Have you thought that it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas? I did, too and it’s not a bad dream. Costco put their Christmas merch out September 1, a week before Labor when it’s still technically summer. Home Depot is rolling out their Christmas displays next week. Kmart and Sears will be joining in the festivities September 25 and by October, Walmart and JC Penney will have their halls decked, too. If this seems super early, it is. Most stores waited until mid-October last year, but almost half of all women say that they plan to start their Christmas shopping and have it done by Halloween. The one store that's bucking the trend is Nordstrom. They plan to wait until Thanksgiving to put their Christmas displays up. Company spokeswoman Pamela Lopez says it's because they believe in "celebrating one holiday at a time."


Your Gourmet Guess answer: Pasta. Though it is most closely associated with Italy, the origins of it are actually traced to Greece where the literal translation of the world is “barley porridge.” It can be used as both decoration and as a carrier for other ingredients.
