The Fig Tree – the coveted fig tree
The Water’s Better in Brooklyn – or is it in Queens?
The Long Christmas Table – My Grandparents basement table was the centerpiece of life
The Comfort of Food – Recipe Post, Fran’s Feed Your Feelings Ziti

    Fran – was the hot dog Thermos idea yours? It’s a good one!

  • Fran Honan

    Paula, I think it was the Walshes plan to feed a large family easily. Others followed their lead, like the Bodens and Galvins. We would also, although I always made sure we did not get the thermoses confused. Otherwise the lemonade would have had a rather unique taste.

    I am so proud to be part of this wonderful blog. I think it has shaped up to be
    even more than we imagined. Great efforts by so many contributors and to
    Paula and Katie who are the inspiration.

    Thanks Fran, I’ll have to talk to Maureen about it, what a clever idea.
    Gosh drinking hot dog water would be so gross!!
