I like to watch YouTube videos while I'm on the treadmill.

I always find it curious that you hold thumbs while we in Britain cross our fingers? What's done in other countries, roomies?
We have had alcoholic advent calendars over here for a long time. I think the Scotch whisky one was the first soon to be followed by Gin, beers, etc.
This year, I have seen cheese, cosmetics... and even Yankee Candles!
When I was a kid you didn't get chocolate, just a picture
Man, you guys chatted a lot over night!! Well, my night!
I don’t really have a recipe for the chicken tortilla soup but the basics are...
Chicken broth
Sautéed onion and garlic
A can of crushed tomatoes
Some rice
Can of black beans
Corn
Any season to taste like cumin and red pepper flakes if you like it spicy.
Shredded chicken
For garnish I use sour cream, cilantro, cubed avocado, jack cheese or any shredded cheese and tortilla strips.
It literally takes minutes to put together and simmer.
Sometimes I use a can of refried beans.
I eat it with corn bread or French banquette toasted.

There's your problem. Your night is our day and I woke up early to make matters worse
Ta!
Found it! Husband’s advent calendar from last year:
That’s when I learned I’m not a whiskey person.
I made one for daughter too. But not with whiskey:
Good mornooning! (A term coined by our MIA roommate to include all of the CDR time zones in one greeting.)
Gives them a special glow... I guess... Just don’t call PETA, please!

It makes sense.. my art conversations tend to sound more like "where did I put my eraser!" Or " darn it pencil! Get back here!" Though.

Morning Cheryl! How ya doing?
I mostly think in English. But if I kick myself hard into the Russian mode... we hold thumbs to show you’ve done well... We cross fingers if we’re lying but don’t want the Powers Above to punish us (and I don’t mean FSB)... We might be holding fists — in case you need extra help getting there... But overall I forgot. Too many years of international living.

The first advent calendars I saw were in Germany, and I loved them. Especially the Kinder Surprise ones (I have a collection of figurines on and off since the 1990s). The animal shelter here was recently asking for donations for their animals’ advent calendars...

Mmm chocolate.. my mother inlaw sent us a huge bag of chocolates. I must not think about it or I will want to eat them!
