"Spoonable" Egg Nog
Angela Capalbo of Elizabeth, N.J., an old family friend, calls this “spoonable” egg nog. Although this Thanksgiving, when our two families got together, including three grandmas, I could have sworn everyone was calling it “spoon egg nog.” It’s just great thick eggnog you eat with a spoon, from a glass. It is made with raw eggs, but in the many years that both the Capalbo family and Schwartz family have been enjoying this and serving it to friends, we’ve never had a problem. [more]

Barilla No-Bake Lasagnes
I hosted a remote broadcast luncheon from the atmospheric F.illi Ponte Ristorante (39 Desbrosses Street, (212) 226-4621) in Tribeca last Thursday. Everyone loved the lasagna that Chef Gianluca Rizza created using Barilla’s Oven Ready Lasagne sheets. The group had fun choosing which their favorite was. I think they’re all excellent. [more]
