Regardless of your opinions of the Chinese government, it's difficult to overlook the escalating friction between citizens and local government authorities.  The melamine milk case alone is a clear example of how poor infrastructure and government handling resulted in the harm of nearly 300,000 babies.

This is a delicious, festive, fun punch to serve at any gathering, party or special event. My mom has served this punch for over 30 years now! It's often requested. And watch out, it disappears fast. You can also add a variety of themed items to this punch, float plastic Christmas poinsettias, rubber ducks for a baby shower. The possibilities are endless!

This cake is really popular with my family because it is cool and light ... and not at all "rich". It is great with a glass of cold milk. A real hit, every time I have ever taken this to any kind of pot luck or covered dish meal. I always take home an empty pan afterward. It is easy to make and you can make it ahead of time.

These were from my Grandmother's recipe and were my father's favorite cookies. It just wasn't Christmas until we had made a big batch of these delicious cookies. They are so good you can give them as gifts.

Serve this "cheese" cake with crackers, bread rounds, or French bread slices. You are sure to love this spread.

This cranberry recipe was a nice change from just regular cranberries and was served by a friend of mine. It was so easy to make she just told me her recipe and I remembered it. I have since impressed my friends and relatives who are always asking me how I made it!
