RFC is a source of ideas for me, but only one of many. Most of the people in
this group live in the Northern Hemisphere, so the appropriate food for your
December holidays is heavy winter food. That's not the case here at all. My
chief inspiration comes from what I find in the marketplace, and in December
I want to cook light but satisfying food. I might peruse six-month-old posts
to see what gets cooked here in early summer, but I do try to be a bit more
elegant than what most of you make at that time of year. (Sorry to be so
blunt, but I have read time and again about your hot dog cookouts in July,
and that wouldn't be good enough for our Christmas dinner!)
