LAST DAY...

Today it's our last night here in Finland. It's a pity! Tomorrow at 12 o'clock we will take a plane to Barcelona, so this will be my last upload in blog. And I just want to thank you to all the people who made this amazing trip possible.

I want to thank Hakala family for take me in their home. They're very nice people!!

Then, I want to thank the finish students and teachers who made all they can for us and especially Soili for her English lessons.


And finally, I also want to thank all the Badalonès teachers who have worked for make this project true. Thank you so much!

PAU.

Glöggi

This morning, to warm our winter world, we drink a glass of hot red wine 'mulled' with spices, fruit and for good luck, an almond. In Finland and Sweden, mulled wine is called 'glöggi' and 'vinglögg', because, I dare to say, for the easy way it glug-glugs down our throats.

RECIPE for GLÖGGI
(Hot Red Mulled Wine)

Hands-on time: 20 minutes
Time to table: 45 minutes
Makes about 4-1/2 cups

• 1 bottle red wine
• 1-1/2 cups tawny port
• 3 – 4 thin slices of fresh ginger
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 6 cardamom seeds
• 1 orange, zest and juice
• 1 lemon, zest and juice
• 1/4 cup sugar

TO SERVE
• Currants
• Whole almonds

In a saucepan, bring all ingredients except sugar just to a boil but do not allow to boil. Stir in the sugar and stir until dissolved.
If there’s time, turn off the heat and let the flavors meld for a couple of hours before serving. Gloggi may be made 24 or 48 hours before serving, just cover and refrigerate. Before serving, return just to a boil but do not allow to boil. Remove the ginger and cinnamon. If you like (I don’t bother), strain out the spices and citrus zests.
To serve, drop a few currants and an almond into each glass and serve hot.

Thank you very much for helping us in this project.

Rovaniemi (1.1)

As Pau told yesterday, this weekend we were in Rovaniemi (Lapland). We joined this little trip, like we were children again. I show you two of the videos we did in Napapiri, the village of Santa Claus.

Today was our last day with Soili our english teacher, who has given us much grief goodbye to her, we hope to see her soon. In two days we will come back to Spain, and this experience has been short but very intense.

I encourage everyone to try this experience, I think it's something that we will never forget, we bring many good things and some not so good but all of this is part of  the experience.

This is my last blog update, so I wish you from Finland

ja Joulua Onnellista Uutta Hyvää Vuotto (Merry Christmas and a happy new year)
