Ok ok lets go youre probably a bit faster than me yes hes a traditional way and all skaters so i guess ill see you in half an hour sounds good. So i left. The biathlon is extremely popular in germany or at least lots of people like to watch the competitions on t. V. Welcome them how did the biathlon originate who came up with the idea of putting crosscountry skiing and rifle shooting together who thing is crosscountry skiing has always been popular in scandinavia even for hunting with a weapon thats how the idea was born to be born. In germany most by athletes are in the military that means they train under professional conditions the biafran isnt really a recreational sport but here in nestle vong those who are curious can give it a try. What are you my good heres what you do and you know downplay your goals to the society up as you can see theres already a bit of snow on our weapons. Ok the skiing really gets your heart pumping that makes it difficult to hold the rifle steady and hit the targets 50 metres away. So i go back. To back push and how long does it take pros to do this. Goes really quick well practice makes perfect. A no. Again i know no other shooter here there and ive been using the wrong one you know here through this little hole book.

Next day finishing the job quickly is the order of the day its minus 4 degrees celsius inside the eagle cooler than being in the refrigerator yet its still warmer than it is outdoors. Morning guys the next morning the group is richly rewarded with stunning views for braving that chilly night. The. Next we pay a visit to the eagle eye cheesemaking school and linden back here they offer workshops where people can learn how to make a spots in the pot. Cheesey pasta dish is a specialty of the. Even the cheese is hand made here. Was put off well what do we need for a good you know whats the most important thing when it comes to making a good cheese. And good milk milk when you find the best milk in germany in the allegory of course a very good choice to turn the milk into cheese will need some Lactic Acid Bacteria and the coagulant the mixture is then heated to 35 degree celsius right here this is the same lets test it take this kind of knife and stick it into the milk you know right now lifted like you would have. Its like yogurt is right and i think youve got to put it in. The smaller the pieces the firmer the cheese gets. Back to health. And its heated and stirred some more and the whole thing all effects they little by little. Its not but then we call this one big cheese. With ok. Now our cheese has to sit for 2 hours but christiane khulna the chef at the linen bag a horse has prepared another cheese for us to make our case spots in the way so now were making the noodle doh. This is guns and the recipe is quite simple if you take 2 weeks proportion were around 150 grams of flour and 100 milliliters of water. Lets get cracking. As the show gets kind of a poor mans meal in the past 2 people simply took leftover cheese grater it is and added it to pancakes another simple dish and flour based dishes used to be staples and they just mixed something with it but it had put the game on. The noodle goes finished its time to put it in hot salty water. Its making me have if not a salty as the mediterranean but in the general direction. Here we have our bets of a Greater Knowledge but you can also use a press you put it in here old fill it with joe stork writing and told him that day. No sooner said than done its also hard and the noodles look just like they should. Cook them for a minute or 2 removed from the water and then add the cheese and the mixture should be tossed rather than stirred until the cheese evenly distributed then topped the noodles with fried onions and some mountain herbs and weve got ourselves some delicious the fairy and soul food. People here in the elbow might not be too crazy about counting calories but theyre very eager when it comes to keep in their traditions alive a good example for that is the annual corn sledge race in florida an adventurous to bargain chase that puts a funny spin on century old customs. For decades the varian town of homs has hosted its traditional show lingo regs. On the beasts that just would call unchanged dramas participants career down a 1000 meter long slope into the valley below with blessings from above. Local clergyman are among the writers protestant and catholic alike but shopaholic i think the lord understands it when he sees the opportunity to goof around about it i think it pleases him. 20 minutes later they are up at the starting line in fact the 2 chechnyan up taking the inaugural run. Only just read we dont want to this race are the catholic or the Protestant Church so well just do it. When that strikes 12 the race begins. The Catholic Priest still is the set with chris asian while his protestant copilot hangs on for dan knowing. The godly team crosses the finish line i let you yeah. But i thought we came out surprisingly well because no mishaps the show yes i feel a lot better than an hour ago. The run was a kilometer long trip its led just experiencing 200 meter drop in elevation between the start on the finish line. Something that looks incredibly dangerous there are surprisingly few injuries. Braking isnt allowed unless its not intentional and only traditional style sledging is optimistic to race. But everyone gets a place in the final rankings as long as they in the National Guard make it to the finish. No. Thats why im peacenik just with the horn shakes promised cool shelling got the. Whole show there comes from the bavarian sri lanka or shrink of which means to move back and forth to be from the left to the right thats where the name comes from 3 called to do the whole good no my question then the race is unique in every way just like things were originally used to transport hay and firewood down from the mountain into the valley some of the locals demonstrate just how it was done. To shine the rays sydney is heaps of fun.
