I had forgotten how beautiful Spring is on the East Coast. Tulips and Daffodils are everywhere, poking their heads through even the most unwelcoming strips of land, and Golden Forsythia, White Dogwood, and Pink Redbud are all in full bloom. After having spent hours in the kitchen preparing for Seder, the next day was sunny [...]

When I was growing up, Sunday was my father’s day to cook. The menu never varied, it was always broiled steaks and lamb chops, a salad, and home-made french fries. My father prided himself on knowing his way around a kitchen. He would peel and cut the fries in a particular way, preferring a thick [...]

Tonight is Tisha B’Av, a fast day. Admittedly it is a day that I struggle with, but not my husband Norm. He will be home any minute and will want to eat and run off to shul. That meant preparing a light and easy meal. Fish is something that I enjoy on occasion but certainly [...]

I was 16 years old, it was my first trip away from home, and I was going abroad. Although my parents had never been to Israel, they decided to send me on a summer program. I was nervous and excited and had no idea what to expect. I didn’t know anybody else in my group [...]

Mother’s Day may feel like a Hallmark holiday but it does force us to stop whatever we are doing for a minute, an hour, or a day, and think about our mothers or our role as mothers. My mother was a petite, olive-skinned woman with medium brown hair and the deepest set blue-grey eyes I [...]

We are weeks away from Passover and I am starting to feel the pressure. What is it about this holiday that brings out an obsession with cleanliness in a way that is totally and completely out of character? I approach the task with a vengeance, a virtual attack on that lurking piece of hametz that might [...]
Brownies and Good Neighbors

When we moved into our home in Beverlywood about 21 years ago our next door neighbor immediately greeted us with a cake. Having grown up in an apartment building in The Bronx, I always thought that particular tradition was something that only happened in the movies. Sara S. and her husband Ben had built their home [...]
