KBB Challenge #26: Panettone

First of all, happy Advent time to whom celebrate it. We spent our first Advent at my mom in law's place. I brought my homemade Lebkuchen and a Panettone which was KBB's task this month. I wasn't really satisfied with the Panettone. I think I should have knead the dough longer. Telling you the truth, it wasn't comfortable for my big bump while I was kneading the dough. My baby seemed to protest too. The good thing is that hubby liked it. Panettone and Stollen, both are not my kind of dessert/cake/bread.

Advent time is the time before Christmas, 4 weeks before to be exact. This year I also make my own Advent wreath which consists four candles. Each candle is burnt on Advent Sunday, one by one. Beside the wreath, Advent calendar is also typical during this time. It's a calendar contains 24 windows which mean December 1st to 24th. Each window has a surprise inside, commonly are chocolates. Just like last year, I'm gonna make an Advent calendar by myself again this year.

On the way back home, we passed to Christkindlsmarkt (Christmas Market) in Augsburg. It was the first time spending time on the market without using gloves and being tortured by the cold. One thing that a must for me is warm maroni (chestnut), not Glühwein (hot spiced red wine) which is a typical drink during the Christmas in Germany and also some parts of Central Europe. I do like visiting Christmas Markets, especially when they're located in a beautiful old town, and somehow it's a must to me during this lovely season.

Once again, I wish you all a very blessed Advent time!
