Today's TILT is dedicated to my good friend Corey and her fiancé Brian since the visa stuff has finally worked out and he'll be in America on Sunday. Congratulations to you both and welcome to America Brian. We're glad to have you.
What's more American than a
roast turkey sandwich with cranberries? I want to eat this right now. I have not yet been to
Lovejoy Bakers, but now I will definitely need to make a point of going there. The rest of the menu also sounds fantastic.
Favorite Cookbooks of 2011: I haven't posted anything from David Lebovitz in awhile, which is sad because his writing is so wonderful. I love the way he describes some of these cookbooks - makes me want to jam more into my already crowded shelf. These are some unique cookbooks as many of them seem to tell a story along with their recipes. Good gift ideas in here!
How to Deal with Baker's Block: Aside from just buying more and more cookbooks and creating a never ending list of recipes you will probably never see the end of? Yeah, this is good advice. Sometimes just hitting that old recipe you know you can do so well brings the pride back into it. When I pull a perfect loaf of
challah out of the oven or
make cookies from a recipe I have basically memorized? Baking life feels good! Baking for friends also helps.
2011 Food Trends I Can Agree With: I posted this for one reason and one reason only - pimento cheese.
Kirst and I are already well aware of how amazing
this Southern appetizer really is. One of the commenters even says to get it at our favorite place to eat it -
Russell St. BBQ. Corey is already a fan of the 'q so we'll just need to get Brian on board.
Speaking of food trends, Alton Brown (one of my fave celebrity chefs) has a great piece about
why he's against food trends. It's not that they are bad, per se, but it's awesome to just make food because it's all kind of magical.
Gruesome Body Parts Made Out of Bread: Lisa sent this to me some time ago and it is super creepy. And intriguing. But also really, really creepy. And maybe a little punk rock? But mostly creepy.
Snakes and Lattes: Here's a link that's been sitting in my reader for some time now. Oops. But doesn't this place sound awesome? Look at that wall of games! If I'm ever in Toronto, I am seeking this place out.
You know what would be great to sip at a place like that?
Numi's Holiday Chai.I'm a sucker for chai and I love Numi teas, so this sounds like absolute perfection to me.
I'm also loving: wine nights with Kirst, somehow made better by talking about work stuff and cover letters; honey crisp apples; spicy ramen bowls; mulled apple cider; all warm drinks right now; "'Do you spike your eggnog? With what' 'I put whiskey in my glass and then sort of wave it near the eggnog. That counts, right?" -Amandarama via Serious Eats; Aaron making OMG alfredo with pasta from
Pastaworks; how many kitchen items are always on my gift wish lists; how much more tea I seem to drink when I have company; making new baking buddies; "forcing" chocolate cake on people; whiskey club; seriously, why are honey crisp apples so delicious?
What are you loving this week? Seriously, I want to know. Comment away.
