Dear Janice Stuckless and Katherine Saunders, As a Dec 31 baby, a mainlander friend gifted me with an issue of Downhome. The recipe for Pineapple Light Fruitcake was a perfect way to use up the last of candied fruit with a sunny twist. It was fun solving the puzzle "The Beaten Path" over a morning coffee. To celebrate our heritage my daughter and grandgirls took part in the tradition of mummering to our house during the holidays. My daughter made a Christmas village and a set of mummers on parade. It will be an expanding village in the coming years with more mummers and painted houses. All in all Downhome is a fun read. Perpetua Quigley   Submitted By: NULL
