We had a wonderful, if difficult, couple of weeks planning and holding the funeral for Nathan’s dad, Max. It was a precious time with our family and we feel so blessed to have been in Utah with so many dear ones.
For the family luncheon after the funeral, I made three different family favorite treats. I have linked the recipes below and I’ve also shared some photos of Max in the kitchen. Food was a prominent way for him to share the Swiss culture with those he loved. He absolutely loved good food and was delighted to share it. For these recipes, procuring some of the ingredients is the trickiest part of the endeavor. Once you have things gathered, the actual mixing and baking process is pretty straightforward if you have a bit of baking experience. Enjoy!
All is Quiet
There’s not much going on from day to day here, so very little to report. I will be doing some website maintenance in the next couple of weeks, so there may or may not be posts for a bit. We will see how it goes. There was a request (thanks, Erin!) for book recommendations from 2025, so here goes…
New Year on the Gulf
Happy New Year, y’all! We are settled into our January home: a little condo in Miramar Beach, Florida overlooking Choctawhatchee Bay. We had a quiet Christmas, a tumultuous trip to Miami, and a great visit with family on our way here.
West Virginia and Points South
Hello and Merry Christmas! We have had a full week of the fun and excitement that we like about our nomadic life. Not all perfect, but good!
