Amykinz posted:I used the recipe from The Breadmaker's Apprentice by Peter Reinhart and Ron Manville, which is a really fabulous but slightly more involved challah recipe. You mix it up and knead it, let it rise once and knock it back down, let it rise again, form it, and then proof it and bake it. I did both rises and just patted it into a rectangle, brushed with melted butter and added cinnamon sugar. Baked the next morning and did a light cream cheese icing and they were perfect. I've done the BBA challah before, just never thought to use it in cinnamon rolls (to be honest, I'm not a huge dessert person). I will make some for new years' and bring them over to my sister - she'll flip, she loves cinnamon rolls! What do you think of using creme anglaise for the icing? Think it'll be too overpowering with the rolls already being so eggy and sweet?

I got a paella and a sweet book about them, so ready to go home and get started. Also got a nice Czech cookbook from my grandmother so I'll have to see what's new in there for my Slavic taste buds.

I always figured it was a joke about two imaginary friends going bare knuckled in the streets: Santa and Jesus.

I will make some for new years' and bring them over to my sister - she'll flip, she loves cinnamon rolls! I think it would be a bit much, and soggy. I creamed butter and cream cheese together and added powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and a bit of cream to loosen it up and tossed it on while they were still warm. Once we ate them the top had that slight crust from the icing and that is a big favorite of my husband. You could do a thinner glaze with just milk and powdered sugar, or a tangier icing with more cream cheese+lemon to cut down on the frosting amount, but they'd also probably be great sliced with a dab of butter too.

@paraquat: condolences. @thread namechange: I love it. @everyone: happy whatever you've been celebrating (or not). I'm stuck in in-law limbo for another 3 days. But then! Then, it will be champagne and more champagne. And then some champagne.

oh and my insane (in a somewhat positive way) mother-in-law bought me silly expensive cookbooks - they aren't anywhere near well off and even with 5 kids she still decides to buy her sons- and daughters-in-law presents costing more than I feel comfortable spending on my own mother; my sister and brother-in-law gave me a tortilla press (yay!) and some interesting spices and my cousins read my "dried chili and interesting spices to play around with" and decided on a triple-vacuum-packed bag of Bhut Jolokias with a label that reads "We recommend the wearing of gloves and dust mask when handling this product". It will end in pain. For someone. I may just decide to stuff a sausage with bits of Bhut Jolokia and leave it out for that annoying cat that keeps pissing on and right next to my car.

1 Bhut Jolakia can make 5-10 gallons of salsa. Hope you have a lot of tomatoes.

Went out for dinner tonight with my parents to a revered Italian joint in a neighboring town. Got the zuppa di pesce at the recommendation of my dad. Was offered white or red, got it white. The "broth" was pretty flavorless. The calamari was cooked into rubber oblivion. The shrimp were good...all four of them in a huge platter. The clams and mussels were okay. The best part of the dish were the scallops which for whatever reason are my least favorite bit of seafood. Overall my culinary sojourn to CT for the holiday has proven fruitless. The best thing I've eaten here is a chicken parm sandwich from a local (and much-loved by me) 24-hour diner. It's not even that this is a food or restaurant desert or anything, I am just having some bad luck!! At least my gin and soda was good. Not looking forward to my 12 hour drive Saturday...

I saw Guy Fieri on a commercial a few days ago. My first thought was, "That's a really good Guy Fieri impression," but the punchline never came. It took me a minute to realize it was actually him. I officially can't tell Guy Fieri from Guy Fieri parodies anymore.

Dear E/N, In Amsterdam. Completely surreal. Got a Filipino to cry in Manila because he asked how it looked like on Leyte. Just told him what it looked like. It apparently is Christmas. I will be back in the Philippines in 4 or 5 weeks time, but this time to run my department there. I visited a colleague in Manila yesterday, he had just gotten a baby. Couldn't shake the mothers hand, contaminated. May have contracted something. Had to leave pretty quick. Doesn't matter we're just working. Your pal Happy

The stories you tell are really touching. Would you consider making a thread about your experiences abroad? I'm sure other people would love to hear about them, and having everything consolidated in megathreads makes it a bit impenetrable.

I do hope that next year and the years after you and your family can spend the holiday season reminiscing about all the best times you had with her. HH, you are rad and a very good person and I hope you have an awesome New Year's. Real hungover after drinking a poo poo ton of whiskey with my husband, brothers, and mom last night. Things I learned last night: The Grinch Broadway show is really, really funny and the dude who plays the Grinch is the bad guy from LazyTown. Lüke does have a very good burger and also my mom is smart and lets me order her cocktails when we go out. My mom also likes to talk a bunch of poo poo while watching us play darts. I think I need more coffee.
