My friend, Lori, who moved to Italy a year ago went to the German Christmas markets this year, and she loved it.

I often used to make cinnamon rolls but I've never tried cardamom rolls. I wonder if they taste similar.

Oh my, those rolls look good! And what a delicious meal -- or I should say meals, past and present. And fun for your gang in Germany. All so good! Merriest season to you!
