I Think Thursday

Happy last Thursday before Christmas!  I’m hoping to get you at least one more cookie recipe for the big man comes down from the North Pole, but I’m notoriously bad at blogging so let’s see, shall we?

Here, some links for you!

1. Looking for a delicious, make-ahead holiday meal? Truffle Mushroom Lasagna!
2. Speaking of Truffle Mushroom Lasagna, I should mention that One Pan & Done (also Sheet Pan Suppers, obvs) make excellent holiday gifts! 😉
3. Aretha sings Adele?  OKAY.
4. A real cheese-tastrophy.
5. I could watch this all daaaaaay.
6. If Joy says bake, we bake.
7. An important reminder.
8. And this, too.

It’s the third-to-last Thursday of the year!  Wowza.  I am, very appropriately, drowning in cookies and latkes this week.  It’s a delicious sort of suffocation.

How about some links, yes?

1. Need a nice homemade hostess gift – or maybe just a gift to yourself? Meyer Lemon Almond Loaf Cake!
2. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
3. I still love these memes.  The Gryffindor one 😂
4. Adding to my to-make list.
5. This is really important.
6. The enduring power of aunties.
7. Ugh.
8. For the love of poems/doughnuts.
9. But like, why?

Hi, friends!  Happy Thursday.  Has the country just spontaneously gone up into flames yet?  No?  Great.  I’m keeping myself (mostly) distracted from current events with thoughts of seeing friends and family this weekend, and also eating a boatload of holiday cookies.

Here, some links for you!

1. Hannukah is next week! Let’s make LATKES!
2. This made me lol.
3. How to throw a dinner party without a kitchen table.
4. These Onion headlines are just writing themselves these days, aren’t they?
5. I mean I don’t NOT feel like this one is directed squarely at me? 😂
6. Women aren’t ruining food.
7. “Disastrous consequences for public health” in exchange for lower taxes for private airplane owners doesn’t seem fair to me.  You?
8. Yuuuuuum!
9. Do you follow @zoebakes? I’ve been loving her IG stories lately!

So, how was it?  The turkey and the stuffing and the family hugging/bickering?  Ours was big and loud and delicious, as per usual.  My team lost the family football game but I tried out a new pie recipe (and added toasted meringue) so, at the end of the day, everyone won.

Have you moved on to Christmas/Hannukah yet?  I admit I’ve been blasting the “happy holidays” Spotify station, and this weekend we’re planning to get our tree and dust off the ole menorah.  For now, here are some links for your day:

1. It’s cookie season! Try these White Chocolate Gingerbread Blondies on for size.
2. Must be some pretty good chicken.
3. What do we do with the art of monstrous men?
4. What every CEO knows but won’t tell you about the proposed tax bill.
5. Most amazing pie artist of all time!
6. Do you use Ebates? I’m finding it helpful, especially around the holidays. Free money!
7. I’m thinking of giving this meal plan a try post-holidays – has anyone else tried it?
8. Hahaha yes.

The big (turkey) day is just one week away!  If you’re stressed about what to make, maybe check out link number one?  It’s a bundle of all the best bits.  And here, some more links for your weekend:

1. Sheet Pan Turkey Roulade takes care of (almost) all of your Thanksgiving menu, and on one pan no less.
2. Egg salad for breakfast? I’d do it.
3. Remind me to never, ever swim in the ocean again.  Cool.
4. 100% no brainer.
5. What is this magic? Do I need to add it to my Thanksgiving lineup?
6. Cards Against Humanity, yes.
7. I can’t believe people have to even do this, but there it is.
8. Related…
9. I’m not in charge of the turkey this year, but if I were I’d consider this recipe.
