There's family recipes we only cook for the holidays and I enjoy working on (and consuming those). Family get togethers aren't the same as they used to be, but the foods bring back memories of when they were more enjoyable.

Do you still have a best friend?

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
