This crazy NYC blizzard calls for comfort food like decadent Bread Pudding Pancakes from Chicago's Southport Grocery, a store-cum-cafe with a brunch menu of sandwiches, omelets and sweets that make it worth a winter trip to the Midwest. If that's not feasible, Southport sells the mix online so you can make the cakes for yourself: adding milk, eggs and a little oil sounds like a recipe even I could master. The cute Chicagoan spot sells lots of other house-made pantry items, too, like Vanilla Vinaigrette, which sounds like an interesting way to dress fruit salads or marinate meat.
even better when you enjoy the treats with fabulous company :)
