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 […]
I wait all year for the summer fruits to come into the markets. Since they are seasonal, they are especially exciting since you have time to yearn for them, if you get me, and these kinds of fruits were sorta born to be crumbled. (Recently I had a fresh summer fruit compote that wowed both […]
I’ve been feeling neglectful of my readers since DH and I were traveling rather more than usual lately and I haven’t posted so much. (A post will soon be coming, please G-d, about our most recent stay). So here you go, a second post in one week. I prepared this since DH wanted something cold […]
This is my recipe for old fashioned fried fish with egg and breadcrumbs, which really is amazing when eaten hot off the pan but does surprisingly well as a cold dish and you can also put it in a sandwich with a hamburger bun and lettuce, tomato and mayo or mix together some ketchup and […]

For those who haven’t made this delectable concoction before, the idea is to take ladyfingers, an Italian cookie (sorta in the shape of a lady’s finger) and to dip them – NOT soak them or they literally dissolve – in a coffee/liquor combo and use them as the “cake” which sandwiches the cream cheese/whipped cream […]
I was in a tearing hurry and wanted to throw together a fast and fab salad without too much effort. Also, I have a friend who’s allergic to soy sauce and sorta put in a request for soy sauce free dressings and I figured, sure, let’s do that! I’m extremely pleased with the results both […]
