28 Dec 2011 One of the perks of being a student (and right now as I’m in the middle of college applications and interviews there don’t seem to be many) is that you get a long Christmas break.

One whom I've never met, but who's blog, In Jennie's Kitchen, I've been reading for longer than I've had my own. Tragically, her husband passed away this past Sunday...suddenly, of a heart attack. The food blog community immediately took to the internet, reaching out, wanting to know what they could do to help her. Amazingly, she posted to her blog this week, to talk about her husband and to ask her readers to make this pie today.

It was something he loved, and making it is a way to celebrate his life. She also asked that it be shared with someone you love. Those close to me will know why this tragedy has hit me deeply. She passed away after a sudden, rare illness and her death was a shock to us all. I've wanted to talk about my loss here...as it's been such a major event in my life.
