is a very lucky cat (and we feel so very lucky too)! And to Shaun M for releasing him from the briars!
