How to Make a Thanksgiving Dinner for One or Two
Klancy Miller, author of Cooking Solo, gives us six of her best tips—and shares a recipe for her mini chestnut cakes….



Makes Three Small Cakes
“When I apprenticed at Taillevent in Paris, the pastry chef spiked his chestnut cakes with vintage rum. I prefer to drizzle them with melted chocolate or eat them with chocolate ice cream. The dense, rich consistency of these mini cakes may remind you of flourless chocolate cake—except they’re less sweet. They keep well, so the recipe makes three. Wrap the extras tightly in plastic and stash them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months for a ready-made treat when a friend drops by for coffee,” advises Miller. “Unwrap and pop them into a 350°F oven for 6 to 8 minutes before serving. Chestnut cream is a sweetened chestnut puree. It’s available—as are candied chestnuts (marrons glacés)—from gourmet shops and online sources including amazon.com, which carries my favorite brand, Clément Faugier chestnut spread with vanilla.”
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter, plus 1 teaspoon for the dish
1 cup chestnut cream
1 candied chestnut, diced (optional; preferred brand Clément Faugier)
2 large eggs
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use 1 teaspoon of the butter to grease three 3-inch ramekins or shallow tart molds.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Let cool slightly.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the chestnut cream, melted butter, and candied chestnut, if desired, until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition.
4. Place the prepared ramekins on a baking sheet and divide the batter evenly among them. Place the pan in the oven and bake the cakes for 30 to 35 minutes, until firm and lightly browned. Set aside on a rack to cool for 10 minutes before unmolding.
5. Meanwhile, chop the chocolate, if using, into 1⁄2-inch pieces and add it to the top of a double boiler or a metal bowl set on top of a saucepan that’s half full of water. (The water should not touch the bottom of the bowl.) Heat over medium-high heat, stirring after 5 minutes, until the chocolate is completely melted.
6. To serve, unmold a cake onto a dessert plate and drizzle with the melted chocolate. Serve warm. (Or eat it straight from the ramekin!)

Fans flooded the comments with praise, celebrating her radiant appearance and her love for pop culture. “Love that reference! You look great!” one user raved, while another chimed in with admiration, “You look absolutely amazing, Lizzo.” But the self-love queen wasn’t done yet. In true Lizzo fashion, she kept the energy going with another playful post. This time, she rocked a black t-shirt and matching underwear, embracing her curves and flashing a confident smile. With humor at the forefront, she captioned the shot, “Me, myself & all my memes: (I still haven’t seen the season finale of Severance).”
The lighthearted self-roast resonated with her followers, many of whom praised her for celebrating both her body and her interests. Lizzo’s openness has always been a core part of her brand. From advocating for body positivity to promoting mental well-being, the “Good as Hell” singer continuously inspires fans to embrace themselves fully. Her recent posts are a reflection of that journey, one where self-love and joy are celebrated without reservation. And while some may be eager to dissect her weight loss, Lizzo’s focus remains on her happiness and self-expression.

Rare Nike Air Foamposite One Yankees Sample Hits the Market

Sneaker culture is all about exclusivity, and sometimes, a truly special pair comes along that gets everyone excited. One such sneaker is the Nike Air Foamposite One Yankees Sample, a unique blend of basketball history and baseball style. With its striking look and connections to two famous sports worlds, this rare sneaker has just hit the resale market, and collectors are eager to get their hands on it. Originally created for basketball star Penny Hardaway, the Foamposite One became a staple of ’90s sneaker fashion. Its innovative design was groundbreaking at the time.
However, this special Yankees-themed version takes it a step further. It features a deep navy blue and bright white color scheme, resembling the classic pinstripes of the New York Yankees, one of the most celebrated teams in baseball. The unique wave design that runs across the upper part makes this sneaker stand out, giving it a dynamic look and feel. Unlike the regular versions sold in stores, this sample was never mass-produced, which adds to its appeal among collectors and passionate Yankees fans. Currently listed on Index PDX in size 9 for an impressive $3,500, the price reflects how rare it is.
However, what really matters is the story behind it. From basketball courts to everyday life, the Foamposite One has always been a symbol of performance and fashion. This Yankees edition connects two sports that have captured the hearts of fans for generations. For those lucky enough to own this sneaker, it’s a statement piece. It showcases Nike’s dedication to exploring and celebrating sports culture. Whether proudly displayed or worn to show off hometown pride, the Yankees Foamposite One serves as a reminder of the unforgettable moments shared between basketball and baseball.
