Warning: These are Addictive

Looking for another item to add to your Thanksgiving dessert buffet? Wow your guests with Honey Bars! This southern delicacy is a delectable combination of sugar, honey, cinnamon, and pecans, topped with sweet vanilla icing. Aside from the mouthwatering concoction of ingredients, this baked good is rather simple to make.   Here’s what you’ll need to churn out this dessert dish: 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup oil (preferably corn oil) 1/4 cup honey 1 tsp vanilla 1 egg 2 cups self rising flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 scant teaspoon baking soda 1/2 cup chopped pecans 1 cup powdered sugar 1 tablespoon water 2 tablespoons butter (melted) 1 teaspoon vanilla    Directions: Mix sugar, oil, honey, vanilla, and egg in a bowl until smooth. Next, dump in the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and chopped pecans and stir again.     After that, bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes – it will rise and fall. While baking, mix powdered sugar, water, butter and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk together.     While warm, spread with mixture from previous step.     Finally, cut into bars or squares when still warm.     Serve and enjoy!     A special […]

Thanksgiving fine china

Save Time and Set your Table Early

You already have so much on your plate (no pun intended), while you prepare for guests to arrive for Thanksgiving dinner…set your table a day early and you’ll thank me later! No matter how many people you are cooking for, setting the table takes time. Why devote valuable minutes to folding napkins and stacking plates, Thanksgiving morning, when you could be turkey brining or taste testing your side dishes?   Setting the table is like putting together an outfit. It doesn’t matter if you are matching a pair of pants with a blouse, or napkin rings and plate chargers, the same principles apply! I decided to keep it simple this year and add only a few seasonal trinkets and name cards, to the table. I did not want to compete with the china’s natural beauty and elegance.   The Vintage Jewel 5-piece place setting by Lenox is a beautiful contrast of  blue, platinum and 24 karat gold against classic white china. Adorn your table with a refined tablecloth or slip an understated charger beneath your plates and you’re ready to entertain. With little to no effort, the Vintage Jewel collection and  flatware will regally transform any dining room.   Rather […]

Make a Wise Decision

After reading an article, last fall, on Thrillist, featuring Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen, this place has been on my list of sandwich joints to try. Well this past weekend we finally made our way over to 3150 24th Street – the heart of culture in the the Mission District to indulge in some Jewish “soul food.” Offering an expansive menu of food items for breakfast, lunch and dinner, here you’ll find your matzoh ball soup, potato pancakes (latkes), pastrami or corned beef reubens, decadent club sandwiches and braised brisket.   While waiting for my turkey and pastrami “facon” (fake bacon) club, I started out with the most flavorful chocolate babka I’ve ever eaten. It was HUGE and could easily be shared between two people.     Already wowed after my first glimpse of Wise Sons’ lip smacking goodness, the club sandwich and fries shortly arrived. Being a Jewish deli, you won’t find pork served here, so in lieu of bacon, the club is comprised of: smoked turkey, pastrami fried like bacon, avocado, tomato, lettuce, and horseradish on challah toast. Normally I prefer a warm pressed sandwich, but this one was delish and the pastrami facon was out of this world! […]
