Scandinavian Christmas
I have only recently discovered the first Swedish immigrant of our family. He and his Danish wife, Anne Marie, and their six children came to America in 1904. Lars was a butter maker. He worked to make butter in a small town in Minnesota.

Let the Decorating Begin
The boxes are tucked away underneath the stairs, where they reside throughout the year. Forgotten. The calendar pages turned, one by one, but the decorations remained hidden from sight, waiting their turn. The seasons arrived at their appointed times, as the dark winter days turned warmer with each passing week. Turn the clocks ahead and enjoy the extra hour of daylight. Days turn to weeks, bringing sweltering heat and long walks on the hot beach sand.

The Peacemaker's Chair
The air crackled with tension in the Mitchell family living room. Thanksgiving dinner, an annual gathering that promised delicious food and forced civility, had turned into a verbal battleground. The dining table stood abandoned, a half-eaten turkey at its center, flanked by cold mashed potatoes and gravy. What had begun as a minor disagreement about whether cranberry sauce should be served whole or jellied had escalated into a full-blown clash, with grudges long buried rising to the surface.

SRI LANKA
It was a sunny morning in December when I stepped off the plane in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. The warm breeze carried the faint aroma of spices, a promise of the culinary delights awaiting me.
