With the winter holidays comes the season of giving. And what better way to give to the community than to become a volunteer for the Salvation Army's Christmas Drive, where each year they raise money for the less fortunate.

Into the heart of Africa
When my youngest was in grade school, her class began a unit on Africa, and she asked me if she might cook some African foods as part of her studies. This was a few years before the Internet offered access to recipes throughout the world, so I felt lucky when I unearthed the lone African cookbook in my collection. It was a "safari"-themed book that had been given to me, full of menus for "game drive picnics," brunch in the bush and dinner at sundown under the acacia tree with "smiling muchindas" (waiters) handing out round, ice-cold gin-and-tonics. At any moment, I thought, as I flipped through the pages, I'll be seeing happy lion cubs singing "Hakuna Matata." The Africa in this book was beautiful, for sure, but it seemed that reality had been airbrushed out of the picture.
