Adventures in Advent: Advent 2024, Day 7

 If you're new to the Foodie community and don't have many ideas on where to start, then might I suggest this edible Advent calendar from the Tilz Collection? In it, you receive 24 different spices and blends to craft an array of culinary delights from countries such as Turkey, Vietnam and Pakistan.

Unfortunately you don't get a recipe card or booklet giving you ideas on how to use your daily gift. But the tins that the spices and herbs come in as reusable as well as labeled. For the retail price on Amazon of $45.99, this is an affordable way to start a spice rack for your kitchen.

When I decided to get serious about learning how to cook 25 years ago, I didn't know where to start. Mostly because at that time, I didn't know what I liked and disliked. Now a professional chef, I've got a repertoire that I feel pretty confident in. But man how I wish I had one of these when I was first starting out. I would have had a blast.

If you do decide that this is the Advent calendar for you for next year or you want to get this as a gift for someone else, websites such as Epicurious and the Food Network homepage will help you figure out how to use these ingredients in any skill level recipe from beginners to advanced.

The Batman Advent netted me a small sheet of 5 puffy stickers. They're stylized adhesives featuring a quintet of the Caped Crusaders greatest foes. Of the first week of offerings I got from this calendar, today's item was the first time I actually exclaimed any sort of excitement over. Not sure where I might use them. But I really like them!
