Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)
The Festive Fans decided to trek northeast to Greenland to see what the fuss was about. We found an incredible place the land of the Vikings, filled with towering icebergs, spectacular fjords, incredible wildlife, and the Northern Lights. OK, so now we get it.
We also watched a Christmas film called Krudt and Kaerlighed (Gunpowder and Love) from 2019, we learned about some of their favorite holiday traditions, and we discovered a spotty history with the U.S., and maybe the reason why the Greenlanders aren’t so enthused with our severe case of the gimmes.
We realize, it’s not easy being Greenland:
It's Not Easy Being Greenland
(to the tune of “Bein’ Green”)
It’s not that easy being Greenland,
ice and snow is pretty much only what we have,
and then the U.S. comes and they want to take, or possess or own us
or make us the fifty-first state like that
Its not easy being Greenland,
When you were not planning to be offered up for sale,
But now we’re considered to be “prime real estate”,
with flashy elements and minerals
That now make you desirable
but Greenland’s what you are,
and you’re happily cold and friendly-like
and Greenland is
home
to glaciers
the land
of the Vikings
and lit
by the northern lights
When Greenland is all you want to be
It can make you wonder why
Why change it why change it
We are Greenland
And we do fine
we are Danish ruled
And we know it’s what we want to be

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
