I decided to post a quick post now that the dust has (more or less) settled. We had all the kids over for the first day of the holiday of Succot, we were hoping to be 32 but in the end one guest disappeared and our two soldiers, our grandson Lavi and our SIL Eyal […]
I’m still working (a bit frantically) to get out a Rosh Hashana recipe amalgamation post, with having some techie difficulties (My son Yehuda my computer go-to guy has been called too many times, lucky he loves me) but I will do my best, I hear you guys calling my name. In any case, this post […]

We had some leftover blueberries (an almost unheard of thing for us) that even DH admitted were too sour to eat and I overbought nectarines although peaches work in this fragrant and yummy quick bread equally well.

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 […]
