First Panettone

With Thanksgiving a week away, I guess we can declare the holidays officially upon us. Brought home the first panettone of the season yesterday. I know some people see them as too fruitcake adjacent to enjoy. I don’t care. Can’t resist the orange peel-raisin-custard notes whether toasted with a bit of butter or as a base for French toast.

And any fellow denizens of the Apple who wandered by no doubt spotted the Greek diner to-go coffee cup. No, I’m still very much in NorCal. Found ceramic versions recently that faithfully recreate the classic even down to the side seam. Had to have them. Once a New Yorker always a New Yorker, right?
