  1. Watch out, Krampus is on his way!
    I hope you've been good enough that he won't catch you.
    Have a wonderful St. Nicholas Day anyway!

  2. #FiXatoCommentsOn B. Dylan Hollis' #Pfeffernüsse recipe:

    In the Netherlands these 'kruidnoten' (literally: spice nuts), as they are called in Dutch, are still a traditional treat around St. Nicholas Day, 5th/6th of December. (Though I've yet to see them with an icing coating; white, milk, dark chocolate coatings however, are common; and tasty!). They usually already arrive in shops around September/October though.
    Though they are colloquially also known as 'pepernoten' (literally: pepper nuts), those are technically a different treat; where kruidnoten are small and crispy, pepernoten are bigger and more chewy. As wikipedia describes it: "They are light brown, square shaped, and made from the same ingredients as taai-taai : rye flour, sugar and anise, and sometimes also cinnamon, and clove. They are fairly chewy, though they harden gradually when exposed to the air."

    You should find a recipe for taai-taai (pronounced similar to 'Thai Thai', I guess); you might find that interesting to make and taste too.

  3. Annual reminder that after several centuries of warring over who has the real relics of St. Nicholas, DNA analysis has proved that both Venice and Bari own half and half of Santa.

    Sharing the corpses of long dead saints is caring, children.🎅🎅

  4. CW: CW: Food/Drink

    I used the coupon my boss got me for St. Nicholas Day to buy three whole packages of Capri Sun Cherry and I have no regrets because I’ve loved Capri Sun Cherry since childhood - it gives me ALL the nostalgia feels. #CapriSun #Cherry #Drink #Food #StNicholasDay
