If you think about it, virtually every holiday movie ever made can trace its heritage back to the day 166 years ago when Charles Dickens got the green light for "A Christmas Carol." Whether it involves lost puppies, childhood yearning for BB guns, workaholics with no holiday spirit, orphans, star-crossed lovers or the search for the perfect tree, all plot threads eventually lead back to "God bless us, every one" - or some other acknowledgement that it's all about love and family.

That said, even formulaic TV films can be appealing, especially if they are cast well. "12 Men of Christmas" is packed like a well-made snowball with plot cliches - workaholic PR executive has no time to stop and smell the spruce in the big city and has to be exiled to the sticks to find herself, true love and the real meaning of Christmas - but it all works well enough, thanks to diminutive Kristin Chenoweth in the lead role. As ever, Chenoweth brings the right mix of chirpiness and sass to the role of EJ Baxter, who is blackballed in the PR world after she discovers her boyfriend canoodling with her female boss at the holiday office party.

Unable to find work anywhere in the big city, she takes a job in the town of Kalispell, Mont., and gets involved raising money to buy a helicopter for the town's search and rescue team. At first, of course, EJ recoils at the folksiness of small-town life, but inevitably, the place grows on her as she masterminds a plan to have the buff guys of the search squad pose for a not-really-naughty calendar to raise money. Her nemesis is the hunky town heartbreaker, Will (Josh Hopkins), but of course, all that verbal sparring can only mean one thing, and it isn't a stocking full of coal on Christmas morning.

Despite all these cliches and the attendant predictability of the plot, "12 Men of Christmas" is a pleasant way to spend a holiday evening in front of a crackling plasma screen.

BCS championship 2010, national championship college football 2009 and Florida vs Alabama game score. Florida Gators were given one of their worst drubbings in recent years when Alabama Crimson defeated them 32-13 and won the SEC title. This propels them to BCS National Championship games.

But the win did not come easy. The Alabama Crimson guys have worked real hard in recent weeks, producing excellent work on the field in match after match.

They have not let their guards down neither against leading teams, but against those teams too that have not done that well in the tournament.

This was the reason that they reached this far, their best in almost seventeen years.

The 2010 Citi BCS National Championship Game will be the finale of the Bowl Championship Series, pitting the top two teams in the BCS standings, and will be hosted by the Tournament of Roses Association at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, January 7, 2010.

This will be the last BCS game to air on terrestrial television for at least four years. ABC will televise this game, as well as the Rose Bowl, while FOX will televise the remainder of the BCS.

The 2010 games mark the final year of the current contracts with FOX and ABC; ESPN will take over the BCS starting in 2011, including the Rose Bowl Game and the National Championship.

This will mark the third time that the Tournament of Roses has hosted the BCS National Championship game in Pasadena, and the first under the "plus one national championship game" system. In the 2002 Rose Bowl, Miami (Florida) beat Nebraska 37-14, while in 2006, Texas beat highly favored and defending national champion Southern California, 41-38.

Big Girls, Small Kitchen Review

2009-12-05T12:37:00.000-08:00

In New York, the housewarming becomes very literal, as many hike the four floors to their friend's new walk-up, arriving out of breath and sweaty. At these events, there might be a stray cheese platter or two, but for the most part, the guests wind up vying for the one ice cube yet to fall victim to the collective body temperature created by the guests and unventilated in the tenement-like surroundings.

But sometimes as we move up in the world and upgrade our digs, albeit up a few floors and without an elevator, the occasion calls for a slightly more grown-up affair. A dinner, if you will. Most of the time the host handles the menu, and the warming assigned to the guests consists of wine, or if you really want to heat things up, a bottle of tequila. But in my world, the best way to warm my friends' hearts and homes is through their stomach. And for a foolproof roof raiser, this means one thing: chili.

Over the course of many Mexican-themed meals, I've come to understand just how much my friend Rodrigo loves chipotles. The fact that this is his self-proclaimed favorite food shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, considering he is from Tijuana. But somehow it doesn't cease to make Rodrigo (or me) happy when every time he comes over for dinner, some large amalgamation of smokey chipotle chiles are served, and all of the non-Mexicans in the room are popping Zantac and reaching for water.

One of these more notable evenings was a Chili Cook-Off, when my friend Keith and I went head to head, him with his Spiked Meat-Lover's Chili, and me with my Smoky Chipotle Vegetarian version. After initially scoffing at me for even daring to enter a chili contest with a veggie option, Rodrigo came around to the power of his favorite ingredient and shot me a mischievous, satisfied smile.

Perhaps it was this memory that led Rodrigo to invite me to be the "celebrity" guest chef at his housewarming. Or, on the other hand, maybe it was this memory of mine, and the fact that Keith was attending, that led me to bring over a 10-pound pot of chili to serve for the occasion. This time, it was a brisk October evening, one that in my mind called for brisket. The rich meaty pumpkin chili did its job to warm us, and we washed it down with some pumpkin ale, nearly disastrous jalapeno-cheddar scones for dipping, and a beautifully crafted apple tart for dessert.

The chili was a huge hit, and since it simply needed to be popped in the oven for a few minutes before serving, I managed not to over-heat my hosts. Whatever the fire or flavor, I was content to see the famous Rodrigo smile in his brand new, shockingly adult apartment, surrounded by plenty of friends (spice-loving and not), all reaching for water and an extra dollop of sour cream. Next time, all I need is someone to help me up the stairs.

Dark Chocolate Cookies with Milk Chocolate Chips
Makes 36 cookies

I have a very clear memory of making a similar cookie (one that also called for melted chocolate in the batter) back in high school. The recipe was for a triple chocolate cookie from Cook's Illustrated magazine, and Kate, my younger sister, and I had been dying to make it for ages. We finally loaded up on chocolate on a mom-sponsored trip to Whole Foods, and we came back ready to bake. Unbeknown to us, the fancy Valrhona chocolate bar we'd acquired was flavored with orange. Tasting the batter, and later the cookies, Kate I could not for the lives of us figure out what had made the cookies taste so...unconventional. We kept saying things to each other like, "there's sort of a fruity undertone, don't you think?" Finally, a teacher (we had baked the cookies for a class of Kate's) came out with it: "I love the orange flavor," she said, completely casually.

These cookies, similar to those of the story, are great made with regular, non-orange, semi-sweet Ghiradelli chocolate chips, which is what I used here. More important is the quality of the cocoa powder--I like to use non-alkaline Scharffen Berger.

Ingredients
3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons natural (not Dutch processed) cocoa powder
3/4 cups milk chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In the microwave, nuke the semi-sweet chocolate chips until just barely melted, stirring to melt the last few chips. Set aside to come to room temperature.

Cream the butter with the sugar and molasses until lightened and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and cream again.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder. Stir into the butter mixture just until all the flour is incorporated (the dough will be pretty tough). Stir in the milk chocolate chips.

Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 8 minutes, then leave on the parchment to cool at least 10 minutes before eating.

The second luxury option, which includes seating on the Club Level, also offers access to the VIP Tailgate at Citizens Bank Park, a pre-game sideline pass and parking, and runs $275 per person.
To purchase either premium package, fans should call 1-888-332-CLUB (2582).
