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.

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 🙂 . […]
Okay, so the title is decadent much? Yeah, that’s before you taste the fish! 😉 . I’m always looking for a new way to make a tasty fish dish and I find that even a little butter goes a long way. Its indefinable flavor adds such richness of taste that one small pat thrown in […]
