[Sca-cooks] So, here's an odd question...

[Phil Troy / G. Tacitus Adamantius]

For those who do this -- parents of children small and not so small,  
maybe... what do people leave out for St. Nick?

I figure he gets sick of milk or cocoa and cookies, in all those  
millions of households. We usually leave two Shanghai spring rolls  
and some kind of ale*. He seems to really like a nice, dry IPA. Must  
be all that travelling he does... maybe a Russian Imperial Stout this  
year?
