An Apple & Honey Cheese Board for Rosh Hashanah — Celebrating Rosh Hashanah
Reply
Every fall, Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) rolls around right as the apple harvest comes into full swing. The timing could not be more fortuitous, since apples dipped in honey are the holiday’s best known food symbol — an edible representation of one’s wishes for a sweet and round year ahead.
As someone who regularly throws dinner parties, I understand the magic of a well-curated cheese board to make guests feel lavishly welcomed — and to tide them over until dinner is served. I adore the cheese, naturally, but often find it’s the extras — the fruit, olives, breads, and spreads — that make the board feel particularly special.

Why Oatmeal Made in a Rice Cooker Is Awesome — Tips from The Kitchn

But to be honest, this appliance takes up a lot of space. So how can I justify the amount of cabinet space it takes up? Because in addition to making great rice, the rice cooker makes great oatmeal too!

Harold and Paul Make Polenta — Weekend Meditation
Last week, on the same day, I encountered two very different recipes for polenta. One had a practicality born of science, curiosity and efficiency. The other was much more rooted in time and tradition. One quick, the other slow. One required a modern appliance; the other, sourcing a special, stoneground organic polenta. The former I discovered, rather fittingly, while listening to a podcast and the later, equally fittingly, while sitting on a couch next to an open window while browsing through a book.
