Items that I’m making for various holiday gatherings over the next week:
Dry-Brined Turkey with Roasted Onions (Smitten Kitchen)
I have never made this turkey recipe so I can’t vouch for it, but I’ve been a Smitten Kitchen fan for years. Also, this past year we made a few recipes that used Gochujang sauce (a fermented chili paste) and we really liked it. I don’t think it will make the turkey spicy or “Asian-food” flavored, it will just give it a nice deep “Umami” flavor.
Arkansas Green Beans (Bubba Pie)
Dijon-Roasted Brussels Sprouts (Recipe Center)
Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow Topping (Cook’s Country)
Apple Fritter Cake (King Arthur Baking)
Citrus-Cranberry Tart (The Kitchn)
Cranberry Rosemary Shrub Cocktail (Good Life Eats)

I haven’t had to stop a podcast to write down so many quotes in a long time like I did with Kate Bowler’s recent interview with Priya Parker, author of The Art of Gathering.

I binge-watched through a couple of playlists recently. The first is a series of videos of vocal artist Natalie Weiss giving private coaching sessions.
The second is a series of videos of MLT-trained teachers demonstrating how they “teach a tune.” Mostly this is geared toward Music Education but I still find it inspiring and helpful to see their process.
