Can you tell that I’m gearing The Daily Eat towards the holidays? I thought so. Say hello to Cranberries Week.
I love chicken salad. All kinds, one and all. In fact, it’s probably my favorite sort of sandwich. This version – Cranberry-Walnut Chicken Salad – has me drooling. And thinking about making it as a turkey salad after Thanksgiving.
Four years ago Time photographer Callie Shell met Barack Obama backstage when she was covering presidential candidate John Kerry. She sent her editor more photographs of Obama than Kerry. When asked why, she said, “I do not know. I just have a feeling about him. I think he will be important down the road.” Her first photo essay on Obama was two and half years ago. She has stuck with him ever since.
On the campaign bus driving through New Hampshire, 1/6/2008.
Senator Obama was doing press interviews by telephone in a holding room between events. Sometime later as he was getting ready to begin his event, he asked me if I was photographing his shoes. When I said yes, he told me that he had already had them resoled once since he entered the race a year earlier. Providence, R.I., 3/1/2008.
It was primary morning in New Hampshire. Barack and Michelle Obama had been campaigning separately all week. In the first few months of 2008 their private time seemed to consist of a few crossover moments in back hallways before rallies. This moment was rare and you could tell they just loved being able to sit together. Jan. 8, 2008.
Today is a perfectly November kind of day. Chilly. Overcast with the sun peeking through every once in awhile. And I’m hoping my weekend turns out perfectly November as well.
This Weekend: • finish writing out Christmas cards • work on Christmas gifts • make my mom’s stew recipe • do a little Christmas shopping • catch up on house work • recharge for next week
I love breakfast foods, but I rarely eat anything more than a bowl of cereal or piece of toast in the AM. My favorite is breakfast for dinner. Mainly because I’m more awake and able to safely operate appliances. Can’t wait to try out these sweet potato waffles. And get this – they’re healthy!
I’m wearing my first sweater of the season today which means hats, scarves and gloves can’t be that far behind. Which is good. Because I have what some might call a fascination (RE: obsession) with them. This pair of capped fingerless gloves is at the top of my list currently. Love the length!
In this recipe the sweet potatoes are underbaked to keep slightly firm, then are diced and combined with green onions, cranberries and a touch of spice to make a sweet yet savory Sweet Potato and Cranberry Hash. Almost like a cold weather version of potato salad!
Thank You Too. Because it’s a highly-underused phrase and everyone needs to say it a little more often. Check out all the different ways and pass it on.
