Ho ho ho

Thank you for letting me be in your neighborhood! Have a wonderful holiday week! (I'm leaving in a couple of hours, and I don't know which way to panic first--I don't think I have room in my suitcase for the lump of coal I'm giving the airlines...

It's a well-made movie (I don't regret seeing it, and the CGI is 92% of real), just don't go in thinking you won't know who will live and who will die (to be fair, any kind of an Original Statement is a big risk for a filmmaker, e...

Baconhut

Recipe here. It's a chocolate-bacon cake house with a bacon roof and salami front door. My only objection is that the candies on the sides of the house are chocolate covered licorice, which is just wrong. Update from the cookie exchange: thumbs...

They came to Jaypo in a dream ...and the recipe made a lot, too The next cookies Jaypo dreams about get named for Buz

Every year I get invited to a cookie exchange. The hostess invites 11 people, and everyone brings a plate of 12 cookies, and 12 containers with six cookies each. As a plate of cookies gets passed around, the person who brought that plate has to te...

Chocolate pound cake w/ chocolate glaze These posts should have more of a point

My dad is a retired history teacher. One year for Christmas he labelled all of our presents with the names of historical figures (my brother's were all men, mine were all women) and before we could open them we had to tell him who the people were....

Late dinner...whut?

Tonight I'm going to a taping of Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. I'll be up in the cheap seats, so you probably won't hear me squeeing over Carl Kasell. That's probably a good thing. Rick Sanchez of CNN is playing Not My Job, but I don't know who the pan...
