We talked about copyright and food this week.
The brief presentation covered the bare bones of copyright and we stressed how it affects genealogy in particular.
During the Holiday Roundtable we shared foods that we remembered from family gatherings during Thanksgiving or Christmas. Here's a list of various group memories.
Lefse
Mince and pecan pies (and various other varieties)
Krumkake
Stollen
Fruitcake or Christmas cake
Candy, particularly caramels
