And the Internet Shall Bring Us Chocolates
If you’ve recently shopped for fine chocolates in Paris, London, San Marino, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Istanbul, or Beirut, you might already know of Patchi, a company lauded for its delicious, all-natural delights.
Spritz Cookies
My wife’s family isn’t Scandinavian, but Spritz cookies are supposed to be. Still, her grandmother passed down this recipe (it’s even in her handwriting, if since scanned and shipped about via email), and whether it came from the nearby settlement of Swedes in Kansas or a church cookbook, it’s still one fine way to celebrate the season.
The Seelbach Cocktail
It’s practically New Year’s Eve and simple champagne won’t do; you need something with a bit more elan and oomph. Enter the Seelbach Cocktail from a hotel of the same name in Louisville, Kentucky, via Ted Haigh, aka Dr. Cocktail’s handy Vintage Spirits & Forgotten Cocktails.
Ethiopian Night
Two West Coast food traditions have nothing on Ethiopia. Seattle-and the rest of the world-got beat to coffee by hundreds of years, and while San Francisco is famous for its sourdough, Ethiopia’s injera-a spongy, flatbread sourdough that is central to its cuisine-is centuries older.

Sur la Table has the useless Pro Electric Martini Shaker/Stirrer gizmo on sale at $99.95 discounted from $190, but I’d say that price has a decimal place to give before this shaker can even become the Singing Bass of 2007, something worth a laugh before it gets jammed in a closet or regifted to Uncle Herbie.
30 Meals, 1,000 Dishes
Out of boredom and the desire to challenge myself with a simple cooking experiment came the idea to test my stubborn persistence: make a unique homemade dish every day for a month. To bring this one zany idea to fruition I needed:
Anchor Christmas Ale
Even if the season descends too soon, there’s no harbinger of the holidays more welcomed at our house than the release of Anchor Christmas Ale. Those clever brewers in San Francisco who make Anchor Steam and the one-time hops benchmark Liberty Ale (remember those simpler times?) are releasing their 33rd annual ale with a pine tree label and bit of resinous kick, to boot.
