in my house for some reason bread disappears almost the instant it crosses the threshold. It's scary how the kids just devour bread and pretty indiscriminately. The swarms of locusts have nothing on them for sure.
For me personally my latest thing is brie cheese. And in particular that from the Marin Cheese Company. (which I'm eating now...) My wife is worried.
Alton Brown's recipe (Paradise Macaroons) is my all-time favorite. Many people agree...
...with me.
One of my son's teachers got a plate from us last year (2009) that included them. She was so happy to see another plate this Christmas, with extra macaroons, since she liked them so much last year.
My nephew in San Diego waits for these anxiously. They're his favorite.
