Time for Pie and Holiday Sweaters

Rebel is shy about showing off his holiday sweater

Ahh, the holidays in Alaska, a time when you remember how far away you
really are from family and Outside friends. It is also a time when my lovely assistant and I make Grandma Peggy's chocolate pie and Grandma Kelly's broccoli casserole. Bruce was a whiz with a new spin on the pies this year: graham cracker crusts...mmm.

We have not been brave enough, yet, to attempt any of Bruce's Babi's famous Czech holiday buchti (cookies)...but perhaps this will be the year! Bruce has inherited some of her baking ability, I believe.

Earlier this winter Bruce did prepare and enjoy a Czech meal in the spirit of his prarodiče (grandparents)-ptarmigan with locally made zeli (sauerkraut), Palmer, AK peas, and a can of pilsner.
