  1. Something went terribly wrong with food in the mid-20th century. There is a website where a young woman makes mid-century meals and tests them on her husband and son.

    Meat is great and blood is the life.

    Strip clubs: Something something with a heart of gold.Report

  2. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

    I hope that you eat too much today, then take a nap in front of a television upon which the Cowboys are losing. Wait, who are they playing? Crap, the Cowboys are going to win. Maybe the Lions will do okay…Report

    1. I took the liberty of promoting my Thanksgiving post from yesterday in the spirit of a “let politics rest for a day” Thanksgiving. I will be cooking, drinking, eating, and cleaning most of the day, so a happy and safe holiday to you all.

      If you seek additional Thanksgiving reading here, I’ve selected some musings from years past which you may peruse via a hastag search, although I most heartily recommend Mike Dwyer’s musings about food traditions from last year and Christopher Carr’s guide to making genuine New England cranberry sauce. It’s an irrational peeve of mine to force canned cranberry “sauce” out of the marketplace forever when real cranberry sauce made on your stove is so absurdly easy to make and produces such a pleasing result.Report

  3. I was introduced to Smitten Kitchen when someone sent me a link to her Fairytale of New York cocktail (yes, she does cocktails too!) since I love all things Pogues…and bourbon. Now I go there first when looking for recipes!Report

    1. I have not seen that one but will look it up, @maria . Being alone with the boys means much less time for cooking so I don’t read/use her as much as I used to/would like to but she’s a staple nonetheless!Report

        1. Ha! Well, Nonna cooks the holiday foods. So we’re all good there. I’m moving them towards more non-kid foods whenever possible. But with time (and to a lesser extent money) a scarce resource, cooking — even for myself — has fallen by the wayside. C’est la vie.Report

        1. Yeah, pretty much. It works, though! My friends made the simple syrup oncoction for me last year, and my husband and I enjoyed it a lot.

          I hear you on the cooking thing. I too am trying to get my kids to eat more of the food we eat, but they are both so skinny I end up fretting about getting enough calories in them even though I know I don’t need to. I have had success with stir-frying chicken marinated in soy sauce, a little sugar, and sesame oil. I will throw in a veg I know they will eat and then see what happens. Alas they are both in the stage of preferring their veggies raw, but baby steps. Who knew feedings kids was so hard!Report
