1 cup canola oil.1 cup sour cream, at room temperature.

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces.1 1/2 pounds semisweet chocolate, finely chopped.

1/3 cup hot brewed coffee.Sugared cranberries, for garnish (see Note).

Preheat the oven to 350° and position the racks in the center and lower thirds.

Butter three 9-by-2-inch round cake pans and line with parchment paper.All of the rice dishes, red rice or hoppin' john—my father never made those.. Oh my God, we had a division of rice labor right in my house.. Did this division of labor just come naturally?.

But when I read Judith Carney's book.and she talked about the division of rice labor in West Africa, and how women were really the people who farmed rice, I thought, "Oh my God, we had a division of rice labor right in my house.".
