A final embrace of feasting and gluttony for the day after turkey day. This is the Pilgrim Sandwich, which could be considered the American version of the English “Bubble and Squeak.”
Whatever you call it,…

My family visited the Little Farm in Tilden Park last weekend, and I couldn’t tear myself away from this tom. He clearly ruled the roost. He walked around, cool as a cucumber…until he had to put a chicken or duck in its place. What caught my attention was his comb – it was constantly in [...]

Cranberry sauce was always a staple on our holiday table when I was a child, but I must admit that I wasn’t fond of it until recently.

The pomegranate is by far one of my most adored fruits. I discovered pomegranates at an early age, though I do not exactly remember how. But I do remember bringing them to school in my lunch bag, much to the chagrin of the nuns. By the time lunch was over I was bespeckled with a [...]
