"And now let us welcome the new year – full of things that have never been." ~ Ranier Maria Rilke
NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It's my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian 'Quote Cup' passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, and sometimes some photos of family fun. I love trying new recipes…and love getting recipes you would like to share!
We ended our holiday season by celebrating New Year's the same way we have for decades… with fondue, games and movies with great friends we met when we lived in Duluth about 30 years ago. Linda is a great cook, and I love her eclectic cookbook shelf…
