We’ve been having some real winter weather, gusty, cold and rainy and I was in the mood for a proper bowl of soup. When I was about 17 or so, I was in Israel on a 3 month trip for studies and was based in Tel Aviv. Some friends said, let’s go to Jerusalem, there’s […]
Since it’s still Chanukah time we have the opportunity for one more frying post (hey, I really don’t fry that often, I promise!). In any event, I needed to wait till the dust settled with the kids over and grandkids rampaging through the house (in a good way) and spending precious time together and supporting […]
It’s time for frying again, Chanukah is nearly upon us. Normally we go away with all the kids and grandkids for Shabbat Chanukah, but nothing is normal now with the war.

Although this is a food blog, I share some of my life’s events with you and ask you to bear with me here. Our beloved niece Adina has passed away. A wife to Tuvia, her incredible husband who stood by her side through their joys in life and now in her darkest hours and showed […]
I was asked to prepare a meal for people dear to us and wanted it to be both comforting and fun and a little different during these difficult times, so I decided to go with this shawarma recipe. I happened upon it by accident, when at my daughter Batya’s house on a Friday watching her […]
