    As we enter Holy Week, I am reflecting on the friends that were around Jesus as he made the final walk to Jerusalem.  In that motley crew of disciples we don’t often hear the names of the women who surrounded Jesus.  We know his mother was there, and Mary Magdalene.  We hear of other women like Susanna.  Yet the focus is often on the male disciples with Jesus.

    As I was packing up to move recently, I found room in the limited space of a suitcase for the entire recipe collection of my late grandmother, Marcella Gleyre. She was Nana to me. Friends would share recipes. Little handwritten cards, frequently stained from regular use, would have a friend’s name on the top of […]
