We were at my SIL and BIL’s house, Yo & Len for a Shabbat recently and were relaxing and enjoying each other’s company (missed having Stu & Suzy with us but next time) and I always wait to see what new ideas Yo comes up with. She had a few things I particularly enjoyed but […]
Not long ago, we were invited for a Shabbat meal to my SIL Diane and bro Avi and in addition to the pleasure of their company, Diane whipped up a something thatt particularly wowed me – this fabulous red cabbage salad. It had an amazing dressing (crazy simple, it turns out) and was crunchy and […]
We have moved! It’s been a heck of a time and my back and I are barely on speaking terms (I’ve got muscle aches I didn’t know existed) and me and DH keep wondering why we’re so tired (ahhh really?) but with the help of kids and grandkids with packing and not – (some are […]
So, we are moving house. This is what I call a big deal since it’s going through the detritus of myriad years, 18 in this home, to be precise, and whilst we’ve moved in the past, we are leaving a neighborhood in which we’ve lived for lo these 40 years. We are moving from the […]

Got about 25 or so minutes to make dinner? This is perfect and super delish to boot. I used skinless, boneless chicken thighs to prepare this dish and it was truly fabulous. If you wish to use regular bone in, skin on chicken, I will give you (below) the cook time (longer than skinless, boneless, […]
A lot has happened since last I posted, the holiday of Succot has passed, I had a birthday and last but most definitely not least, our living hostages have come home. We thank G-d for many things, generally on a personal level – health and happiness, family and livelihood but my tiny beloved country loves […]
As my regular readers already know, I love to develop new recipes and in general play around in the kitchen. I’m a big fan of biscotti since I love crunchy cookie like objects and find that coffee and chocolate makes my palate hum in happiness. I quite deliberately didn’t add chocolate chips to the recipe […]
As the holiday of Rosh HaShana comes ever closer, I like to prepare myself mentally, spiritually and physically. For the physical part, we bring in the New Year traditionally, with something sweet, generally with honey although sweet foods are always a theme. This year, I decided to go with a “milk” and honey theme, since […]
