World class Tennis in CA – 2013 BNP PARIBAS Open in Indian Wells

February 21, 2013 by Cornelia Leave a Comment

Roger Federer at BNP Paribas Open 2012

Ready for some Tennis?

Living in California offers so many great possibilities that one can surely feel spoiled. Not only do we have the ocean and snowy mountains right in our vicinity, but also world class tennis is part of California living.   Every year in spring the BNP PARIBAS Open attracts thousands of tennis enthusiasts to watch the world’s best in tennis compete right here in Indian Wells, CA, just a two-hours drive away from L.A.!

On March 4-17, 2013 it’s time again for one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world. For a couple of weeks world class tennis will make its home at the beautiful Indian Wells Tennis Garden.   Plan ahead and get ready for some suspenseful matches watching Federer, Djokovic, Azarenka and Sharapova and so many other world ranked players compete for the title!

Fun Facts about BNP PARIBAS Open at Indian Wells:

Last year more than 370,000 fans passed through the gates, making it the most attended tennis tournament in the world behind the four Grand Slams.

The seating capacity of the Stadium Court at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden (16,100) is the second largest of any tennis-only stadium on either Tour. Only the U.S. Open’s Arthur Ashe Stadium (22,500) is larger.

Hawkeye replay technology was installed on all match courts for the 2011 event. To this day, the BNP Paribas Open remains the only tournament in the world, including the four grand slams, to have the line call challenge system on every match court.

In 2011, the BNP Paribas Open became the first non-Grand Slam tennis tournament to offer $1 million to its singles champions, increasing total prize money to more than $11 million.

In 2012, Roger Federer became the only four-time men’s champion of the BNP Paribas Open. His previous titles came consecutively in 2004, 2005 and 2006, the only player to win three consecutive times.

Annually, the men’s event is the first of the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events played on the ATP schedule. The other eight premier events are held in Miami, Monte Carlo, Rome, Madrid, Montreal/Toronto, Cincinnati, Shanghai and Paris.

The women’s event is one of only four Premier Mandatory Events on the WTA. The others are Miami, Madrid and Beijing

Happy New Year with a ‘Feuerzangenbowle’ – German Party Punch with Sugar Hat

December 31, 2012 by Cornelia Leave a Comment

Heinz Rühmann and the Feuerzangenbowle – do you remember this classic?

Die Feuerzangenbowle
Die Feuerzangenbowle (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

For New Year’s Eve or “Silvester” as we call it in Germany almost every family has a unique culinary tradition to ring in the new year.  For many it is serving a zesty Gulasch at the Silvester Party while counting the hours to midnight, for others it is inviting family and friends to a delicious and fun Raclette evening or Fondue. One of these many traditions is the “Feuerzangenbowle”.

Perhaps this delicious party punch finds its way to become also one of your traditions in the years to come. For the preparation just follow the recipe below that our guest author Gabriele Utz is sharing with us, … and for everyone who hasn’t seen or wants to see Heinz Rühmann in his famous role again, enjoy the whole movie “Die Feuerzangenbowle” below at the end of the post.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Feuerzangenbowle – German Party Punch with Sugar Hat (by Gabriele Utz, MyBestGermanRecipes.com)

Feuerzangenbowle is a special German party attraction especially for New Years Eve or in the winter time before Christmas (Adventszeit). You can find the hot spiced wine on German Christmas markets. The biggest Feuerzangenbowle was served in 2005 in Munich. 9.000 liter punch had been mixed and heated in a huge copper kettle with a diameter of 2.5 meter and served to the visitors of the market. Near the Nuernberg Christmas Market you can find a similar kettle. The hot party drink became popular in the German movie “Die Feuerzangenbowle” with Heinz Ruehmann from 1944.

To make the hot beverage you need to have a special Feuerzangenbowle set – Find it here: http://store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/clink?gdcom+cbJvSj+feuerzangeset.html

Ingredients for ‘Feuerzangenbowle’ – serves 8

3 bottles red wine
1 small sugar hat – Find it here: http://store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/clink?gdcom+cbJvSj+norzuc.html
1 piece orange peel
1 bottle golden rum
1 piece lemon peel
at least 108 proof
5 cloves
 
Directions Feuerzangenbowle
  1. Put orange peel, lemon peel and cloves into a tea filter bag, tie shut with white yarn. Hang into a copper kettle, pour in wine.
  2. Heat up close to boiling point, but make sure it never gets to boil. Put the kettle in the middle of your table so all your guests can watch the ceremony.
  3. You normally use a “Feuerzange”, but as I suspect this might be hard to get, you can also use a grid from your barbecue set – especially the ones you normally use to barbecue herrings in should work pretty well. The point is that you should be able to put the sugar hat on it (lying on its side) and place the whole thing safely over the kettle.
  4. Once you’ve got that far, you’re ready for the ceremony.First, dim your lights. Then pour some rum onto the sugar hat, best using a ladle, and light it (this is why the rum has to be at least 108 proof). Keep the flames burning by ladling more rum on the sugar hat, until the sugar has completely melted and dripped into the wine.
  5. Remove the “Feuerzange” and the bag with the spices. Serve in heat-proof glasses.
  6. Variation: Many people like to add sugar and/or a little orange juice (preferably freshly pressed).

Rum-Balls or Rumkugeln – A Christmas Season Favorite

December 9, 2012 by Cornelia 1 Comment

RäuchermännchenToday for the second Advent Sunday we have another delicious recipe waiting for you! Rumkugeln or rum-balls are a special treat that can’t be missing at Christmas time. Please enjoy the following recipe by our guest author Gabriele Utz from MyBestGermanRecipes.

rumballs-germanrecipes 
Rum Balls or Rumkugeln

Rum balls or in German “Rumkugeln” are almost mandatory for Christmas but, in my opinion, they taste awesome throughout the whole year. The rumballs are made after a traditional Austrian recipe from the good old times, when the emperor Franz Josef used to reign Germany and Austria.  In fact you don’t even have to bake them in the oven. Mix all ingredients per instructions together and you will get an unforgettable chocolate delight for Christmas and the Holidays.

Ingredients (30 pieces)
Dark dough
100 g powdered sugar
100 g almonds ground
100 g semi-sweet baking chocolate grated
1 egg white
some rum
cocoa unsweetened

Light dough
1 hard boiled egg yolk
30 g butter
1 vanilla bean
1 tbsp powdered sugar

Baking Instructions
– For the dark dough mix all ingredients thoroughly.
– For the light dough press the egg yolk through a sieve and mix it with the remaining ingredients; keep it cold.
– Make balls out of the dark dough of walnut size; the light dough should have the size of a cherry pit (so quite small).
– Place in each dark ball one light one; take the ball slightly apart and fill in the smaller one; then close it. Place them into little matching cups.
– Keep them for 30 minutes in the fridge.
– Roll the balls in the cocoa powder and place them in small paper cups.

The First Advent Sunday is today and Christmas season has officially started. Traditionally the four weeks of Advent are represented by four candles on an Advent wreath. The first one will get lit today and then it’s only four more weeks until Christmas eve is here!

Christmas cookies are a must for this festive holiday season. So we thought of starting you out with a scrumptious recipe for traditional “Peffernüsse” by our guest author Gabriele Utz of MyBestGermanRecipes.

Give it a try and fill your home with the sweet scents of gingerbread spices!

.

This is an authentic German Pfeffernusse recipe as you would find in Germany. German Pfeffernusse are traditional Christmas cookies and very popular. You can find them in any bakery or supermarket in Germany. Get some German tradition into your home with this recipe. The ingredient Hirschhornsalz, in English Hartshorn or Ammonium Carbonate, is a traditional Gingerbread (Lebkuchen) ingredient since hundreds of years and was originally taken from deer’s antlers. It makes the dough raise but not in height, it makes it wider. Happy Baking!

Beer Bottle Shortage Occurs in Munich Less Than 2 Weeks Before Oktoberfest

September 10, 2012 by Cornelia Leave a Comment

Munich has experienced an unusually warm summer this year, and with the hot temperatures came an increase in beer consumption.  Although the increased sales are great for the breweries, there is a downside… a shortage of beer bottles and crates.  With the Munich Oktoberfest less than 2 weeks away, supermarkets are having a hard time filling the shelves and brewers are literally begging consumers to bring back their empty bottles.

Heiner Müller, manager of the Paulaner and Hacker-Pschorr brewery made a plea in Munich’s TZ newspaper saying ”Dear Munichers – bring back your crates.  We need our empties!”.  Even Hofbräu is feeling the pain with a shortage of tens of thousands of bottles.  Hofbräu spokesman Stefan Hempl warned that “at the moment we could have a situation where we don’t have any dark beer for a few days.”

Oktoberfest season is usually one of the best times of the year for Germany’s many breweries, so it makes sense that they would begin panicking.  In the case of Hofbräu, they are telling retailers that they will only fill orders when their empties are returned.  While Germany has made it easy for consumers to recycle their used bottles, it often doesn’t help those who are enjoying a nice cold one on the go during the summer months.

BMW Brings Its Premium DriveNow Service to the United States

August 29, 2012 by Cornelia Leave a Comment

Have you been wanting to drive a BMW around town without paying the premium price tag of buying one from your local BMW dealer?  If you are living in the San Francisco area, you finally have the chance now that BMW is bringing their premium DriveNow car sharing service to town.  70 BMW electric ActiveE cars will be available at 9 San Francisco locations by this September (many are actually available now) and ties in with the companies ParkNow service that allows drivers to reserve a specific parking spot near their destination.

While BMW isn’t the first company in the United Starts to offer a car sharing service, what sets them apart from competitors such as ZipCar is the fact that you can pick up the car at one location and drop it off in another.  As an added bonus, users of the DriveNow program will receive the ParkNow service for free at the 14 nearby locations and will be also able to recharge the vehicle for free at any approved charging stations.

So how much does it cost to drive around in the electric ActiveE BMW?  To signup you need to pay a $39 activation fee which is common with all car sharing services, and then $12 for the first 30 minutes.  After 30 minutes, drivers pay 32 cents per minute of driving time and 13 cents per minute if the car is parked.  That comes to $21.60 for the first hour and $19.20 for each extra hour of driving.  To compare, driving a gas-powered BMW 328xi with the ZipCar service would cost $15.25 per hour.  BMW is obviously being very competitive with their pricing for what they are calling a premium service.

The price actually gets better if you plan to rent the car for an entire day.  For $109 using ZipCar, you can drive up to 180 miles before paying an extra 55 cents per mile.  DriveNow is actually cheaper for the same 180 mile daylong rental.  For $90 you get the same deal with all the added benefits of the parking and charging stations.

If you want to experience the luxury of driving around in a premium BMW, you now have a cheaper alternative if you live in San Francisco.  The service initially launched in Germany back in June 2011, and BMW is quickly expanding the service to cities around the world.  If the popularity is anything like that in Germany, you can expect to see BMW expanding to more US cities in the near future.
