Gentle Friends, one of the things I love about the Christmas season, is anticipating the fun edible things that are only available during this time of year......
...... over the weekend I found some of them..... Bud's Egg Nog, an SF original and just grand with a hit of handmade Kentucky "NOG." When I got home with the Bud's I found that we were out of MM - so back out to the store to buy more, what's "Egg" without the "NOG." I also found some Panettone and chocolate covered Lebkuchen - delicious!! I was turned on to Lebkuchen when I was on vacation in Germany - in the lovely town of Nuremberg, Germany - I impatiently wait for this cookie every year and do a little jig when I find the first "kuchen's." For me it jump starts the Christmas season!! They also come with a plain glaze, but that touch of dark chocolate really is nice!!

One of the many things I love about Christmas is the foods which are only available during the holiday season.

All look yummy, I love a good egg nog. Your shortbread cookies from a few posts ago also look really good
ReplyDeleteI live a dull life. I've never had eggnog before. I've never thought it looked good. But it does sound better with the MM! I can vouch for the pecan bars....they are delicious!

Wonderful! You were close to my home town when you visited Germany. I love Lebkuchen too. I seem to find them only in the military commissary this time of year and then they sell out very quick. Well...I'm a country girl....you're in the big city. I imagine you can get just about anything:)
ReplyDeleteLooks like some wonderful treats! One of the things I enjoy the most about the holidays are all the treats. I decided I don't care about the calories and I sample a little of everything, lol.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Pecan Pie bars with chocolate? I'm rushing over NOW. lolol!
ReplyDeleteEdgar, your posts often make me hungry! I will try that recipe for sure!
ReplyDeleteOooh.. Lebkuchen - I had a German neighbor once who would get "care packages" from Germany. She shared Lebkuchen with us. I haven't had any since. I think I need to check with some stores and see if I can find some. YUM!!!
