DH and I grew up with American Chinese restaurants (now called Asian or fusion but I’m talking about the old fashioned kind) and we both loooooooved the hot and sour soup they used to serve. Since I have a sensitivity to MSG, many of the restaurants today which serve this soup, sadly, tell me, oops […]
My friend Miriam and I took a day off to hang out together, something we don’t get to do too often but plan like a military campaign when we do. That is, Miriam does, I am the straggler who gets swept along in her wake. She’s a bundle of energy and since we normally get […]
I wait all year for the summer fruits to come into the markets. Since they are seasonal, they are especially exciting since you have time to yearn for them, if you get me, and these kinds of fruits were sorta born to be crumbled. (Recently I had a fresh summer fruit compote that wowed both […]
I’ve been feeling neglectful of my readers since DH and I were traveling rather more than usual lately and I haven’t posted so much. (A post will soon be coming, please G-d, about our most recent stay). So here you go, a second post in one week. I prepared this since DH wanted something cold […]

Me n DH have been traveling and I haven’t had a chance to post, but this is a post I’ve wanted to put up since before Passover. Why, you may reasonably ask? Because I developed it with Passover in mind initially, with it able to be switched to regular cookery in a snap. I chose […]
This is a hearty salad and has a lovely freshness from the fresh chopped parsley (do try to use fresh parsley for this, it adds a tremendous amount of flavor). It starts off with the bright green of the parsley and peas but when left overnight in the fridge (this does very well made ahead […]
For those who haven’t made this delectable concoction before, the idea is to take ladyfingers, an Italian cookie (sorta in the shape of a lady’s finger) and to dip them – NOT soak them or they literally dissolve – in a coffee/liquor combo and use them as the “cake” which sandwiches the cream cheese/whipped cream […]
