My roasted tomato, bacon, gruyere and parm bruschetta was good. The other was herbed cheese and prosciutto with a peach, black current, and Sichuan pepper jam, and it was awesome.

Walked into my husband's family's gathering today, set down my side dish, and was immediately handed a spill-proof cranberry cocktail. Hoping your day was good as well!

Pro tip: if you make more yeast rolls than you need you can hand pick the ones you take to dinner and no one in your family will know about your careless portioning.

My dead-end street exchanges food gifts at Christmas, just among the neighbors. Our neighbors at the top of the street got backyard chickens in the spring, and they brought us a little carton of eggs, with an instruction card for how to handle fresh eggs. I am ridiculously excited.

It sounds ridiculous but our ancient plasma TV puts out just the right amount of heat for proofing dough.
My yeast rolls are a little bit misshapen but super soft and very flavorful.

The Venice airport has a Dolce & Gabbana store. Paris has Hermes and Bvlgari and Rolex. I want to say US airports need to step it up but is anyone really going to buy a Rolex at the airport?

Venice has this restaurant called Pasta & Pasta. Kind of an Italian Chipotle. Pick your pasta, pick your sauce, off you go. I'm not a huge pasta guy but this carbonara was tasty as hell.
