Newsletter Saturday: making perfect stock, the easy way; a snowy walk thru Greenwich Village, a bracing cocktail, book and watching recs and more!
hey bakers and pastry chefs: a reader wants to make my snickerdoodles less crisp and more chewy. I think adding more fat, not more sugar will do this but this is not my area.
ratio: 1/2 cup (55g) butter, 1 cup (200 g) sugar, 1 cup (140 g) flour, 1 egg.
Travel notes from San Miguel, how to make schmaltz, a new cocktail, book, and movie recommendations, and more in today’s newsletter!
She was the best!
How many people out there know what I was making if I told you it was called Party Chicken?
Very cool. Thank!
Oh, and the Saturday newsletter went up in case you missed it! Cova and Mezcal, travel and books and movies! ruhlman.substack.com/p/hello-mexi...
I’m still looking for an expert on elderberry wine. can anybody direct me? This is when I miss the old Twitter. I used to get a reply in hours on a question like this.
I’m really disappointed. It’s going on a print! I’m determined to keep the information out there. Thanks for making the soup! We made it just the other night as well. But just for two, using three large onions, about the pound and a half.
Looking for an expert in elderberry wine, not a grower or winemaker. Anyone know anyone?
Thanks for all, scott. 🙏🙏🙏
Looking for a great Chinese food supply store in lower Manhattan. Any suggestions?
Thank you. What tools do you use to curate?
Really kind of you. Thanks.
Really unsure whether or not to commit to Bluesky or not! I really miss the old Twitter. And I can’t imagine Bluesky is quite the same. Would be grateful for people’s thoughts.

Fun to watch @ruhlman.bsky.social judging an omelette contest between @jimmyfallon.bsky.social and Black Thought. Spoiler--Fallon didn't win. www.youtube.com/watch?v=23ix...
It was so much fun writing this piece about NYC and me then and now. memoirland.substack.com/p/you-may-as...

Looks like Bluesky is the way to go in terms of a Twitter replacement. Overwhelming support on my FB query. No more threads and no more nasty X commentary.
My user name on Twitter/X was mysteriously changed from ruhlman to MichaelRuh4528. The process of deactivating forever my account, they’ve made too cumbersome. Will simply delete the app. Now the question is Threads or Bluesky. Thoughts?
A friend is asking for good non-touristy restrain San Juan. Any suggestions?
Always!
