Good morning. It is Columbus Day for some, Indigenous Peoples' Day for others, Thanksgiving for Canadians and General Pulaski Memorial Day for those who remember the Polish hero of the American Revolution, who died after the siege of Savannah in 1779. |
I'm moved to ask: How are you doing? You holding up? Mondays can land with force: another starting line, another marathon. Weren't we just here the other day? |
We were, as it happens. But now we've got this new recipe for tom yum soup with tofu (above), a vegetarian Thai number with silken tofu and vermicelli that I think would make a fine and warming one-bowl meal this evening, and a chance to greet the new week with pleasure. |
Also new: this recipe for sheet-pan chicken chilaquiles, a dinnertime version of the breakfast favorite, with blistered-vegetable salsa roja poured over chips and chicken. And we're pleased to offer this recipe for shrimp glass noodles with spicy mustard sauce, a fast and flavorful meal that you could make this afternoon and serve chilled or at room temperature for dinner, or for lunch tomorrow. |

Now, it has precious little to do with lap cheong or kugelhopf, but Chris Bachelder's glowing Times review of Amor Towles's third novel, "The Lincoln Highway," got me to read an excerpt from the book, at least. See what you think. |
I thought it was kind of a weird flex for AAA to publish a list of the most dangerous roads in America, but as I've driven eight of the 12, I figured I'd share. We're an odd people, to be proud of stuff like this! |
Finally, check out this fascinating dispatch from southeast Alaska, about the wooden hooks used by Native fishers to catch halibut, and one woman's efforts to bring them back, by Bjorn Dihle in Alaska Magazine. Fascinating! I'll be back on Wednesday. Have a great week. |
