10 Essential Books For Cocktail Lovers: Vintage and Modern Classics
We also love Vintage Spirits & Forgotten Cocktails!
Though for 2014 and beyond, we are HUGE fans of the Death & Co cocktail book. I like it even better than PDT's. It's organized by spirit rather than alphabetically, which I find much easier to use when you're wanting to figure out a new drink to try.
Sam Sifton's Basic Cranberry Sauce
This is now a staple on our Thanksgiving table. I absolutely love it (and this coming from a person who honestly usually prefers canned cranberry sauce).

The Real Reason Sugar Has No Place in Cornbread
Very interesting article! Thanks so much for the enlightenment! I'm definitely one of those southerners that uses some flour and a pinch of sugar (though less than my mother uses), but I would LOVE to try cornbread made the "old fashioned" way with stone-ground cornmeal!
Win a Copy of 'Salad Samurai'
couscous salad with vegetables, feta, and a vinaigrette mixed in!
I LOVE the Neptune hot buttered lobster roll (and pretty much anything else they make). If you don't want to wait 2 hrs, just go early and preferably on a week night for a MUCH shorter wait. We liked to get there at 5, put our name on the list, go hang out in the Rose Kennedy Greenway or walk around the North End, and then usually within a half hour, we would be seated!
