Although I'm not German, I live in the most German part of Canada.
It's more of a French and Spanish thing than a German thing (though we at least have a word for it that doesn't suggest a smelly dairy product). In Germany the time before Christmas is more about German gingerbread, speculaas, stollen, cinnamon stars (some very specific cinnamon cookies) and some simple white cookies with xmas-y themes like stars, angels and fir trees.
Maybe French Canada has it? Maybe they have more French xmas stuff, in that case try to get "marrons glacées" (candied chestnuts). Sadly haven't perfected those yet, they are very technical to do and take a lot of time (several days to 1-2 weeks).

And what is Evolv sitting on it can't release yet?
It's from the pre-replay videos they did with Daniel and Dean, the Evolv guy said they have planned to release their own devices (as in: not just boards) this year. Shortly after things got a little tense with the FDA and they haven't said anything since.

That's possible, a girl I dated years ago had a German dad and I'm not sure what decent the mom and grandmother were, but the grandmother made something with quince and sugar.

"Quittenbrot" (which is the German name) is almost impossible to get here whereas in France or Spain you just walk into any supermarket. Maybe the Grandmother picked something up from a trip or a relative from the south of the EU. I mean here I am in Germany making the stuff so it's not impossible.

Beer time is over, it's "Glühwein" time now (wine cooked with spices, I think star anis, cinnamon, cloves, orange peel, sugar is most common), spiked with rum as an option.

Yup! Italians call it Vin Brulé, a long time ago the neighborhoods we lived in would have a "walk" and people would serve Mulled Wine to them outside, we'd heat it on our BBQ grills in our driveways. One for the kids, one for the adults w/ alcohol. Mulled Wine has nutmeg, lemon peel, vanilla bean and apple as well. It was a long time ago but I think we used cognac in some of them... could be wrong there, memory isn't what it used to be o_O

I had one. It was kinda a pain. Had to keep really clean, in like it looks clean but needs to be cleaner. Must build pretty low ohms for it to work well.

A lot of peeps love it though there’s a huge thread here on it.
I read through most of the thread last night late. Have to finish today. So, I can’t build @1 on it?

Weird how the Italians call it "Burned Wine" in French.

Also weird when I hear English people say "crème anglaise".

Purpose of this reply, however, is to show that i've found the holy grail of RDA storage: magnetic doors, 23 individual compartments with a little box (not sure if i'll use the boxes), and a long thick storage for tools/cotton/misc.

If it's really cheap.
Mod itself works ok but the bottle is ridiculously small. Holds like 2ml so you refill the bottle alot, drove me insane.

Edit:
Oh its white/black but @Mowgli has a recurve in the classies. He ain't been around much, wonder why he's hiding?
Small bottle defeats the purpose. I’ve seen recurves under $50 at US dealers, but I can’t remember what I read that made me pass it up? Something about the bottle maybe?
