I am planning a Swedish style buffet table for Christmas Eve - Pickled herring, Swedish meatballs, various salads, etc - and in my search for recipes I found a quote I really like, and find so apropos. Many of us tend to obsess about our choices at this time of year, but this points out that what really matters is our choices for the rest of the year.

“It's the choices you make between New Year and Christmas that count, not the ones between Christmas and New Year”

That having been said, have a lovely Christmas, and treat yourself kindly when things get difficult.

Sounds like a very nice meal. Dr. Cate really expounds on traditional food in her book Deep Nutrition.
