Grapefruit and avocado salad, red onion/orange/romaine salad, smoked salmon on pumpernickel bread. If there's a return to the retro classics our grandparents ate it might in part be due to the very modern "eat local" movement. In the days of yore people had little choice but to eat local, and now we're choosing to by shopping at farmers' markets or by paying attention to the "locally grown" labels in the Whole Foods produce section. Since I'm now in LA and my grandmother lived in San Diego, for us that means citrus and avocados. </p> When a bunch of family was visiting us for the long Thanksgiving weekend my mother commented on how strange it was that a number of the dishes I was serving were, unbeknownst to me, things my grandmother served back in the 50s/60s/70s.

Better still, it's cheap and last forever in the fridge. Granted, it won't win any healthy eating awards but hey, it's Christmas. PS. Duck fat potatoes also amazing.</p> Yuk?
