Thanksgiving Fun And Make-Ahead Gravy

Things Have Changed!

In the Midwest as a girl, my family of seven annually joined a few dozen others on my mom’s side in Aunt Dolores’ and Uncle Jim’s home.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with aunts and uncles, cousins and grandparents; and there were a few firm traditions: only married couples sat at the adults’ table, with the rest of us at the large kids’ table; the most recently married bride brought the carrots and celery sticks; dinner always began with a small plate upon which sat a thick slice of can-ribbed jellied cranberry Read More

This Sunday is Family Bread Service at church. Congregants bring two loaves of bread from a recipe that is meaningful to them for cultural reasons or as a reflection of ethnicity.

Although I was aware growing up that my ethnic heritage was German-Swiss on both sides, there was no special focus on that history in my family. Nevertheless, the dishes that appeared on our table routinely and at the holidays spoke volumes: my mother served cabbage as a regular vegetable and made sauerbraten Read More

My grandmother Mabel regularly hummed a certain tune, unfamiliar to me, throughout the years I lived with her, 1976-1980. She was 76 years old, I was 17 and at a university in St. Louis. She hummed all of it except the words “my buddy, my buddy,” which I took to mean her late husband Leo. Eventually I heard the song played on the radio during a Veterans Day broadcast. Although the song by Gus Kahn and Walter Donaldson was published shortly

I do hope that you are as eager to read this, my second Los Alamos Daily Post column, as I am to share it with each of you.

If I were asked “What is my favorite meal of the day?” without a nano-seconds hesitation I would heartily declare “breakfast.” This response could easily be because oh how I do love the beginning of each new day but also because I love bacon, hot chocolate with whipped cream, toast, ham, eggs poached, scrambled and overeasy, bacon, jams and jellies, pancakes, waffles and bacon!
