Important matters first: my brother-in-law returned from Japan with these Kit Kat Santas, and my first thought was, Why does Japan always have cooler stuff than us?<\/em> But then I learned that we have Kit Kat Santas too\u2014at Walmart, on Amazon\u2014and then I was bummed that my fantasy about the perfection of Japan had been spoiled. Desire is illusory.<\/p>\n

We do have Teddie\u2019s Apple Cake<\/a>, which reminded me how much I like a traditional, fully-loaded 1970s fruit-and-nut cake.<\/p>\n

When you have an e-commerce company, it\u2019s like coaching a sports team. Every day, you try out new players\u2014that is, products\u2014and see how they do. Behind the scenes, there\u2019s a lot of calling new plays and chatter among the staff. Sometimes there\u2019s bellyaching (\u201cWhy didn\u2019t the Reel we did perform?\u201d) and there\u2019s certainly plenty of Monday morning quarterbacking (\u201cThe photos should have shown the handle feature!\u201d). And on good days, it feels like watching the Kansas City Chiefs crisply move the ball down the field to score, time after time.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, we sent out an email and posted a Reel about a whipped cream canister<\/a> that you can use to make mountains of fluffy cream. By mid-morning, I got a text from a colleague, \u201cWe are selling so many of these whipped cream canisters. It\u2019s wild.\u201d I checked our sales dashboard, and got that giddy feeling that happens only when we find a product that we think is great, that we think you\u2019ll love, and then you do! Fairly often, this doesn\u2019t happen. (Like this<\/a> time and this<\/a> time.) For the whipped cream canister, the stars aligned. If you haven\u2019t yet seen it, here it is<\/a>. Get in on the fun. We\u2019re all making peppermint whipped cream for our hot chocolate this year!<\/p>\n

The next one I\u2019m betting on is a water bottle that can carbonate your water on the go. Watch for it!<\/p>\n

\u2026 that, today, Food52 has exclusive one-day early access to the 4-quart Staub Cocotte sale. Here<\/a>. There, I cooperated!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re in it. I was reminded of this on recent trips to San Francisco and Sag Harbor, where the pastry mojo is revving high. I sent my friend Liz a photo of the black sesame croissant loaves from Juniper<\/a> in San Francisco, and she immediately texted back a photo of a mini cardamom croissant loaf from Saint Bread<\/a> in Seattle. The croissant loaf is no small undertaking, but for stouthearted weekend bakers, here\u2019s<\/a> a recipe.<\/p>\n

Breads are generally in a pretty good place, too. For Thanksgiving, you can\u2019t go wrong with Nea\u2019s milk bread buns<\/a>. But In case you want to shake things up, try folding some pepitas into your focaccia dough and layering on some butternut squash.<\/p>\n

East Fork Pottery<\/a>, our friends in Asheville, North Carolina, who were hit hard by Hurricane Helene, surprised us all and went ahead with the opening of their new store in Brooklyn. Here\u2019s to resilience!

There\u2019s Mud<\/a> nearby, as well as Michele Varian<\/a>, Assembly Line<\/a>, and Toast<\/a>. Add it to your travel list!<\/p>\n

I ended my hustle-and-bustle week with a meeting at Union Square Hospitality Group\u2019s offices, in Manhattan, where this poster hangs. The small text reads: \u201cThe road to success is paved with mistakes well-handled.\u201d Over the weekend, I went for an evening walk with Tad, and the moon won the week.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to taking it all in\u2014have a wonderful week!<\/p>\n
