I had a note from the Summit Dominican “Soap Sisters” today:

December 15 is the last day for Christmas Shopping at the Cloister Shoppe. The online store will be closed from December 16 – January 1 so that the Nuns can prepare for and celebrate Christmas.

Place your orders for Christmas gifts now!

Someone wrote asking about a book that was fun and interesting but not necessarily religious in nature.   While some might say that these are tantamount to a religious experience when they are at their peak… there is a fascinating little book about the history of the tomato.  A great read.  Get it with my affiliate link.

Pomodoro!: A History of the Tomato in Italy by David Gentilcore

US HERE – UK HERE

Think about it.  Tomatoes were discovered in the New World and they weren’t like our tomatoes today.  But Italian cuisine is unthinkable today without them.  How did that happen?
