November 9, 2018

Two weeks until Thanksgiving! Where did the time go. I think we're going out to eat this year; my family gathered at my house last weekend, for a pre-holiday get-together. My brother Drew smoked a pork butt for 14 hours; I'm going to see if I can finagle the recipe out of him. It was delicious, cut-with-a-fork tender.

I've come close to perfecting my mom and grandmother's gingerbread recipe; I made it for the family Saturday and we all agreed that the flavor is spot on, the texture is still a little off. So poor me, I'll have to make that a few more times, just for testing purposes, you know, and see if I can get it completely there. If so, you'll see the recipe in the January/February issue of Louisiana Kitchen & Culture.

Speaking of, what's your ultimate comfort food? That's the theme of the next issue, and I'm still finalizing the recipe list. If you'd like to see a specific recipe, or better yet, if you've got an awesome comfort food recipe you're willing to share, drop me a line. But do it quickly, because as always, deadlines loom.

Those of you who've given gift subscriptions to the magazine in years past should have received your holiday list from us within the last week. If you've not seen it yet, give us a call: 504-208-9959.

If you've not given gift subscriptions, give that some consideration this year. Your gift recipient will think of you fondly every time a magazine drops in their mailbox.

Enjoy this week's recipes, share them with family and friends, and, as always, let me know what's on your mind.

Best regards,

Susan
