Today we find ourselves in the Holiday Season. We meet some children who are having a very different Christmas. Although many people think they have it rough during this time of year there are those that have it much worse.  Book: A Treasury of African American Christmas Stories By Bettye Collier-Thomas Story: The Children’s Christmas by Alice Moore Dunbar Chef, has served up a sweet side dish. We are having Sweet Carolina Cornbread. This is a pleasure to make in the Galley just for you and I hope you enjoy it.
