Saint Nicholas Day (Mikuláš)

How did you enjoy yesterday - The charming tradition of St. Nicholas falls on the eve of St. Nicholas Day, December 5th. If you find yourself walking the streets on that evening, you may run into a group of strange characters: St. Nicholas (Mikuláš), the Angel (anděl) who represents the Good, and the Devil (čert) representing the Evil. All wear costumes. Mikuláš looks a bit like Santa Claus whose origin was supposedly inspired by St. Nicholas.
All three characters walk the streets, stopping children and asking them if they were good in the past year. Most kids say yes and sing a song or recite a short poem. They are then rewarded with sweets, candy or other treats, which are handed out by the Angel. Bad kids would be put in the Devil's sack and taken to hell, or would only get a sack of potatoes or coal instead of candy - of course it does not really happen! The eve of St. Nicholas is especially fun in Prague. Parents bring their children to the Old Town Square where you can see the tradition in full swing roughly between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. In small towns and villages, the three characters visit people's homes. The evening of December 5 is therefore an exciting (and scary) time for children!
Children also receive St. Nicholas presents from their parents and relatives. The gift, e.g. sweets and chocolates, can be put into a stocking and hidden somewhere in the child's room.
The St. Nicholas tradition is supposedly based on a 4th century Greek bishop named Nicholas who is said to have left a gift of money on the windowsill of three poor girls to enable them to get married.

Granitas - Desserts For a Hot Summer's Day

HONEYDEW GRANITA

Makes about 1-1/2 quarts

4-1/2 cups honeydew melon juice or watermelon juice (bought already squeezed, or made by pureeing fresh fruit and then straining it)

1/4 cup sugar, plus more as needed

Fresh lemon juice, to taste

1/4 cup Midori liqueur

Put the melon juice in a mixing bowl. Stir in the 1/4 cup sugar until dissolved. Taste and, if necessary, stir in a little extra sugar to get a good, sweet flavor; then, stir in a little lemon juice to taste. Stir in the Midori liqueur.

Pour the mixture into 1 or 2 metal baking pans, as needed, to achieve a depth of 1/4 inch. Place in the freezer.

After 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your freezer and the consistency of the mixture, check to see if a layer of ice has formed on the surface. When it does, scrape with the tines of a table fork to break up the ice and distribute it evenly in the mixture. Return the pans to the freezer. Continue this process at the same regular interval until the granita is completely frozen into small crystals about the size of sequins.

Before serving, rescrape the granita mixture to loosen up the crystals. With an ice cream scoop or large spoon, scoop into child serving glasses or dishes.

MINT TEA GRANITA

Makes about 1-1/2 quarts

2 cups sugar

1 cup water

3 cups strong brewed mint tea

2 sprigs fresh mint, plus more for garnish (2-3 by taste)

Fresh lemon juice

In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer just until the sugar has dissolved completely, stopping before the syrup changes color. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.

Put the brewed mint tea in a nonreactive bowl or pitcher. Add the fresh mint sprigs, crushing them lightly in your hand, and leave them to steep in the tea for 30 minutes.

Remove and discard the mint sprigs. Stir in the cooled sugar syrup, which will make a mixture that tastes very sweet. Stir in a little lemon juice to taste, just until you can taste the mint tea flavor and the mixture doesn't taste quite as sweet.

Pour the mixture into 1 or 2 metal baking pans, as needed, to achieve a depth of 1/4 inch. Place in the freezer.

After 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your freezer and the consistency of the mixture, check to see if a layer of ice has formed on the surface. When it does, scrape with the tines of a table fork to break up the ice and distribute it evenly in the mixture. Return the pans to the freezer. Continue this process at the same regular interval until the granita is completely frozen into small crystals about the size of sequins.

Before serving, rescrape the granita mixture to loosen up the crystals. With an ice cream scoop or large spoon, scoop into child serving glasses or dishes. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.

Absinthe Coctail in Café de Paris

Refresh yourself and come to our Café de Paris to enjoy Absinthe Coctail.

I n 2007, the U.S. government reversed its 95-year-old policy, once again allowing the sale of liquor products labeled absinthe into the country. Since then a slew of old and new brands hailing from France, Switzerland, Austria, and America have hit the market. All of them have less than ten parts-per-million thujone, the compound in wormwood that's dangerous in high doses but considered safe (and certainly nonhallucinogenic) at these small levels.
Many people do not realize that absinthe tastes like anise, fennel, or licorice, depending on your frame of reference. But bartenders do. They've been using it (and substitutes like Pernod and Herbsainte) in cocktails for more than a hundred years.

Happy Valentine´s Day to All!

Saint Valentine's Day, commonly shortened to Valentine's Day, is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimatecompanions. The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs, Saint Valentine, and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. It was deleted from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI, but its religious observance is still permitted. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greetings cards (known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.
