True words that make me giggle

When I worked at a summer camp we used to make jokes about things that do not go well together.   Spaghetti and Breakfast; Alcohol and Swimming Pools; Crickets and Cabins.

But this was one we didn't think of but probably should have.  

I'm glad the folks at Bodum coffee did though!

History of holiday treats

I should have been a food historian.

I find myself fascinated by how many variations of holiday treats there are from different countries around the world.   Working in a European style bakery means I see and get to taste a lot of these!

Stollen, Panettone, Light English Fruitcake, Florentines, Traditional American Fruitcake.....

So many ways to bind together dried fruit in a sweet - with or without rum, nuts, marzipan or actual cake.
And they have interesting histories to explore while you eat them!
