The Pond at Bryant Park opens a week from this Friday. Last year was great fun. I went twice: once after my company’s holiday party when I was drunk, and another time I don’t remember. This year, we’re celebrating opening day—and also the fact that since it’s still October, we can skate without being blanketed in down, wool, Gore-Tex®, and so on. Come out and wear your best tube top.

Combining the slightly sweet sauce of the Chicken Tikka Masala with the sugar-glazed goodness of the Popem, the ChickNut brings East and West together, resulting in previously uncharted flavor combinations. You might think it’s crazy but that’s only because you haven’t tried it yet. Just another day in the Meatloafing kitchen.

Ingredients

• 1 piece of Chicken Tikka Masala from the Indian food cart on the southwest corner of 46th St. and 6th Ave.
• 1 Entenmann’s Glazed Popem

Directions

1. Insert clean index finger into Popem, creating a hole large enough for the piece of chicken.
2. Insert chicken into hole.
3. Enjoy.

Note: This recipe can also be made with meats other than chicken. BeefNuts, PorkNuts, and GoatNuts are not unheard of. Feel free to experiment and don’t forget to share your favorite Meat + Donut combinations in the comments section of the post!

Every day I find something new to drill. I think last night I even slept with my drill.

Do you like to bake tuiles, gougères or cookies? I do. The Silpat is the best thing ever. Shit just slides right off.
