SNOW! AND THE FORECAST
Gray skies and white flakes falling - cooking weather!
But before I leave for the store (stocking up is what this weather is all about), I'm communing with my new pottery and making final decisions about what to give which friend for Christmas. It's match-making. I scored some wonderful pottery up at the show at the Art School at Old Church in Demarest, where legendary pottery Karen Karnes each year curates a show of some 30 potters from all over the country. Much of the work is table-friendly, oven-friendly, serving friendly. I love seeing the food I cook in such beautiful pots. (For future reference, the show is an annual one, usually the first weekend in December.)
OK, now, some story notes for the future to answer your questions: First, the cookbook story is coming out this Wednesday (Dec. 5) in the Press. And as for specifics, I can't reveal before publication which books I picked for the story. But you only have to wait till Wednesday!
The next Wednesday, we'll have some party tips in a story and, the following week, Dec. 19 we have something super-special for Christmas Eve - on the feast of the fishes. For New Year's, if all goes according to plan, we'll be introducing you to a Asian specialty that's quite off the beaten menu. Fingers crossed!
I'm very curious about what y'all are cooking for the holidays. Staying with traditions? Trying something new and different? Please tell me about it.
cheers,
Andy
