There is no sunnier way to start the day than with breakfast akfast on the patio of the Cottage, a side-street bungalow café where meals exude the laidback joie de vivre of a village founded by California’s surﬁng pioneers. Laura Wolfe, who runs the Cottage with her husband, John, calls stuffed French toast “the dish I most look forward to eating in the morning.” Try it once and you’ll understand why.

Corned Beef Hash From MCBOB’S in Milwaukee

Although McBob’s is best known for its ﬁne Friday F id ﬁsh h fry, f the corner tavern is also a favorite breakfast spot thanks to its superb corned beef hash. Cooked long and slow, the meat is so tender it starts to fall apart when you slice it. For hash, it’s torn into a merry jumble of slices, shreds, and chunks. This recipe calls for just enough potato to create a starchy balance and includes caramelized onion for a sweet note. TRY THIS AT HOME: In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, sauté ½ cup chopped red onion in 1 Tbsp cooking oil until onion begins to soften. Add ½ lb red potatoes, boiled (but not mushy) and cubed. Fry until edges begin to crisp. Add 1 lb cooked corned beef, thickly sliced against the grain and broken into pieces. Toss hash together over medium heat for 2 minutes. Remove to a plate, sprinkle with paprika, and garnish with ¼ cup chopped parsley. Serves 4.

Chefowner Robert Stehling says the key is to start with great grits: He buys stone-ground ﬂint corn grits from Boonville Mill (boonvillemill.com), which taste just like the kind his family ate when he was a kid. “They have a warm ﬂavor, like the summer sun,” he says. TRY THIS AT HOME: In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring 4½ cups water to a boil. Whisk in 1 cup stone-ground grits and 1 tsp salt.

Potato Latkes tkes

From MANNYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DELICATESSEN CATESSEN in Chicago

You are never alone at Mannyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Seating at this boisterous deli is communal, and regulars (businesspeople, cops, politicians) hobnob loudly with one another and with Ken Raskin, Mannyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, who works the dining room. Ken says the secret to great latkes is to make them thick enough so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re crunchy on the outside while packed with plenty of creamy potato shreds on the inside. Remember: Crispness requires the oil to be very hotâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just this side of smoking. TRY THIS AT HOME: Peel Âž lb baking potatoes (russets) and grate medium-coarse. (Yield should be about 2 cups.) Combine potatoes and Âź cup grated onion in a colander, pressing out as much moisture as possible. Stir potato mixture with 2 large eggs, lightly beaten; 1 tsp salt; 8 tsp freshly ground black pepper; 1 Tbsp all-purpose ďŹ&#x201A;our; and 8 tsp baking powder. Let stand for 5 minutes. In a heavy skillet, melt Âź cup butter over medium-high and add Â˝ cup vegetable oil or moreâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;enough to total about a Âź-inch layer of fat. Drop potato mixture into skillet in 2-Tbsp portions, using a wooden spoon to slightly ďŹ&#x201A;atten each one. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make them too thin, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let them touch. Fry for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and fry 1 minute more. Use a slotted spatula to remove from oil; drain on paper towels. Serves 4.

FEELING STUCK? Like no one listens?

Ask Marilyn By Marilyn vos Savant

After I get over a cold or the ﬂu, do I need to buy a new toothbrush? If I use the same one, will I catch the same illness again? —Al Lasso, Las Vegas

First, you can’t get the same cold or ﬂu virus twice, at least not anytime soon and probably never. During your recovery, you develop antibodies that protect you the next time you run into those viruses. And second, you can’t re-catch a disease from your toothbrush anyway. If you could, you never would have gotten well; your toothbrush would have kept you sick. Bacterial infections are different; you can get them more than once. But not from your toothbrush. The same evidence applies. Antibiotics or not, if your toothbrush could reinfect you, you’d have to use a new one every time you brushed!

By Connie Schultz

The Things I’d Carry Few material items are worth holding on to forever. But these five definitely make my list.

irst, i want to thank the local firefighters who stood in my hallway and didn’t say, “Ma’am, no one over the age of 4 thinks a carbon monoxide detector chirps like a chickadee when a family’s life is in danger.” Instead, they showed me where to insert the fresh battery and off they went. Later that day, I started to wonder what I’d save if I had to flee the house. Ever ask yourself this: Assuming all sentient beings are safe, what things would you grab on your way out? Here’s my list, in no order of importance.

The Statue of Liberty

Daughter Cait made this out of papier-mâché when she was in second grade. Lady Liberty is sitting down and slumped to the side like a sack of quinoa. When I asked Cait why, she sighed. “She’s tired, Mommy. America is hard work.” It should be noted that, 18 years later, Lady Liberty’s crepe paper torch still burns brightly.

Objects of My Affection From top, Charlie the cookie jar; a photo of Andy, age 6; and one stressed-out Lady Liberty.

Polaroid of my son

In 1982, Andy posed for this picture. “To keep with you all the time,” he said. “So you don’t forget what I look like.” As if I could. His father had introduced us a few weeks earlier, and already he had a two-fisted hold on my heart. Andy’s 38 now, married, and the father of my first grandson. Call Andy anything other than my son and you’re picking a fight. He will always be my boy. This photo reminds me that families are cobbled together in all sorts of ways, and life’s

What are the ﬁve things you plan to keep forever? Tell us at Parade.com/connie

After my parents died, Charlie came to live with me. He has a new job this year. Several times a week, I lift his hat to toss in a note about something good that has happened in our lives. On New Year’s Eve, we’ll read all the notes of small wonders. In the meantime, I look at Charlie’s smile and think of that long-ago beginning for two kids in love.

On our ﬁrst date, Sherrod Brown presented me with this. If you don’t think that’s ﬂirting, then you’ve never dated a writer. The quotations gave me glimpses into the man I’d soon marry. I broke out in goose bumps when I got to the same George Bernard Shaw quote that was taped to my computer: “I want to be thoroughly used up when I die.” That’s our plan.

5 greatest disappointments cannot break us if we lead with love.

Charlie the cookie jar

This face-shaped jar was a wedding gift to my parents in 1957. Mom was 19; Dad, 20. Mom said the jar reminded her of Dad because of its red hair. I named it Charlie, Dad’s nickname on the softball ﬁeld.

Two pages of quotations, tied with a bow

Two photo ID badges

One badge is Mom’s, issued on her ﬁrst day as a nurse’s aide in 1974. She took the job so that I could go to college. She was 36 and anxious about her new life as a working mother. Working for pay, that is. The second badge is mine, issued the day I started as a reporter at the Plain Dealer in Cleveland. I, too, was 36 and anxious about my new life as a single mom with a full-time job. “We do what we have to do,” my mother said. “Just like me, you’ll be ﬁne.” Just like her, I was.
