A wonderful time of year! Stocking Stuffer's Traditions This week, today especially, it truly feels like winter is here. In the Northwest the thermometer belies the truth of what it really is. Even at what one would consider a sultry winter temperature of 43 degrees, the air is saturated with moisture, filled with arrows of water, if you will, that pierce the skin. No matter how much you wear you are cold to the bone. So, I’m thankful when I go inside to research the origins of food and find their place in history during this time of year. Not quite as romantic as searching the tombs of King Tutankhamun for the first jar of honey, it does allow time to study, read and test recipes by the warm stove. What I have learned is that food passed from generation to generation is not only about the recipe and the correct ingredients (which often change over time), it is indeed the stories, the rituals, that follow to mold and meld, to create and perpetuate family food tradition. It is also why we started so many years ago our own ritual of food stocking stuffers (you can see them here) and our list of favorite foods of the year. (listed below with photos). To share with you, our extended family of food people. Stocking Stuffers Here! |
