Thank you to whoever grows delicious mini watermelons and ships them to Albuquerque.

I have a soft spot in my heart for old Tupperware. The colors were amazing, Harvest Gold anyone? Avocado green? And the zigzag tops surely had some purpose back in the day, but they were super annoying to wash. Hand wash, of course, because we didn’t have a dish washer when I was growing up. …

On this 7th (or 8th) day of Christmas, we are eating Panettone, a delectable treat commonly consumed by our family on Christmas Day and New Years Day.

On the 5th (or 6th) day of Christmas I’m dreaming of the delicious Christmas dinner we ate a few days ago. My husband’s family has a tradition of making a slightly sweet turkey and sweet gravy for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The first time I had it I couldn’t believe my tastebuds so I learned how to make…

On the second day of Christmas we ate leftovers. Specifically our traditional family “fruit salad”, aka marshmallow, whipped topping, and pineapple goodness.
