I’ll admit to enjoying the turn of a phrase, and, “how can fascist pasta look so tasty,” sprung to mind when I read an article in Atlas Obscura about Marinetti pasta. Filippo Marinetti, a fascist futurist poet, tried to have pasta banned from Italy in the early 20th century. Mamma Mia! Instead of succeeding in...
Out here in DC, we’ve had mixed weather. Our January’s and February’s are usually cold, but for whatever reason it’s been balmy this winter season. When it’s not in the 40’s or 50’s, it’s been rainy.

For the last three or four years, I’ve been making an aged egg nog and serving it to friends at Christmas parties and holiday events. It has always been a crowd pleasing drink, and I’ve gotten a lot of requests for the recipe. I think this is the best eggnog recipe I’ve ever used, and...
