TO-GO DISHES
Enjoy a Timberline Lodge-style holiday meal with your household that you can order and pick up from Mt. Hood Brewing Co. in Government Camp. Preorder your New Year's Eve take and serve dinner by noon on NYE (Thurs, Dec 31). This dinner for four people comes with "all the things." Get ready for gruyere whipped potatoes, sausage and apple stuffing, green bean casserole, smoked prime rib and more. And don't forget to add a special bottle or two of Mt. Hood Brewing's hearty seasonal microbrews.

JANUARY TRADITIONS
Serving up galette des rois (king cake) in early January has been a French tradition since around the 14th century. St. Honore in Lake Oswego celebrates its French style with the galette. Composed of two circles of puff pastry sandwiching a frangipani filling, each comes with a crown and always has a small prize you can place inside of it for a lucky household member to find. It's available by the slice, as well as for preorder in their online shop, through January.
