Leading up to the Super Bowl, it’s only fitting that I write an article about the Buccaneers’ favorite run concept, Duo.

See, the news isn’t always bad in my newsletter.
Dutch Haven, the beloved stop in Pennsylvania’s Amish country that closed almost a year ago, is now back in business — at least part-time.
They announced on Facebook recently that they will be keeping hours Friday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Hello! Despite living in Canada for about a decade, I have yet to taste some iconic Canadian foods. The Dutchie, a yeast-raised, raisin-studded, square-shaped doughnut, is one such item. It was popularized by Tim Horton’s, the beloved Canadian coffeehouse chain, as one of the two original baked goods on the menu. Beyond this, I haven’t been able to find much information on the Dutchie’s invention. There’s likely some connection to the Dutch doughnut oliebollen; though oliebollen are made from a wetter, more batter-like dough compared to the enriched yeast bread dough that forms the base for Dutchies.

A hidden gem of a film is Good Bye, Lenin! If you’ve not seen it then you really should and it’s set during the fall of the Berlin Wall. The protagonists’ mother is taken ill and slips into a coma. When she awakes the protagonist is told that his mother needs to avoid any shocks or upsets if she is to recover. Given that she is a committed socialist the son realises that the downfall of Communism in Europe and the reunification of Germany is likely to cause her a great deal of distress.
East/West Chicken Wings - by Jeff Ganger
2024-12-02
These wings are a blend of Moroccan, Korean, Mexican and American seasonings. Each seasoning brings warmth, heat, salt, sweet, and spicy overtones. Try some with just the dry rub on them, and some with the sauce, or enjoy them with both, which is what I recommend.
Wings:
2 lbs. Chicken wings
2 tbsp. Baking powder
1 tbsp. Corn starch
Parchment paper Dry rub:
2 tsp. Intrepid Bay Marrakesh seasoning blend
I love almost everything about sufganiyot - aka Hanukkah jelly doughnuts.
I love that they hail from Poland, where Polish Jews called them ponchik, even though everyone around them called them paczki, and fried them in oil rather than lard to keep them kosher. (Polish Jewish immigrants brought their beloved ponchik to Israel, where the pastries were renamed sufganiyot and became immensely popular around Hanukkah.)
I love sufganiyot’s soft, bouncy texture.
