Last week of November! Kind of the best time of the year. Anticipation is almost always better than the actual thing you’re anticipating. Tell me I’m wrong. Here’s what went down this past week.
BAKING/COOKING
I made a new stuffing (sausage gravy stuffing) for (fake) Thanksgiving and I’m so happy with how it turned out. I’m gonna make it again at Christmas to see if my family likes it, but I can’t see how I don’t make this every year from now on. I’ve loved Chef John’s recipes for such a long time and it’s wild that he’s been this consistently great for years now.

CRAVING
A phone-free holiday season. Is it even possible? Will everyone hate this idea? I’m gonna try my best to see if my family can get onboard with this idea next month at Christmas but it might be an uphill battle.
DRINKING
Candy cane cocoa in iced coffee. What can I say, Merry Christmas.
EATING
The Thanksgiving turkey dip sandwich from Deux Luxe in NYC. It’s a “turkey burger with cranberry onion jam aioli and mozzarella, ready to dunk into a house-made gravy sauce and topped off with a stuffing cranberry crunch on the side for dunking”. So good. I love a seasonal sandwich. And I’d never thought of a sandwich having a crunchy dip, but stuffing is such a genius idea.
