Journal etc:. April, Making Do
It might feel like a strange time to be 'celebrating' anything, at the moment. A lot of us may feel uprooted, unsettled, have lost our rhythm or routine. We strongly believe that continuing with our traditions, no matter how big or small, old or new, can help root us, bring us purpose, and keep us going. Make do and make the most of your extra time, it's not the time to see this confinement as limiting or debilitating. It's an opportunity to grow, learn new skills, be reminded of old hobbies and re-connect and stay connected with the people you love. Be grateful for good health and appreciative of the freedom we will have once this passes.
Recipe etc.: Pizza Dough, Vehicle for Leftovers
Italy’s shining glory. Done differently in every region. Hell, every household I’m sure. But always available per prendere via [to take away]. And the PERFECT vehicle for any combination of toppings and crazy pairings your creative self can come up with. Pizza is very forgiving, like that.
Journal etc.: December, Celebration
December is a period of indulgence and huge expense. Often getting caught in the trap of having the 'perfect' gifts, extravagant parties, new outfits and endless trays of food. We can forget to make the most of what we already have.
