Link 124: Kara Brown is a genius

Speaking of onions, her recipe also calls for a “Spanish onion.” I don’t know what that is so I played “Despacito” while they simmered and hoped that would do the trick.

One Great–But Very Bad–Drink Suggestion, and One Legitimately Great Drink Suggestion

I love that The Pool recommends a French 75 as a brunch drink. Personally, I love a French 75–but drinking one always makes me feel like I’ve been punched in the face. So good luck to you, lady, if you dare try this.

I’m wildly late making a holiday drink suggestion, but I fucking love this Smoky Sage Punch from Serious Eats. I might possibly know from experience that you can consume several of these before you start to feel a little punched, as it were.

‘Tis the Season for Recipes

Here are two things I’d like to try making:

Mushroom Toad in the Hole with Onion Gravy;
This simple-but-divine lasagna (actually I want the whole cookbook, even though I think cookbooks are sort of over).

Here are two recipes I’ve made before, and can vouch for:

These Chantilly Potatoes with Parmesan Crust are just fucking bonkers good. Mashed potatoes turned up to 11. Zero regrets; planning to make these again this year.
My sister-in-law E and I made these Eggnog Cups last year. The end results delicious, and it’s a great recipe to work on as a duo.
