Similar to our visit to Australia, Antarctica and Africa experience their summertime over the Christmas holiday. But it’s still cold in Antarctica, the summertime in Africa is anything but chilly. There is not a native population to Antarctica, so no handed-down recipes. No one raises families on the South Pole, so no traditions or decorations other than the ones brought from other countries. Celebration activities include signing Christmas carols, parties and some outdoor activities. They do w...

Our spotlight takes us to Europe, the second stop on our Christmas tour of the continents. And a large percentage of Europeans are Jewish, and celebrate Hanukkah. The holiday occurs on the 25th day of Kislev, according to the Jewish calendar, which occurs any time from late November to late December. Sunday was the start of Hanukkah. A Jewish holiday that celebrates light and the eight nights the light stayed lit at the Holy Temple after it was rededicated in second century BCE. The lighting of...
Ever wonder what other parts of the world do for Christmas? What they eat, how they decorate, what exactly do they celebrate?

Christmas “Down Under” has all the glitter, tinsel and excitement as Christmas in America. The biggest difference is the weather.

Thanksgiving dinner doesn’t have to be the kick-off to a month of holiday overeating, ending with a regretful New Year’s resolution and a January diet that is as welcomed as the winter flu. The holiday season can be festive, even indulgent, without punishing our weight. Small steps, different ingredients and perhaps a few laps around the block in between parties will help keep your stuffing from leaking out of your clothes. Stuffing, at its best, is bread soaked in turkey fat and butter and a f...

et without something with cranberries? I remember my mom having one of Grandma’s Schwinkendorf’s fine dishes filled with cranberry sauce that still had the lines from the tin can it came out of. I’m not sure anyone touched it. But it was there, every year. Also on the table, though, was a fantastic cranberry salad that I have not yet been handed down the recipe, but have tried to emulate every year. Fruits indigenous to the region where the first thanksgiving meal took place included blueb...
Every good story usually has a once upon a time and a happy ending. This one is no different and the ending is one your stomach and those of the ones you dine with will love to tell again and again. It all started in 1954, with Idaho native Neef and brother, Golden Grigg founded the Ore-Ida company. The company was named because it sits on the Oregon-Idaho border, hence Ore-Ida. Pretty nifty how that worked out. The brothers Grigg were trying to perfect a way to make frozen french fries. But...
Charlene Smith [email protected] Ah, the joy of candy making. That detail-oriented, time-consuming task of making something sweet for someone else and sampling along the way. Granted, some of the recipes require perfect measurements, consistent heat, unwavering stirring, and the right tools. But with a little patience and attention to the little things, home-made candy is rich in taste, and has more charm than the easier option of purchasing candy in a pretty gold-wrapped box. And...
