This chicken dish is as beautiful as it is tasty. As I mentioned, I had some wonderful quality time with my girlfriends Paulette and Estrella and we also had wonderful meals at Paulette and Doug. Friday night, Paulette outdid herself and made a main course I particularly fell in love with which she served us […]
Generally speaking, my son Netanel is a straightforward young man and when he expresses himself, he is direct, in a good way. Once in a while, however, he can be clever and somewhat manipulative, but in a good way. 🙂 What I mean is, he called me at the office and nudged me several times […]
In our travels, we’ve met a lovely fellow who is a cook for friends of ours whom we appreciate very much. Miguel served us a delicious vegetable soup which tasted like it was creamed but when I asked for the recipe, he graciously explained how he made it but I realized, there were instructions missing […]
We’ve been travelling, DH and I, and had the great good fortune to hang out with our dear friends Doug and Paulette and of course, shared wonderful meals. Very soon I will post about her incredible chicken dish but I digress. I got home on Thursday, far too exhausted to both cook and blog so […]
So, I’m delighted to say that our youngest son, Netanel, has become engaged to be married.

As her future MIL, I’m doing my best to start off […]

I am in general a fan of citrus since I feel it wakes up the palate, and gives your mouth joy, but when combined with ingredients that harmonize well with it rather than overpower […]
This is actually tuna-cheese stuffed potatoes and it’s like a tuna melt but instead of bread, you have potatoes with sauce. You can skip the tuna and keep this vegetarian, if you choose. This is definitely a comfort food and while not an instant food it’s not hard to put together. Normally, I’d cook the […]
Split pea soup is one of my favorite soups and the nice thing about it is that it’s fairly simple to make, nice and filling and can be made vegetarian and meat and taste yum both ways. Often if I’m preparing it for Shabbat, I will slice up some kielbasa or kabanos and toss it […]
I won’t lie to you, I wouldn’t have bought myself a sous vide machine on my own. I’ve got so many kitchen gadgets on my countertops that I’m afraid DH will freak. Except he tends to buy me some of them just cuz he likes my experimentation – most of the time, anyway 🙂 . […]
