Love that J captured us looking weary on the Subway. The Butter hat was my purchase at the Bryant Park Christmas market.

Fun first day in the city. We loved & Juliet, and then we had dinner at La Grande Boucherie, and checked out the ice skaters at Rockefeller Center. Met up with our nice who is a student at Fordham.

Everyone debates the merits of the spatchcock, but I'm here to tell you: consider cutting the halves of the turkey off the carcass, dry brining the meat, and roasting the carcass to make your stock for gravy and other dishes (like dressing/stuffing) ahead of time. 🍽️🍜

I actually take it further and cut the halves of the turkey off the carcass-- it's the exact same way the restaurant where I work does the half-chickens. I like it because then I can roast the carcass and make my gravy stock ahead of time. Then I dry brine the halves on sheet pans in the fridge.

So “Camp Christmas” is taking over the building at work. Camp as in campy. We are “The Winter Pearl” for the season. The vibe is a bit “look at this stuff, isn’t it neat, wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete” but I like it.

Hot Springs, AR, home of McClard's BBQ, which is home to this, the Delta-style tamale spread. (Delta-style tamales are a fun mashup of Black and Mexican cooking created in the Mississippi Delta)

Dinner was very “family meal” because I had leftover fennel and some potatoes to use up. Mashed potatoes full of Gouda, topped with fennel, onion, pepper, and tomato sauce with lots of smoked paprika and a fennel-heavy sausage.

So far: roasted some squash with rosemary, thyme, and hot honey. Made cornbread dressing (I made the cornbread yesterday.) made green bean casserole minus the onion topping. Roasted a bunch of wings that are now in the instant pot to become stock for gravy. Turkey breasts just went into the oven.

The only way this is going to be possible is convenience foods. I’d like to thank Marie Callender for her pies, and Jennie O for such a thing as an “oven ready no thawing” turkey breast.

Pablo the labsky says hi, feel free to join him on the couch if 95lb lapdogs are your vibe. He’s like a sentient weighted blanket and has opinions about when you are allowed to stop petting him (ideally never)

On this day two years ago Jon and I were picking up our salvaged kitchen cabinets. We hadn’t even closed on the new house yet, but when I saw those maple slab fronts for only $2500, I knew they were key to the new kitchen I was envisioning.
