Do you remember a particular meal that brings back the feeling of family, community, and love? For me, it’s the smell of onions and celery that my mother would sauté early Thanksgiving morning. After she stuffed the bird the aroma of roasting turkey floated around the house all day.
For Johnny, the little boy in Irish Luck, Chinese Medicine, his favorite Thanksgiving dish is colcannon. It might be because he could play with his food, making melted butter puddles in his mashed potatoes.
