Friday Round-up

This monthโ€™s Providers column forย Bon Appetit:ย Itโ€™s Beginning to Taste a Lot Like Christmasย (Photo credit above: Columbia/Kobal)

Dearย Holderness Family,ย Please adopt me. Thanks! Love, Jenny.

If I canโ€™t make thisย Animated World Film Festivalย (which I first learned aboutย here) I will definitely make a point to put some of these kidsโ€™ movies on my 2014 T0-See list.

A book you will be hearing about a lot in 2014.ย (Gonna get going on my advanced copy over the holidays.)

Do you suffer fromย Instagram Envy?

To categorize under the rarely deployed title โ€œUnanimously Loved By All at Family Table:โ€ย Brown Sugar & Mustard-Glazed Salmon.ย It took 20 minutes and rocked Abbyโ€™s world.

Last week, I reviewedย a few booksย for theย Times.

Our soon-to-be-annual holiday ritual: A glass of this with Andy in one of our more favorite barsย in NYC.

There are two new posts on Nerd Alert, my daughterโ€™s book blog:ย The Giver and, hot off the presses, George Oโ€™Connorโ€™s Aphrodite. (By the way, Oโ€™Connor is half way through his Olympian series and a stack of those first six would probably make the right kid extremely happy on Christmas morning.)

My friends Sue and Alan are having their annual holiday open house this weekend and while Iโ€™m excited to hang out with them, Iโ€™m really excited to hang out with Sueโ€™sย Mocha Butter Balls.

A one-size-fits-all present for any family. (Forgive me.)

Have a good weekend!

    hey there โ€“ read this column in BA. I thought there was a little line that there would be a link to the carrot recipe online, but at the time it wasnโ€™t working. Do you know if that recipe is online somewhere?
