The Thedens Tell US About The "Dessert Stomach" (Page Four)
Hans and Kerstin introduced us to a German discovery called "Dessert Stomach". Normally after the Feuerzangenbowle mulled wine consumption slows down, guests fell full! But alas, the kitchen is full of dessert and we must take action! The "Dessert Stomach" worked like magic with everyone returning to the kitchen for their caloric binge!
One has booze in it.... and so does the other!
Thank Kerstin for such a wonderful evening!
We kept Hans away from the cake with his never empty bottle*
* Ask Hans about the cake he brought to the Newport Harbor Elks Lodge
on a Sunday afternoon that was so full of liquor it needed toothpicks to keep the layers from sliding off!
and required DO NOT SMOKE WITHIN 50 FEET signs on all four sides!
Volunteers step right up.... Such a "Cut Up"
"Out of my way.... Feets don't fail me now!"
You have to believe a nurse.... They always tell the truth
"Pass the chopsticks, please"
"Is that really true?"
Gary will assist Marion after the dessert coma sets in
"That is exactly 2,345,432,222.5 calories"
John is fearless... Good name for a song!
"Let it pour... Let it pour... Let it pour"
OMG... They are whispering to each other...
Quotation To Remember:
"At this festive season of the year, Mr Scrooge," said the gentleman, taking up a pen, "it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time. ... We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices." -- Charles Dickens (A Christmas Carol)
"Hey there.... How about me?"
"Blimy, this looks terrific!"
"I will just sneak this out so Brian will not know!"

The buzzards surround the cake...again!
Great fun was had by all!
Love that special smile....
Quotation To Remember:
Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space. ~Dave Barry
She says her evening prayer.... Something to do with mulled wine raining down?
Kathy really enjoyed the trip!
Watch out for the first step... It will get you!
Paul saves the day... and Kathy!
Paul either gets a "high five" or Sue waves Kathy and Ed goodbye
Watch out for these two oldies but goodies!
Archie hates to see everybody go!
