Sure, you picked up a book or two last year. You tore through God Is Not Great, nodding in agreement along the way. You read Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows on the Metro, brandishing the cover proudly and caring little that anyone saw you. You read a lot of graphic novels.

My friends, what you see pictured above are two things: a yeasted bakery-style sweet bun and a tray of mystery baked goods. The first item is one of the many delightful things I made in my kitchen this past weekend thanks to my newest baking book, A Passion for Baking, by Marcy Goldman.

Tomorrow morning marks the beginning of final exams at school and, ungodly amounts of studying aside, you know what that means: comfort food… and lots of coffee. Stuffed pizza pie, banana bundt cake, spiced cream coffee, pumpkin spice lattes, chocolate … anything yummy, sweet or caffeinated is especially welcome in my home this time of year.
With final exams just around the corner and schedules kicking into (even higher) high gear, this is the perfect time to post my favorite “portable power” snack: Alton Brown’s homemade granola bars. My husband and I discovered these pocket sized treats while watching an old episode of “Good Eats” and we’ve been hooked ever since.

Delicious Magazine January 2008 Posted by Editor December 24, 2007 Posted by Andrew Barrow on Paper Palate.

One for the Road Looks Ahead: Ten Travel Books on Tap for 2008 by Kelly Amabile Dec 31st 2007 @ 3: PM As the year draws to a close, instead of compiling a list of favorite books from 2007, I've decided to focus this last post on what's to come.

LAist is doing lots of writing about the top ten albums of 2007 or the top books of 2007 or even new year's resolutions. Unfortunately I am much more lame than all of them and not only can I not come up with my top ten recommendations for anything, I can't even come up with ten things that I like.
