Odd

Tomorrow is St. Nicholas' day, which doubles as a little pre-Christmas here in Germany. Kids get sweets, in their shoes, in the morning, traditionally.

Never mind 'strange', it's tradition.

Somebody's put an anonymous St. Nicholas' gift onto my doorknob today; a rather posh gift bag containing nuts, tangerines, and--

-- a bunch of really fresh nice hot chilies.

Well, I like them. It means that wiebke  and cracicotus  will be fed banana chili with fresh chili, next weekend when they come to stay.
