When I got out of bed today, the temperature was in the single digits.  When it’s bitterly cold outside, do you know what I’m instantly hungry for?  It’s not soup, or chili, or stew… nope, it’s fresh from the oven, homemade cookies.  Via Neatorama, Suburban Food For Thought passes along a delicious link to Gourmet Magazine’s top cookie of the year.  Actually, the link is to the top cookies of the year from 1940-now.  That’s a lot of cookies!

You know the thing I love most about the internet?  It’s the easy access to everything from videos of cats riding Roombas to haunted houses.  If you want to make KFC cole slaw or the world’s best bourbon balls, hit the internet.  It’s a search away.  Thanks to the web even I can look like a great cook, and I’m secretly a mediocre to bad chef.

I guess it’s not a secret anymore.  I mean, I’m great on the grill and I can make some great barbeque ribs without assistance from the web, but those fixin’s and desserts always give me trouble.  I think it’s time I get back in the kitchen and get to work on my cookie-fu.  Since there are a lot of cookies that require alcohol, it’s a good excuse to replenish my bar, too!

One of the traditions of the old Yankee Stadium that didn’t seem to last too long was the bowl game.  That’s right; there was a little-known college football bowl game that took place at Yankee Stadium called the Gotham Bowl, and there were also a few random bowl games before that one took place.  The […]
