Now it's time for sparklers. Pooja and Andie trying to keep these sticks lit.
Ooh, pretty!
Now for the bliegiessen. These traditional bits of molten lead are supposed to tell your fortune for the year.
Walter, Vania, Sabrina and Krissy (taking this so seriously!)
McMom, Simona, Michael looking on.
A finished shape. What is it? What does it mean?
A lot of finished pieces. "This means something."
Melting the bit of lead over a candle.
Now for something completely different: more fire. This is the very homemade feuerzangenbowle. Molten sugar should come into the bowl of mulled wine.
You may be able to see the blue flame, caused by ignition of rum pouring over sugar. It has potential to be quite amazing, our effort reflected this was our first time. But it was lovely!
