The New Year is here and normalcy as well as leftovers find their way back into the kitchen. I had a couple leftover baked potatoes and a few slices prosciutto… Revamped, they might taste better than the original dish!

I'm not sure that this simple, traditional Sicilian milk pudding is really a Christmas dessert. But in our family it has always been known as one, and it never fails to appear on the Holiday Menu.

The shortest day of the year will be upon us shortly. Why not confront it with a small glass of something delicious in our hand?

Thanksgiving is the quintessential holiday in the US. But obviously, I've been back so long that getting up this morning, not having to roast a turkey, I forget about it. Looking at the supermarket display, hoping for dinner inspiration, I spot a turkey. A turkey? A turkey! I grab the smallest one I can find (a miserly 6.4 lbs), add some sweet potatoes, cranberries and a couple more small things, and this is all I can shlep onto the bus.
