Dear readers, As I write this I'm bundled against the chill, sweater and scarf keeping me cozy. (Plus two shirts, wool socks, and well — you get the picture.) It's been cold across the country this week; we all need warming food and drink to keep us going. Here are three recipes that just might fit the bill: Buffalo Chili (you may want to read Carrie Floyd's piece on cooking with buffalo, first, or by all means, use beef if you prefer); Chai Tea, which is as nice to cup in your hands as it is to drink; and Suzanne’s Fudge Bars, inspired by Glenn Andrews' book Mood Food. If any of the books in our recent post on 2009 [/articles/culinate8/2009foodbooksbyportlanders?utmsource=NL20091209&utmmedium=email&utmcontent=Authorssuggestions&utmcampaign=FoodbooksPDXauthors "Portland food books"] pique your interest, please consider buying them through Culinate as part of our [/articles/ourtable/FoodBankDonation?utmsource=NL20091209&utmmedium=email&utmcontent=Foodbankdonations2&utmcampaign=FoodbooksPDXauthors "Books for Food"] effort. We're donating 100 percent of our December commissions from Amazon and Powell's Books to Feeding America — because even in regions of bounty, there's hunger.
