Cranberry sauce, is almost on every Thanksgiving table, it is expected. I remember, the first Thanksgiving I hosted as DF’s wife. I was excited, a little nerves, and meticulously designed a menu. I have to admit I was a tad neurotic, nothing could go wrong, and...

During the Fall/Winter seasons it is our family’s tradition to prepare stocks and a special Italian sauce (to be given in a later post). Since both take at least 8 hours we try to prepare at least one type of stock and sauce on the same day. I remember when...
