Five fun foodie finds to fuel your Friday
All the Best Ways to Cook and Eat a Porg, the Cutest Alien in Star Wars: The Last Jedi [GQ]
Don’t know how you’re going to get through the holidays? GQ has your back! Wondering what to make for Christmas dinner? Roast porg sounds like a winner. Need a snack afor that long car ride to see your in-laws? Porg rinds it is! And the “child mother reunion” – that sounds pretty damn Christmassy to me. If I learned anything from the latest Star Wars movie it’s that I have less empathy than a Wookiee, because I would eat every last one of these (does Southwest have flights to a galaxy far far away?)
Holiday Cookie Generator [Washington Post]
Looking for the perfect cookie to bring to your holiday party Saturday night? No problem. Whether you’re a fruit fan or more of a nut guy, a chocoholic or wanting to go savory – the Washington Post’s cookie generator will help you sort through hundreds of cookie recipes to find just the right thing. Have dietary restrictions? No problem – you can also filter by “vegan” and “gluten-free.”
What Santa Won’t Tell You: Reindeer Meat Is Delicious [Bon Appétit]
Smoked Dasher, grilled Dancer, poached Prancer, roast Vixen. Cured Comet, fried Cupid, broiled Donner, baked Blitzen. And the most famous recipe of all? Rudolph tartare. Seriously, though – in Norway, you’ll find all of these on the menu, and they sound delicious (why yes, I did intentionally separate #1 and #3 so that I didn’t sound like a psychopath).
The 2017 Hater’s Guide To The Williams-Sonoma Catalog [Adequate Man]
If you need to take a minute away from despairing over the state of our nation, the state of your Christmas shopping, the state of your waste line, or whatever else you’re despairing about this holiday season and laugh about how pretentious and commercial the holidays have become – head to the 2017 Hater’s Guide. Keep reading, because this gets funnier as you go. Seriously, I peed my pants at least twice and it was worth it.
The Best Cheese for Your Zodiac Sign [The Kitchn]
Science says you only have the capacity to absorb and remember a limited number of things in any given week… so obviously the best cheese for your zodiac sign needs to be one of them. This is very important and insightful. Take me, a gemini, for example: “People born in this month are complex and have many layers, but they’re also huge softies. They are affectionate and gentle and can be giving when they want to. That’s why chèvre is the perfect match for this star sign.” See, just because I want to eat porg and reindeer doesn’t mean that I am a heartless Krampus.
