For the last several years the Bonna kids and our Bonna Mom get together to bake the Christmas cookies for the upcoming holiday events: Christmas, Scandinavian Christmas and Christmas Eve Brunch.

December 22, 2007
TOAD: Dec 19th, 2007: Every year Karen’s family celebrates Scandinavian Christmas and I am surrounded by all things grey and fishy. Last year I decided that I would stop complaining and step it up by making something Scandinavianof my own that I could get excited about.

Holiday Cocktails
December 10, 2007
Karen and I had a few people over last weekend for some holiday cocktails. We picked up bunch of things from fresh direct, Karen baked some cookies, I made some mulled cider and we were on our way.

TOAD: Dec. 2nd, 2007: Our Bocce team, Watch Your Balls!!, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in the playoffs this season. This was the first season where Sasha didn’t make it to any matches. Coincidence? I think not. Sasha will be back and so will WYB. (Stay tuned for some photos […]

December 3, 2007
Matt and Freya hosted their annual Thanksgiving event a few weeks back and one of the big stars was supposed to be a deliciously deep-fried turkey. A few weeks prior, Matt approached us and the following conversation ensued:
Matt: “Hey can my mom come over to your apartment to deep fry a turkey in your backyard?”
Me: […]
One Week’s Worth of Food Around Our Planet
November 27, 2007
Someone from a listserv I am on passed along this post: One Week’s Worth of Food Around Our Planet. It’s really interesting to see the types of food purchased around the world as well as what that costs in dollars. At a quick glance it seems like the family from Egypt may have the healthiest […]
