Oh lordy, another blog to follow. But, really, how could I possibly NOT follow a blog that combines French cooking with German... cafe creme and pretzels. Really.
One thing we Amis (German shorthand for Americans) miss out on is the Advent calendar... loads of them out there with different themes. My favorites - the DROPS calendar with cute holiday knitting ideas and the the culinarily themed one from Kochtopf (aka the Cooking pot, stock pot, etc).
And it gets better - here's a flash-back to the eighties (in case you were feeling nostalgic) - as someone commented somewhere else, the hairdos alone are worth looking at here!
Never seen an Advent calendar? Well, the idea is that it helps you count down to Christmas from December 1. Children are big fans - lots of fun stuff for them. For the grups (grown ups) it's themed calendars, with everything from craft ideas, to recipes, to knitting patterns, to, well, who knows.
We are missing out! Demand your local Advent calendar today.
In which it's cold outside and Turkey day is near!

I grew up with Advent calendars and love them. We have one my great grandmother made that has a little mouse that gets moved from pocket to pocket until it hits the 24th.
In recent years, I have purchased chocolate advent calendars. We also have 2 Lego Advent calendars with different themes. What can we see, we're addicted.
