I hear Lydia has an excellent Sangria recipe. Please, Lydia, inform us. I made some recentrly, and it just tasted like the plastic cup I was carrying it around in. yuck.
Help!

World Cup!!!!

i feel like everyone around me all of a sudden has embraced the world cup like never before. i am going with the flow. last weekend I drank liters of beer and ate pretzel rolls and cheered for germany and spoke to an old german couple that recently moved to maryland at a lovely little biergarten haus. i just like the way that phrase looks. biergarten haus. silly. the benches are all imported from lithuania? why? i don't know.

i'll be there bright and early this weekend as well. mack. germany v. argentina @ 10 AM EST.
