Happy St Nikolaus Day to everyone! Hope your shoes were filled with lovely goodies from the chap himself (and no Krampus to cramp your style).

In Dutch the kind bishop's name got turned into "Sinterklaas" (Sint Nicolaas only if you wanted to be very formal, or in certain songs - which, incidentally, I have been singing off and on throughout the day).
Yesterday I made gevulde ("filled") speculaas, a treat traditionally eaten around this time of year. The filling is a home-made almond paste, a bit like a moister and slightly coarser marzipan, and the outside has spices in it like cinnamon and clove and nutmeg and a LOT of soft dark brown sugar. The texture is somewhere between a cookie and a cake.

If that is the traditional food for St Nikolaus day, I would definitely celebrate it. Your dish sounds yummy and looks even yummier. I think it should be added to the S&G menu for at least the whole month of December.
