Christmas Quickies
- Via Warren Ellis: Merry Xmas From Ben Templesmith
Via the Boston Globe: The Scrooges, Boston's finest Christmas-themed Stooges cover band. How can you not love a band that bills itself as "like the Stooges, only much drunker"?
Several favorite episodes from This American Life:
The This American Life Holiday Spectacular (2006),
The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Suit (1999), and
A Very Special Sedaris Christmas (2002).

Baking
Finished up with some of our Christmas baking: we tried the whole wheat and honey variant of the Cooks' Illustrated recipe for No-Knead Bread, v. 2.0. The results look pretty good. Breadbasketcase and Best Room in the House wrote about their experience with the recipe (and the former has some nice pix of a very pretty loaf).
