Good evening/afternoon/morning everyone and welcome to today's #checkin. It's again this ugly rainy weather at 5C.
The best time to enjoy a tea or maybe a gingerbread latte! I, personally, love these Christmas associated flavors like cinnamon or cloves. If the weather was better, folks would be visiting the Christmas markets in town over a mulled wine, or non-alcoholic children's punch or a Hot chocolate and some Bratwurst, roasted chestnuts or other food like Crêpes. And let's not forget the yummy gingerbread! I love the season. I remember the winter walks in snow to my grandma and getting a fresh hot cacao with cream for warming up...
Is there any food or special drink you associate with Christmas or this season, and you are looking forward to?

This evening I'm all hot in the biscuit to make some noise with my git-tars. No AI, no drum machines, just me having fun making noise.
Learned about the Stetsbar tremelo which would totally rock on a steampunk themed guitar:

@Janet Logan 🏳️⚧️ A local bakery ( sadly closed this year ) made a small bûche de Noël that was great. I guess I need to seek out another , single serving sized one around here.
I find that the company rather than the food makes the gathering. Good food never hurts though.

I was honestly amazed at how easy they are to make. The decoration is the hard part. The recipe is very simple. It's basically a chocolate jelly roll with flavored whipped cream.
This seems to be a decent recipe. And you definitely don't need the alcohol mentioned.

I also like eggnog. It's a great excuse to use nutmeg 😁 A local dairy in MD/PA made the best eggnog ever... then they discovered stock manipulation and that was the end of that.
The green grocer here sells eggnog year-round.

Eggnog is one of those things they should sell in 'double shot' sized containers. Just enough for the whole year in a small juice glass.

@Mark Wollschlager yep that's them! They actually ruined the eggnog before they went under. The last time we got it, it was runny and tasteless.
