SUMMARY:Advent Day 22: Great Holiday Christmas Cookie Bake Off
DESCRIPTION:The United Bakers on Spadina in Toronto. \n\n\n\nGreat Canadian Holiday Cookie Bake Off\n\n\n\nLast year we had a few rounds of Holiday Cookie Wars\, wherein we tested our favourite recipes up against other recipes we wanted to try. \n\n\n\nToday\, we’re going to do a Holiday Cookie Bake Off in [up to] three rounds\, similar to the Great “National” Bake Off Shows that air here in Canada and Britain.  \n\n\n\nFIRST: The kids will make their favourite cookie from our family recipes or wherever they’d like. And the parents will taste test. \n\n\n\nSECOND: The parents will make the same cookie recipe\, one which they’ve never seen or tried before. And\, the kids will judge them on their proficiency. This year’s recipe will be Bon Appetit’s Black and White and Green Cookies. \n\n\n\nTHIRD: The whole family will get together to make a show-stopper plate of surrealist-inspired holiday sugar or gingerbread cookies or a surrealist gingerbread house! [Whatever that may mean!] \n\n\n\nVIEW THE 2019 ADVENT CALENDAR

SUMMARY:Advent Day 23: Reinvent the Bûche de Noël
DESCRIPTION:Reinvent the Bûche de Noël\n\n\n\nOh\, look at sweet sweet Julia throwing icing sugar on her classic yule log cake\, which has already been covered in meringue-mushrooms and lain in a manger of festive laurels. Over the past 7 years\, I’ve made all sorts of Bûches de Noēl: Chocolate Mint\, Chocolate Malt\, Chocolate Hazelnut\, Cannoli\, my odds-on favourite Lemon with Mascarpone\, Gingerbread\, and traditional Chocolate with Coffee Cream.  \n\n\n\nThis year\, we’re throwing out the cake pan and making a yule log of a different sort: an assemblage of chocolate dipped oatmeal cookie ice-cream sandwiches. That’s right. We’re creating the gourmet version of my favourite California ice-cream novelty: the It’s-It ice-cream sandwich. And then we’re sandwiching the sandwiches all together with an easy whipped cream icing for a yule log like never before!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind the recipe and construction HERE. \n\n\n\nVIEW THE 2019 ADVENT CALENDAR

SUMMARY:NYE FILM FEST 2019: THE BEST HEIST MOVIES OF ALL TIME
DESCRIPTION:After last year’s exceeds-even-our-wildest-expectations Train Movie Marathon\, it took a long time to come up with a theme for this year’s New Year’s Eve Film Fest. Since we’re looking towards 2020\, we thought about roaring-twenties films. But\, Gatsby? Sorry\, no. Then\, we considered movies in which hindsight was less than 20/20\, i.e. films about memory loss or changing the past: Wild Strawberries\, Memento\, Eternal Sunshine…\, Dead Again. Only\, we figured those were a bit too blue for the beginning a new decade. \n\n\n\nThen\, we started listing movies we’ve seen dozens of times and still sit sit down to watch when they show up on tv\, commercials and all. For me\, those guilty pleasures were The Italian Job and the Thomas Crown Affair. From there\, we had our theme: Heist Films. We came up with a short-list of the best heist films of all time as our must-sees for NYE 2019 (with the caveat that the movies had to be films the kids hadn’t seen yet) and a long-list of our all-time favourite heist movies for the family to choose from to forge a 24-hour Heist Movie Marathon. For all we know\, it may be Heist Week or Month or Year…. Welcome 2020! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE DIAMONDS:HEIST FILM MUST-SEES\n\n\n\n[CLASSICS THE KIDS HAVEN’T WATCHED YET]\n\n\n\nBande à part\, Band of Outsiders (1964\, Godard) \n\n\n\nBottle Rocket (1996\, Anderson) \n\n\n\nHell or High Water (2016\, Mackenzie – Revenge heist!) \n\n\n\nInside Man (2006\, Lee) \n\n\n\nOut of Sight (1998\, Soderbergh – Clooney & J. Lo!) \n\n\n\nPoint Break (1991\, Bigelow – Look! A female director!) \n\n\n\nRififi (1955\, Dassin) \n\n\n\nThe Silent Partner (1978\, Duke – It’s Canadian!) \n\n\n\nThe Usual Suspects (1995\, Singer) \n\n\n\nTHE VAULT:MORE OF THE BEST HEIST MOVIES\n\n\n\nBaby Driver (2017\, Wright) \n\n\n\nThe Big Short (2015\, McKay) \n\n\n\nTo Catch a Thief (1955\, Hitchcock) \n\n\n\nCharade (1963\, Donen) \n\n\n\nThe Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009\, Anderson) \n\n\n\nHow to Steal a Million (1966\, Wyler) \n\n\n\nThe Italian Job (2003\, Gray) \n\n\n\nLogan Lucky (2017 Soderbergh) \n\n\n\nOceans Eight (2018\, Ross) \n\n\n\nOceans Eleven (2001\, Soderbergh) \n\n\n\nRogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016\, Edwards) \n\n\n\nSexy Beast (2000\, Glazer) \n\n\n\nThe Sting (1973\, Hill) \n\n\n\nThe Spanish Prisoner (1997\, Mamet) \n\n\n\nThe Thomas Crown Affair (1999\, McTiernan) \n\n\n\nThe Three Musketeers (1973\, Lester) \n\n\n\nTrouble in Paradise (1932\, Lubitsch) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE FEAST:NEW YEAR’S EVE HEIST FILM FARE\n\n\n\nI. PIZZAWhere better to hide the dough than in a pizza box?[Sorry\, just had to…]To keep things simple\, we’re ordering pizza delivery. \n\n\n\nII. MILLIONAIRE’S SHORTBREADAs a special\, make-ahead dessert\, we’ll whip up a batch of Cook’s Illustrated Millionaire’s Shortbread. It’s an amazing forgery in its own right: a giant homemade Twix![You have to get past CI’s paywall to access their recipes\, but you can perform your own heist & nab the whole shebang by watching their youtube video!] \n\n\n\nIII. “INSIDE JOB” COCKTAILSTo go with\, the adults are taking on the “Inside Job.”In a mixing glass sir the following with ice:2 oz Bourbon or Rye 1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liquer1⁄2 oz Simple Syrup1 dash Angostura Bitters1 dash Absinthe Strain over an old fashioned glass loaded with fresh ice.Garnish with cocktail cherries and an orange twist. \n\n\n\nHAPPY NEW YEAR!
