Bagels
I was fortunate to visit my former home city Detroit twice this year. The city is reemerging after years of hard luck. Like so many places, a food revolution is taking hold. It’s not only galvanizing folks to do interesting things everything I have tasted is also first rate delicious. The bagel pictured here is hands down the best bagel I ate in 2014, and I live in NYC–arguably one o the bagel mecca’s of the USA. This one is called the Lew Silver, a typical lox, cream cheese schmear, capers and red onion situation except the addition of grated lemon rind in the cheese elevated the whole mouthful. Still it’s the actual bagel that is so amazing–crunchy, chewy and seasoned just right. I’m beginning to think it’s the water along side the baking technique. See for your self and drool.

Now, if only my photo upload worked this time then I’m getting my blogging mojo back (thanks to John).
Best,

The salad dressing Lucinda’s mother Rose made every night got two million views on TikTok. A lettuce recall, a pair of measuring spoons, and a damn good dressing. Recipe included. -
Our prior dog had passed. We weren’t sure we wanted another. Then a cinnamon-colored puppy named Lychee was the last one left at the Cape Ann Animal Shelter. -
Every tool we make has to do more than one job. Lucinda on where that rule came from, the Super Spoon, and a 100-year-old potato masher called a Beetle.

Growing up they’ll be Lucy, Sammy, and Annie, probably, as nimncakes. I’m from a family of three girls and we were all given our own unique names, that look very different on paper (Abigail me, Jacqueline, and Nicole), and we all ended up primarily using our nimncakes, all of which end in the long E sound (Abby, Jackie, Nikki) yet they all still feel like such different names and make a great sibset, in my opinion! Maybe it’s because each of our nimncakes still end in different letters
