Happy Hanukkah
We're in the midst of the Festival of Lights... one more reason to cook and eat great food. Check out the New York Times' Q an A with Jewish foodie Joan Nathan, as well a slideshow of some favorite Hanukkah dishes. 

Give and Receive
Finding the perfect gift can be stressful. That's why it's a good idea to check out your favorite magazine or website's holiday gift guide. Editors receive tons of sample goods all year long, and they've got their finger on the pulse of what's new and unique. I love Delta Sky Magazine's Globetrotter gift guide (they've also put together a guide for gadget gurus, kids, culinistas and more). 

For ideas of what not to buy, check out this assortment of foodie crap from Jillian at Food Network Humor.
