Photo of the Week – 12/30/09 – My Next Five Pounds
Fruit aside, these are the desserts I contributed to my parents’ Christmas dinner. In the back you see pizzelles which I made for my friend Joanne; followed by Italian ricotta cheesecake – our family’s favorite, once made by my grandmother, then by my aunt – now by me as tribute and remembrance of them both on the holiday; almond crescent cookies, a recipe given to me by my mom, and made as my contribution to my group’s cookie exchange; thumbprint cookies – Ina Garten’s recipe that I made as gifts for teachers. Yep, I’m probably showing a few pounds more this week, but there are more than a few pounds of holiday memories in these sweets.

Got something to say?
I’m glad that your granmother’s cheescake recipe lives on with you. Food traditions so often link the generations of a family together through memories. Just as our bodies subsist on good food our souls subsist on our memories
Merry Christmans and Happy New year
