A Sip Worth Sharing: The 2013 Utopias from Sam Adams — Beer Sessions
One of my favorite moments from my Holiday Potluck Party was getting to share a taste of Utopias from Sam Adams. I am the resident beer geek among my friends, and after I first tasted this beer over the summer, they cheerfully tolerated my effusive gibbering. Here, finally, was my chance to show them what all the fuss was about. I can really think of no better context for this beer: a midwinter night, good friends, a cozy moment by the fire.
Recipe: Sticky Toffee Pudding Sundaes — Recipes from The Kitchn
If you’d told me ten years ago that sticky toffee pudding was made with dates of all things, I would have told you I didn’t like sticky toffee pudding, take it away. It took a few more years to figure out that toffee pudding doesn’t actually taste like dates and even if it did, that dates are, in fact, quite amazing. Thank goodness my eyes (and stomach) saw the light: now the over-the-top English dessert remains at the top of my hedonistic hall of fame.

“This salad is a cool combination of hominy, black beans, sweet and hot peppers, picante and spices.”
eggnog florentines
Today, because we don’t have enough bronzed and crisp, sugary, buttery thoughts already circling our heads, we’re going to talk about two recipes in one, a thin and lacy nut-caramel cookie known as a florentine and a filling that tastes exactly like eggnog, as if either of these things alone weren’t enough reason to gallop into the kitchen with your mask, cape and sense of urgency.
Florentines are essentially nuts, usually almonds or hazelnuts, coarsely or finely chopped, that have been baked into a buttery caramel disc. They hail, like so many delicious things, from Italy although I’ve seen versions from many other places, because once you try them, you’re going to want to make them your own too. Here, in a recipe that was published last year in the Tasting Table newsletter, someone did, a chef named Aaron Vandemark or Panciuto restaurant in Hillsborough, NC, a place I’d like to go immediately to applaud him in person for his creativity. Instead of almonds or hazelnuts, he uses pecans and a touch of cinnamon. He doesn’t stop there.

A Cozy Holiday Potluck with Friends — Gatherings from The Kitchn
So far this week, I’ve talked about the plan for my holiday potluck, shared the recipe for the incredible slow-cooked bigos stew that I made as my own dish, and showed you how to set a beautiful, easy holiday table with evergreens. Now it’s time talk about the party itself! Here’s how it all came together, from the mulled wine that we sipped as dishes were warmed to the dinner itself and the walnut cake we had for dessert. The whole evening came together with sparkle and light and ample amounts of good cheer.
