Time For Spring Cleaning

It’s that time of year again.  Spring is finally here, even if it still doesn’t quite seem like it, and Passover has come and gone.  I am now in what I have begun to think of as “Phase II” of my Passover and spring cleaning.  Phase I, which comes before the holiday, is tedious and… Read More Time For Spring Cleaning

Wait, Don’t Throw That Away!

This week on my Twitter feed, I came across a photo posted by the famous chef and restauranteur, Yotam Ottolenghi.  In the photo was a menu he had created as guest chef for a “WastED Tea” on the rooftop of the famous Selfridges department store in London.  Each dish and beverage was carefully outlined, including… Read More Wait, Don’t Throw That Away!

Home is Where the Cookies Are

We were expecting a blizzard this week, but mostly got an icy, slushy mess.  Still, it was enough to give us one and a half snow days, and lots of family time at home.  It’s pretty much a given that whenever a snow day is predicted, I first check to make sure we have enough… Read More Home is Where the Cookies Are

Prepping for the Apocalypse

A week or so ago, my husband was flipping through the flyers that come in the mail from the local supermarkets.  Noting a sale on canned goods, he casually, without making eye-contact, asks me if I will go ahead and stock up on my next shopping trip.  He is hoping to avoid the relentless teasing… Read More Prepping for the Apocalypse

Kitchen Confessions of a Rabbi’s Wife

One of the weirder parts of my life as a rabbi’s wife, particularly of a rabbi who’s really good at his job, is constantly being told how amazing my husband is.  (I happen to know it’s not just me either.  A friend, and fellow rebbitzen, once confided in me that she had to seek out… Read More Kitchen Confessions of a Rabbi’s Wife

Three Stars and A Wish: February 17, 2017

It has been a busy couple of weeks around our house.  Perhaps you noticed (or maybe you didn’t) that I skipped this post last Friday.  After a pretty mild winter, we finally got a few good snowstorms, which meant the kids also had a few good days off from school.  This didn’t leave much writing… Read More Three Stars and A Wish: February 17, 2017

Tu B’Shevat: Rethinking the Rituals of Eating

This past week, I attended my first Tu B’Shevat Seder in many, many years.  Though most people, Jews and non-Jews alike, are pretty familiar with the Passover Seder, not all are as well acquainted with its tastier, happier cousin, the Tu B’Shevat Seder.  Tu B’Shevat is described as the new year of the trees, and… Read More Tu B’Shevat: Rethinking the Rituals of Eating

3 Stars and a Wish

So, this week we finally got past most of the sicknesses that have been making the rounds in our house.  Frankly, between politics and germs (which, now that I think about it, have a lot in common!), it’s been a rough month, and while almost everyone is feeling better, we have all been tired and… Read More 3 Stars and a Wish

Collective Memory: Mind, Body and Bowl

A couple of weeks ago, I made my first two loaves of homemade challah in probably more than three years.  I had made challah religiously (pun intended!) just about every week for Shabbat for the better part of 10 years, but paused when my son became gluten intolerant, and then stopped altogether once my daughter… Read More Collective Memory: Mind, Body and Bowl

For the Love of Cookbooks…

From time to time, while my children play on the I-pads at our public library, I like to peruse the cookbook section.  A few months ago, I took out a cookbook entitled, It’s All Good, by Gwyneth Paltrow—yes, THAT Gwyneth Paltrow.  “Really?,” my husband asked when I brought it home.  “Seriously?,” he asked when I… Read More For the Love of Cookbooks…
