Great list Bryan! And Tim, maybe you could take pity on a pregnant lady and mail her some of those rugelach? Good lord, I didn’t need to see those this morning…
I think it is funny that Bryan’s favorite foods are all beige. He no fool!
Beth, when are you having baby?! I feel like you have been pregnant forever. ; )
I love this! I made that caramel cake for my husband’s bday last year and I had to say it is seriously addictive. Congrats on 2 years, Tim. And glad to see Bryan on here, too :)
Awww. You two are so cute! I admire you from afar…San Francisco to be exact. Keep up the fabulous cooking, eating & blogging. You have a forever fan in me.
Thank you for adding several items to my “must make” list…that pizza cipolla is one. And vinegar potatoes?! Are you kidding me? I am British and so my heart lies with malt vinegar but I can make an exception for these lovelies!
great list, Brian! I am seriously wishing i had some vinegared potatoes right now (which is weird, because usually i’d be drooling over that caramel sauce….). probably because i’m eating grits for lunch, and it sounds…. am i southern, or what?!
I made those vinegar potatoes and i added whole peeled garlic cloves and a couple of bay leaves – plus – some salt or fish sauce tot taste. Then I fried them, I did not have a grill but since I live in a Chicago one-bedroom apt – my whole being reeked of garlic and vinegar – for weeks!!!! This version is reminiscent of a variation of Philippine adobo. Yes folks, I am Filipino – and I Filipinized this wonderful Canadian concoction and it is still rockin!!
vinegar potatoes!!! i’m not canadian, but i’ve loved vinegar since i was a tot (pickled beets went on a first grade place mat as my “favorite food”!) so these sound delicious. on the menu for tonight, i think!
thanks for sharing highlights :)
Wow. I just stumbled across your site, after someone asked if I had ever read your blog, saying that my blog reminded them of yours. What I thought was just a passing comment, I know now was an amazing compliment. Every one of your photos is more delectable than the last. Great recipes, and ideas. Your vinegar potatoes sound great! And who doesn’t “get” chocolate?! lol. It’s amazing! I will definitely be adding this to my google reader. Thanks for sharing! =)
I wanted to follow up to the above comment and say that beige food usually = butter and carbs are involved, so I can’t blame Bryan at all! :) Also, while it seems I have been pregnant forever I am finally in the home stretch…due in about 6 weeks.
I love hearing Tim’s voice on Lottie + Doof. Nice you came out from behind the curtain for this post. And, enjoyed hearing your favorites. A man who whips up a caramel cake JUST because he needed a treat? You found a keeper!

Brian, altogether, your 5 choices make up a great meal… a vegetable, an entree, and three desserts. Perfect!

Great picks, Bryan! I need to make those vinegar potatoes before outdoor grilling season is over, yum.

Not the stracciatella—black and white don’t make beige!

Those rugelach look so nice! My sister is coming to stay this weekend and those are on the list for brunch. Can’t wait to try them!

Thanks all, for complimenting my picks. Given the great stuff Tim’s got on here though, it’d be hard to come up with bad selections.

Bryan, time to start your own competing blog. Make it all about chocolate and thyme. I’ll be your best reader, promise.

I also love vinegar potatoes. But, it never occurred to me to cook them in vinegar. Thanks for teaching me something new.
