I’ve seen plenty of ads for “12 days of [item]mas” advent calendars.
NO.
Advent is the weeks leading up to Christmas. The 12 days of Christmas are December 25 through January 5. The 12 days come after Advent. So get yourself one of each kind and keep the celebration going.

Huh, Zhouqin Burnikel penned both the Apple News and New York Times crosswords today. I’m trying to think if I’ve seen that happen before.

Made Mamie Eisenhower’s pumpkin chiffon pie for dessert tonight and was tickled. It’s the first pumpkin pie recipe I’ve seen in ages worth making instead of surrendering to (utterly cromulent) $6 Costco pie. A friend said “it tastes like everything will be okay.”

Hey Arizona DPS, you think maybe 5:30 AM isn’t the best time to push an Emergency Alert System warning about a missing person to people’s phones? They aren’t going to be in my bedroom where I was, until recently, fast asleep.

Got myself back on Weight Watchers. Breakfast this morning is oatmeal inspired by Korean army stew. 9 points of my daily 37. Would have been five but there’s cheese hiding in there.

So far with kaiser rolls recipes, Martha Stewart’s is my favorite. I figured out the surprisingly tricky basics of the old-school folding technique that nobody does anymore. Now to learn how to do it better.

While working on making my perfect breakfast sandwich, I am surprised to find that so far my favorite protein option is turkey bacon. Also the sandwich is dramatically improved by arugula dressed with mayo and a dab of Dijon mustard. Even if the salad component would have me thrown out of New York.
