                      Like a Spider’s Web

                      On a toasty summer day, I run to our local Asian grocery store in Amherst, Massachusetts with only one thought on my mind — I have to get tamarind sauce and taste that strong, tangy flavor.

                      A square image with a cold, comforting, and snowy aesthetic, designed for a piece of Christmas fiction. The central photograph is a close-up of a snow-covered tree branch or log, with patches of moss or lichen visible. A small, lit tea light candle sits on the snowy surface, casting a warm glow. The overall mood is peaceful, reflective, and slightly magical. The title and author text are overlaid in a glowing white/blue font. A white owl logo is positioned in the bottom right corner. platters Text: Brenda Cox, Fiction, Christmas Promise

                      Hummus and salsa, chips and pitas, olives to cranberries, yams to sweetness — oh, what delight from such bounteous platters. Chimes of the hour with music to sound, singers, instrumentalists, all gather ’round…

                      A square image with a festive, abundant, and joyous aesthetic, capturing a multi-generational family Thanksgiving dinner. The scene is centered on a wooden dining table where people are passing dishes and laughing, suggesting a happy gathering. A platter holding a roasted turkey surrounded by cherry tomatoes and lettuce is being served in the foreground. The lighting is warm and bright, with a decorated Christmas tree visible in the blurred background. The MockingOwl Roost logo is in the bottom right corner.

                      A Special Family Dinner

                      Another Thanksgiving is in the books. The kitchen is all in disarray, and we all pitch in to clean. We’ll all see each other another day, but this evening was about more than just cuisine.
