Gl�gi and Winter Tires

This is your annual reminder that there's now snow on the ground (at least in JKL) - so you should have snow tires on your vehicle.  It is mandatory to have them by December 1st or by the first snow fall.
The roads are slick too - so be careful.  (You may want to get some for your bike too if you can...)
If caught without winter tires on your car - there is a fine - how much, I don't know...but it can be pricey!

Now onto other pressing matters.
Red, White (well it's more like yellow/gold colored) or Blue Gl�gi....which do you prefer?
I prefer Valio brand over Marli...Marli is just a tad too sweet for my liking.

BLUEBERRY GL�GI?!
What is the world coming to?!


The burgundy colored carton is the "normal stuff"...the gold colored carton is the "white" Gl�gi (smoother and slightly nice taste)...
There's also sugar-free and vanilla-flavoured Gl�gi (I haven't tried the vanilla one yet)....
Then this year - Marli dug out the big guns and made a blueberry flavoured Gl�gi....

It's in English! (Blueberrish??

When I told some Finnish friends that I saw blueberry flavoured Gl�gi - there were some grunts of disapproval....but I think it tastes okay.  Not as fabulous as the red stuff...the white stuff is alright too....it doesn't quite scream "CHRISTMAS IS COMING!" but it's alright I suppose.  (My husband has yet to try it.)

Now as you can see in the bottom photo - Gl�gi is a drink that people drink hot.  They'll add raisins and almonds in the mug and stir it around and eat it with a spoon or drink all their Gl�gi and then eat the raisins and almonds...it's all up to you!  (Hubby prefers it without nuts or raisins).

I have a confession to make....*deep breath*
I like my gl�gi cold.  Not only that - but some times, as a "treat" for myself...um I like to add Sprite or 7-Up to my Gl�gi....like � and � of each...I suppose it's a "Sparkling Gl�gi"....

And all the Finns begin to shake their heads at that weird Canadian girl who drinks her Gl�gi cold and sometimes mixed with pop....
