The 12 Days of Christmas Food
On December 22, 2009 in Thought for the Day
Memories are powerful things. And the Holidays are filled with memories. My best memories are always around food, so in the spirit of tradition, the holidays, being Italian and loving food, I offer you my Twelve Days of Christmas Food.
May your memories be exceptional and may your plates always include your favorite foods. Seasons Eatings.
