Cook the Book: 'Rose's Heavenly Cakes'

I eat a lot of cake, so I can't possibly identify a single best slice. However, the Sweet & Salty cake at Baked—chocolate cake, salted caramel, and chocolate-caramel ganache, topped with fleur de sel—is in my top five. I couldn't stop thinking about that cake, for weeks after I tasted it. Since then, I've made it myself three or four times; it's always a hit. The recipe is in the Baked cookbook, and on a couple of websites.

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?

Egg in the hole! My dad made it in some way that involved sautéing the bread with chopped onions. I wouldn't eat fried eggs as a kid, but the little oniony circle of bread that was left over was a special treat.

Goofy kitchen appliances (please don't buy that for me!)

Not an appliance, but last year my mom got me this plastic onion-shaped container that's intended to store a cut onion. I got rid of mine, but she dutifully uses hers. I just do not understand it.

I also received, as farewell presents from the worst job I've ever had, an assortment of gadgets from the Bodum store that included a mini-chopper supposedly for herbs and garlic, a milk frother that I did try to use for hot chocolate but that was too spazzy, a measuring cup that broke instantly, and more! The best part of the gift was the tote bag it all came in. And its commemoration of my last day at that job.

Cook the Book: 'The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without'

Chinese broccoli!

Or maybe spinach, delivered via various types of Middle Eastern spinach pie.

Chinese Food, Christmas Day, and the Jews: Where Can We Go for Old-School Chinese?

Huh. Soup dumplings and Lion’s Head is exactly what we ordered (plus pickled cabbage, scallion pancakes, turnip cakes, fried pork dumplings, fried rice cake with “a little bit of everything” . . . and a big plate of Chinese broccoli, to keep us alive).

My team’s challenge this Christmas was not how to find good Cantonese or Chinese-American food, but how to find any restaurant that didn’t have at least a half-hour wait (this was around 6 pm). In the end we went to Goodies, because at least there was room to stand comfortably until a table opened up—unlike at Noodletown, where the vestibule was jam-packed. No doubt this was because of your post.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club

Crisp, usually, but it depends on what I'm eating it with—e.g., if you have a crisp waffle, sometimes you want your bacon chewy, for contrast.

What will you have on Christmas Morning?

The only definite item on the menu is hot chocolate, which my parents used to make the night before and place in a Thermos next to the tree. It kept my brother and me busy while our parents got to sleep a few minutes longer.

Besides that, I might have a slice of panettone and an Asian pear.
