TFW you find out the beloved Chinese restaurant of your childhood was also a favorite of Henry Kissinger, sigh.
My beloved Yenching Palace, a now-shuttered Chinese restaurant in Cleveland Park, DC.

Thank you to @hellgatenyc.com for sharing the news that really matters (to me): the passing global decorative robotics legend Lou Nasti. A true New Yorker, a true Christmas Character, and the subject of one of my all-time favorite stories for @bkmag.bsky.social: www.bkmag.com/2016/12/08/n...

This year's Christmas cookies. 🥰
A grid of 12 different varieties of holiday cookies, all photographed on the same plate. From top left to bottom right, cheesy biscotti, linzer "blends," gingerbread, ricotta clouds, sesame chocolate chip, cranberry lemon bars, sugar cookies, chocolate peppermint bars, chocolate grammies, macaroons, speculaas, and peanut butter cookies.

This weekend, coming to a Bluesky near you. 🍪🍪🍪
My aunt Chris has been making cookies for Christmas since before I can remember, first a handful of recipes for the family to enjoy before we all left for mass on Christmas Eve, then more — a lot more — at a standalone event a week or more before Christmas Day. In different years, she’s overseen as many as 14 varieties baked in a single day (using a single oven), by as many as five bakers (plus children), to serve as many as 60 (or more) people. For the record: We have never even come close to running out of cookies. While the result is undoubtedly a colorful and delicious cornucopia of sugar and butter, what’s most impressive to me is the logistics of the marathon baking day itself. That is, wrangling the people, mixing bowls, ingredients, oven temperatures, spatulas, and cooling racks so that everything is done in time for our dinner of takeout Peruvian chicken, yet another family tradition. Key to our scrappy, one-day-a-year cookie processing plant are simple, quick cookie recipes like these. For every batch of pâte à choux, there’s also a peanut butter cookie we could make with our eyes closed. Lucky for us — and you — we don’t have to choose. Bake them all!

One thing I can say for Bodkin is that it gets 1 out of 1 McArdles (the name McArdle is mentioned at least one time).
“And the McArdles won’t stop chasing, ever.” “The fuckin’ McArdles.” “It’s them. The McArdles.” “The McArdles took everything from me.”

At the Edward Gorey Museum today.
NY ❤️ TO READ poster depicting a veiled bear in ice skates holding a plate of cookies. The bear hands a single cookie to a small boy in old-fashioned dress standing on top of a nearby ledge. The poster’s text, illustrated on a banner, reads: “A Future Unremembered Poet of the Seventeenth Century accepts a Hazelnut Cookie from the Great Veiled Bear”
