You know it's a snowy day when I spend the morning doing puzzles in the New Yorker.
All of which are food-related. (Yes, I got this week's issue. 🙂 )

Congratulations, @Diancecht! Don't forget that starting next year, most countries in Europe will require US citizens to get a sort-of visa.

Too young. Some reports are saying he died from pneumonia.
Somewhere I have a 1985 Yankees yearbook with his autograph and Ron Guidry's.

Pan-seared salmon filets with sweet potato, onion, and Romanesco broccoli "hash". Baked quince for dessert.

I've ordered replacement copies through the website. I'm just kvetching about not getting them in the first place.

My last 2 issues have gone missing. I don't know if the problem is with the magazine or my local post office, but it's very annoying.

This stodge is for Sneak. Pork belly, mushroom, barley soup. Warm comfort on a stormy day.
Which reminds me--how is Sneak doing? Has anyone heard from him lately?

I saw a Free Luigi banner hanging from an overpass above the 101 freeway.
No love for Mario?

Morros y Christianos, using the RG Midnight Black beans, plus some frozen spinach as the vegetable side. We've had 2 bags of Anson Mills Carolina Gold rice hanging out in the freezer for nearly a year, so I used that for the rice part. The recipe on the Anson Mills website is a bit fussy--you cook the rice for 15 minutes, rinse it off, then bake it in the oven at 300 degrees for another 10 minutes--but the rice came out well. I'm looking forward to using it in jambalaya.

Whenever our regular letter carrier goes on vacation, the service goes to hell. This week, we got no mail for 3 days (not consecutive days), and today for some reason the mail was left on the porch.

I actually rely on the coverage in Eater San Francisco. Not only have I read dining news there that may not have been reported elsewhere, but I probably wouldn't have otherwise heard of this great LGBTQ supper club that's given N and I lots of good times.
I've also found it useful when I'm traveling. Got lots of great Chicago tips from the Eater maps.

HBO's Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary. It's a fairly in-depth, sincere exploration of this mocked genre, which actually has a lot of influences from jazz, soul, and R&B. Great interviews with Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, members of Toto, and others. All of the music brought me back to long car rides between NJ and Brooklyn/Queens when I was a kid, listening to AM radio (WNBC and WABC).

I liked last week's "Incognito" cover.

Appetizers
- My sister's avocado deviled eggs
- The cheese I brought: goat cheese mislabeled as Brillat-Savarin, aged gouda, Vino Rossa, Point Reyes blue
- Crudites and salami
Dinner
- Two turkeys: one oven-roasted and one smoked. Unfortunately, the smoked turkey had very chemically tasting skin
- Surprisingly wan stuffing. My cousin usually does a better job
- Mom's cranberry-orange relish
- My sister's Caprese salad
- Other cousin's salad with shredded Brussels sprouts, grated Manchego, candied pecans, pomegranate seeds, and a bunch of other things
- Sweet potato casserole with streusel topping. Not as sweet as it sounds
- Macaroni and cheese (not tasted)
Dessert
- Pumpkin Basque cheesecake
- Dad's two coffee cakes: pecan-espresso-chocolate and cranberry
- Dad's cookie contributions
- My See's dark assortment
This fed 13 adults and one 9-year-old who eats like a bird.

Chili con carne, using the RG Mayan Reds, and cornbread. This should last us most of the week.

My contributions are, as per usual, cheese & crackers and a 1-pound dark See's assortment.
Oddly, my sister is bringing a Caprese salad. In November. To go with the turkey, roast beef, stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc.

Searching for a hot drink not involving coffee led me to Diffords.com and a recipe for a hot Negroni. You read that right. Surprisingly, it kind of works.
Hot Negroni
- 1/2 oz. gin
- 1/2 oz. Campari (or another Italian "red drink")
- 1/2 oz. sweet vermouth
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. rich simple syrup
- 1/3 cup boiling water
Combine all ingredients in a pre-heated, heat-safe glass (e.g., a toddy or Irish coffee glass).

I remember learning how to program in BASIC in the early 80s.
Me too. It made me realize very quickly that computer programming was not going to be my career path.

Glad you got it! I'm a Times subscriber, so I'm happy to forward on any recipe from there if needed.

If I ever have her over for a meal, I'll have to remember not to serve her goop.
