The St. Nikolaus bread man production went into overdrive! Six batches of dough later, "Nikolaus" had produced some larger men for secretly putting on our family plates overnight, and a gazillion smaller ones for giving away. I like to add a dash of lemon or orange extract into the mix. Alas, when I took out my extract bottle, and poured... nothing came out. Hmmm... I guess I had put the empty bottle back into the cabinet when I last used it. So, this year's men were extract-free. And, I put the extract box and bottle into the recycling bin, and made a note on the shopping list.
Our tradition is to take bread men to the children in our neighborhood (where "child" is loosely defined to include the "young-at-heart" as well). I took both S and T along for my deliveries. T was very proud to take the men designated for a given house into his gloved hands (it was cooold!), confidently ring the doorbell, and announce our gift.
