Oktoberfest will once again be held in Munich, Germany from September 20 thru October 5, 2008. For the excitement of eloquating the plethora of drinks and food available during the 16 days of the festival, learn German online.

Dishes and Food

The plentiful types of “wurst” (German sausages) are never far behind when you think of Oktoberfest. Beyond the usual frankfurter sausage, you will enjoy the bockwurst (chicken, turkey, lamb, pork with parsley, chives, white pepper, paprika, and salt), knackwurst (beef or pork with fresh garlic), and the bratwurst (veal, beef, and/or pork). To avoid making a fool of yourself, learn German to be able to speak the German monikers of these delicious sausages.

You’ll also get the opportunity to try the many kinds of spatzle, or noodles, the ideal accompaniment to beer. Common ingredients for the spatzle are various spices, flour, milk, eggs, and salt. Sample the cheese noodles with fried onions, the kasespatzle. These are so scrumptious that learning German, if only to show your appreciation, is a must.

German delicacies such as Apfelpfannenkuchen (apple pancakes), sauerkraut (fermented cabbage), and hendl (roasted chicken) need to also be tasted. And before you assume you need to not learn German for these, think again when you get to the beers.

Beers and Wines

More than anything else, Oktoberfest is famous for the plethora of beers and wines served in its 14 tents. You’ll be able to differentiate each one with a passable grasp of the language.

With high carbon dioxide levels, the sekt is made fizzier than most sparkling wines. Find the Deutscher Sekt if you know your wines well. Or, you can go for sekt formulated from Riesling, Pinot gris, and Pinot blanc grapes for that extremely special occassion.

German wheat beer can get you drunk. There are many kinds, like the traditional and unfiltered Hefeweizen, Kristallweizen (crystal wheat), Dunkelweizen (dark wheat), and Weizenstarkbier (strong wheat beer), to mention a few. You should learn German as quickly as you can, lest you confuse one with the other; the monikers hint at the alcohol strength - the darker the wheat component, the higher the alcohol levels, usually.

Most of all, get drunk on the marzen (pale lager), a specially-brewed Oktoberfestbier. There are numerous more kinds of wines and beers served on the Oktoberfest, with the Weinzelt tent serving as many as 15 wines!

Obviously, you do not have to study German to appreciate Oktoberfest. But if you want to make the most out of the experience, it is definitely a good start.

Of course, you need not study German to enjoy Oktoberfest, meet new people, dine on good cuisine, and drink bacchanalian pleasures. Still, it won’t hurt to learn German free to make yourself heard over the noisy joy that the Oktoberfest is.

Marianne D asked:


My husband and I have a mobile DJ company. I’m finding more and more that when people call us for a DJ for their wedding, sweet 16, 50th anniversary etc., their only concern is price and not expertise. I also don’t understand the need for some people to call or email and let us know that they hired another DJ for real cheap, after of course they went through a thorough consultation with us where I gave them an hour or two of my time not to mention all kinds of great suggestions which they were so thankful for at the time. A good DJ can make your event run smoothly and please all of your guests and that’s what you’re paying for. With these ‘bottom feeders’ you’re likely getting substandard equipment and a guy who’s just looking for beer money. Are there people who have regretted not hiring the DJ they felt was right for them because of the price? We are not sky high mind you. We start at $550 for 4 hours which is very reasonable.
Yes, $550 is just the begining as we offer many different options (slide shows, more time, more lights, etc.). However you get a lot for that base price and it’s not that much. Those of you hthat think anyone can play the music just don’t have a clue, I’m sorry.
And no this is not how we advertise… really now.

Wooderson asked:


I want to make some bloody beer or clamato and beer type drinks on 4th of July. Can someone post how to make a good one.

Please be more specific than “clamato juice and beer” — like how much of each? What other ingredients make it good? Worcesteshire? Hot sauce? Tobasco? Etc.

And is it generally made over ice? Or is it just cold based on the temperature of the beer?

Any links would be appreciated.

chewey asked:


I am a reformed alcoholic now of nine years of sobriety. Can somoeone of great understanding tell me why it is alot of foods these days have wine sauce in the ingredients? i.e. a frozen dinner I just ate had that in the ingredients as well as some other foods I have had in the past. Now, I still eat these foods and realize this in no way should question my years of sobriety now…but I just want to make sure that it is alright for a reformed alcoholic to eat foods with this in the ingredients?

Like I say, I am not going to be one to live in fear and realize that even if at times if the alcohol isn’t cooked out and evaported this still shouldn’t question my years of sobriety…and If i really were eating it for that intent I would go to the neares liquor store and pick up a case of beer…I just wanted to get other feelers out to what others may think? I would also probably go as far as eating it if I were in a restaurant if it were added without knowing..but who knows.
oh, I was also going to mention how weird it is after eating that frozen dinner with just by thinking about it I start to feel light headed in a way…but I think its physcological as far as that goes

Stephen Colbert for President asked:


I heard that modern beer is not nutritious, and that “original” beer was nutritious. So, whats different about it? I also heard that “original” beer is defined in Muslim law to have certain ingredients, and these were the more nutritious ones. Whats the validity of that story? Also, I thought Muslims couldn’t drink at all, now I know, no one is perfect but if it’s not allowed, then why would the law define how it is made properly.

ADHD in Adults

Alison Saunders asked:


Make sure that you cleanse your skin before using bare essentials makeup. It is worthwhile for you to know some of the bare essential information about what can invade your skin. Small infections called pustules which are provoked by staphylococci in the area where the hair protrudes through the skin which is a channel in which fat produced by salacious glands flow. Often these pustules are dilated and they contain impurities such as bacteria, fats, which are visible as black pimples. In the event of a Staphylococcus infection, firstly you will notice a red area around the poly sebaceous follicle and in the middle pustules will be formed.

Pimples

Pimples appear in the case of the acne, a disease which is a consequence of a lack of balance of internal secretion glands, of the gastro-intestinal and hepatic trouble, of the suprarenal insufficiency, of the hypothyroid, or trouble of the neurovegetative system. Because this disease has different causes, you should consult a skin specialist, in order to understand a diagnosis and to follow the right treatment. A great majority of the people who have pimples are tempted to burst them them immediately, without taking hygiene measures, which leads to the infection of the skin and to a breeding of the pimples.

In the case of the treatment recommended by the doctor, the hygiene of the face also has an important role. Don’t touch your face with dirty hands. Your face will be washed with warm water and bare essentials soap, twice a day, and in the evening you will wipe it with Bare Essentials Makeup alcoholic, degreasing lotions. In the local treatment you will use special bare essentials powders based on sulphur or zinc oxide. The black pimples must be regularly removed because they provoke pustules.

Freckles are small, round spots which appear especially in spring, when the sun shines more brightly. They are more frequently seen in the case of blond or red-haired people, more rarely in the case of dark-haired ones and their favorite areas are the face, the arms and the neck opening.

About Freckles

To stop the occurrence of freckles, you can use a Bare Essentials Makeup lotion, to wipe the face before going to bed, based on maillot water, Rose water and ammonium chloride. In order to treat the freckles you can use Bare Essentials Makeup oxidant substances which action more slowly, but they don’t harm the complexion, and which contain perhidrol, natrium per borates, magnesium peroxide, hydroquinone etc. For dry complexions there are recommended bare essentials creams based on lanolin. These creams must be applied on the clean complexion and they must be kept there during the night too.

In some cases Bare Essentials Makeup stores offer you more active substances like mercury and bismuth salt, which action by deactivating some skin pigments. These will be used under medical control or following the advice of a bare essential cosmetician, because they can produce irritations, therefore their long lasting use may be harmful.

You can also use Bare Essentials Makeup masks based on beer yeast, oxygenated water, egg white, lemon juice, yoghurt, acid uric milk and in general substances which make the face white and clean it. For those who present a predisposition for freckle occurrence, bare essentials cosmetics recommend lotions based on water, vinegar or lemon juice. They can be used in the case of dry complexion, but after a few hours you will apply a bare essentials makeup fat cream. The general rule is that no freckle treatment will be applied around the eyes, as that area will be greased with special bare essentials nourishing creams.

Dealing With Wrinkles

Wrinkles appear because the skin loses in time its suppleness and its normal smooth texture. Firstly you can expect to see vertical and horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, then wrinkles around our eyes. Following that you can expect to see some wrinkles around your mouth, these creases start from the nose and they are extended until the corners of your mouth, then appear little vertical wrinkles above the upper lip and your eyelids get wrinkles too. It sounds terrifying, doesn’t it? Wrinkles don’t necessarily appear only when we get older. They appear because of other factors: cold, heat, humidity, temperature variations. when we contract the muscles in our face too much they will appear.

Do Moods Affect Wrinkles?

Our moods and state of mind play a big part in the course and occurrence of wrinkles, emotions such as sadness worry and depression can have a detrimental effect on wrinkles. When we are in a good mood, blood flows more quickly and helps to nourish the skin and when we laugh 13 muscles are activated but when we are depressed 60 muscles are activated. Too much sun has a very adverse effect on our skin but if you must spend time in the sun make sure you use the special bare essentials makeup protective lotion which guards against sunburn. We can even protect our eyes by using bare essentials sunglasses, they are equipped with super high quality lenses.

To conclude , if you try Bare Essentials Makeup cosmetic products you won’t have pimples , or freckles , or wrinkles , only a shiny , fresh complexion

My ingredient list is 3 cups AP flour, 3/4c sugar, 1/2 t salt, 1 tbls baking powder, butter and of course, one 12oz beer. I usually bake it at 375 for 55 minutes. Its delicious, but tends to be very very dense and sometimes gummy. Can anyone suggest some changes?
