So many “best of” lists abound in newspapers, SM, magazines, etc. this time of year.
Prompted by @Desert-Dan ’s excellent question here I’d love to hear about your favorite meals, dishes, and other random food thangs you had. I had to think long & hard about this, as food seemed to take a bit of a backseat for us in 2025.
Probably The Best Thing I ate was my PIC’s recent pistachio ice cream
the mortadella / stracciatella / pistachio pesto sammich from Fratelli Burgio in Ortigia, Sicilia
hiramasa with carrot and brown butter at Vernick in Philly
and the chicken broth I recently made (my best “effort” ever).
I won’t limit your responses to The Best, or even top 3 — I just look forward to hearing about your culinary exploits / favorites
I asked Sunshine about her favorite, her choice was Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas.
I’m going to assume Neighbor #2 ’s choice would be ground beef hot pockets – she loves these things.
As for me… I’ll need to ponder a bit and go through my 2025 pictures.
