My family background is a mix of the South, New Jersey, California, New York City, Montreal, Munich, and Israel, with the Midwest, Norway, Sweden, France, the Czech Republic, and Poland receding into the past. Our recipes are picked up from everywhere, but the best are the ones connected to certain people and certain stories..https://www.blogger.com/profile/01549084642883369527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-23763924982077401672007-12-30T16:37:00.000-05:002007-12-30T16:37:00.000-05:00Hi Mercedes :) What a lovely post!

Thanks for sharing the pics and story - so glad that you had a nice holiday.<BR/> Thanks, too, for your grandmother's Christmas Salad recipe. I am adding it to my file for next year. It's so pretty on the plate!
