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:
"Until one feels the spirit of Christmas, there is no Christmas. All else is outward display-so much tinsel and decorations. For it isn't the holly, it isn't the snow. It isn't the tree not the firelight's glow. It's the warmth that comes to the hearts of men when the Christmas spirit returns again." -- Anonymous
She says her evening prayer.... Something to do with mulled wine raining down?

Paul saves the day... and Kathy!
