Cookie Swap (with Prizes!), Dining Guide, and Recipes. Plus: Not an Excuse, Just an Explanation

November

My apologies for not posting much these past few days. I was on vacation, but also I’ve been working hard behind the scenes on a few cool projects.

First, this Friday, we’ll have an expanded, pull-out dining section in our Weekend section. We’ve got suggestions on where to make holiday reservations at the most beautifully decorated restaurants in the region. Buy the paper on Friday to have these great recommendations.

Perhaps you’ve heard of our holiday cookie swap contest? Well we just got some very cool prizes from Chef Central, which has also agreed to host our event. Submit your cookie recipe at LoHud.com/cookieswap for a chance to swap with other readers and win:

First place: a 5-quart KitchenAid Stand Mixer ($299.99 value)
Second place: a $100 Chef Central Gift Card
Third place: a 9-speed KitchenAid Digital Hand Mixer ($79.99 value)

And finally, there are two great features I’ve been working on for the JN in the coming weeks, including some back-to-basics Thanksgiving recipes for tomorrow’s paper, and, coming in December, a special drink series called the 12 Days of Cocktails.

Thanks for being patient while I put in my time on the print side of things!

Hi Liz,
Quick question. The holdiay cookie is not necessarily focussing on Thanksgiving or Christmas events, is it?
Thanks
Sri

What is the deadline for the cookie swap recipe?

Hi Sri and Phyllis.
Sri, no the holiday cookie contest is not focusing on any particular event… it’s an event in itself. If yours is one of the 12 cookies chosen, you’ll participate in a swap to be held at Chef Central on Dec. 7.

Phyllis, the deadline is the Friday after Thanksgiving: Nov 27. I’ll make that clear the next time I post about it. Thanks.

Hi Liz,
Thanks, got it. I actually wanted to say Thanksgiving or Christmas theme instead of event.
Regards
