Really just a twist on the "stop and smell the roses" adage, this question pushed me to ask WIKIPEDIA if chicory has a smell. I read all sorts of info about chicory, but I will really have to wait til summer to see/smell for myself! That's kind of really where I was going with this...
A walk to the post office to mail a package to my son makes me yearn for the warmer weather. He and daughter live in the Southern Hemisphere and happen to be going to the beach today, while I bundle up in New Jersey. The weather has been kind to me so far, but a chilly winter has started to become an expected reality.
This entry today was to also remind myself (and anyone who reads this) to appreciate the simple things about this Christmas season. Don't make it all about how much money you spend. Just the camaraderie of getting together with family and friends, making Christmas cookies (I saw a great recipe for a twist on the Linzer Tart today–perhaps for a future entry!), sending a card, or maybe you have "some old thing" in your house that you know someone would treasure.
Make some memories and have a wonderful holiday season!!!!
