Continue reading →: Two Weeks Late, Nothing Short (except pictures)
Although I grew up in a Pennsylvania Dutch family where New Year’s dinner was pork and sauerkraut—plus, when my grandmother hosted, stuffed pig stomach, I have come to love Hoppin John to celebrate the holiday. That’s what we’ve done most of the years since my parents passed, maybe also cooking…

I hope that you are all having a relaxing, enjoyable holiday. Our Christmas has been really wonderful, from a beautiful candlelight service at our church last evening with lots of music to our traditional Christmas morning breakfast of cranberry-apple pie. We continued our practice of trying to guess what was…
