Meals are the time that we all get together as a family, outside of our everyday hassles. The time that is calm and relaxed. The time we can chat and plan. Peace time among the storm.

My favorite thing to cook is duck and meat salad. We typically cook it on New Year’s Eve. Everyone in my family loves it, so it is smiles all around. It is also a meal that we make together as a family. Everyone helps, music is on, everyone is excited 😊

We are not only excited for the meal itself, but also for New Year, new beginnings.
