Bread Breakers

Loving all of this content to make your Thanksgiving meal prep and execution simple.

Gotta love Food52 for getting real here. 

The Bread Breakers are happily gearing up for Thanksgiving and the ensuing holidays, but we wanted to look ahead to the time of the year when many people decide it’s still worth the effort and expense to send real mail! By USPS! And isn’t it nice to open your mailbox and see a pretty envelope in there among the credit card offers and insurance companies and circulars?

Saveur declared New Jersey “the most edible state.” Melanie grew up in Jersey, and I grew up in a region I like to call Pennsyljersey, given the fact that I could cross the Delaware River and get into Trenton in about ten minutes. The foods Jersey has to offer--from slam-dunk pizza and seafood to succulent Indian food and more--are varied and delicious. And I’m a big fan of this guy for cataloging a ton of them.

“The eatie does have the ability to discern what they want to eat, which seems obvious but is a higher level of thinking than most foodies give them credit for. The eatie can decide if food has gone bad, or will probably taste bad, and often makes judgment based on that criteria. Does it look old? Will not eat. Does it look and smell like it will have a taste that the eatie does not personally enjoy? Will not eat. The biggest thing that the foodie doesn’t recognize about the eatie is that the eatie is not a sheltered simpleton who refuses to acknowledge the finer parts of life. The eatie can enjoy a great meal just as easily as the foodie can. The biggest difference is that the eatie may not tell anyone about it.”
