My husband was Sicilian and liked to eat a “carrubo,” a long pod that grows on a locust-like tree in the Mediterranean region. That Sunday before Christmas our guests decorated cookies they would take back to their dormitory later. After the young men finished in the kitchen and I had cleaned up the floor, we gave them another task: to help us decorate our Christmas tree. “Mommy, they’re ruining the Christmas tree!” my older child complained. I assured her we could fix the tree after our guests left.
