Do We Have to Discuss Oprah

Or can we please just talk about cookies??

Friday Thread: Don’t Make Me Write About Oprah

So I was ALL SET to write a nice, cheery Friday Thread about holiday food. I’m planning my Christmas menu this weekend and certain parts of it are on autopilot (I’m going to braise a leg of lamb probably this way) but it’s also fun to get excited about some new side dishes or treats. (Do we need a hot chocolate bar! Surely no and yet!) And I wanted to hear about your favorite holiday food memories, and get links to your recipes—for any winter holiday, to be clear. December is a lot, and I wanted today to be easy and cozy, and for me to not have to think very hard.

But then Oprah happened (again).
