We were there during the deepest part of the economic meltdown, June 2015. Spent the largest part of our time in Nafplio, exploring the ancient sites of the Peloponnese, then two days in Athens.

You got here before me. No anchovy bits. Worcestershire sauce has anchovy in it. 

I’m a bit late to the conversation, but I just learned something incredibly valuable: Lace your shoes properly. How the shoes are laced from the factory won’t work for everyone.

Make a whole lot of the topping, clumps and all. Spread on a sheet pan and freeze. Store in an air tight container in the freezer. Great for an easy dessert for one. Change the fruit as the seasons change.

Class of 1976. Went to the 10th. Everyone instantly went into their cliques. I saw a few people I knew, small talk. Not enough time had passed for anything really interesting to have happened. Never went again.

I like multi-taskers, like using an egg slicer for mushrooms.

Chicken Spread. Dark meat, mayo, celery, salt, pepper, garlic powder, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce. Food processor until smooth. Spread on Gouda flavor triscuits or rye bread wth dill pickle slices. Just made some yesterday.

In my family, the big fight over raisins/no raisins in the kugel is one of my favorite food memories.

The 1937 version stars Janet Gaynor and was written (in part) by Dorothy Parker. That story was based on “What Price Hollywood?” a 1932 pre-code movie starring the luminous Constance Bennett, which was based on a story by Adele Rogers St. John. So that makes the new version the 6 times great grandchild of St. John’s…

To do this, tap on any name in the Contacts app, then the three dots to the top right, then Set ringtone.

I had not heard that poem before, now I can savor it over and over, seeing Miss Tyson bring it to life in my mind. It was a magical moment and it summed Miss Franklin’s gift and legacy so brilliantly.

Yes, very much yes. It was, is and will always be the perfect size iPad for me. I use it so much at home, and have traveled with it as a portable entertainment center, filled with games, music, videos, books and streaming apps. The larger iPad is just cumbersome. I am so very sad that Apple has turned its back on such…

A flyer arrived at my apartment this week.

The Ginger People make bottles of ginger juice. I found it at a local "alternative" grocery store. I mix it with carrot juice, orange juice, lime juice and water for my favorite refreshing beverage.

It sounds like the soundtrack for Forbidden Planet!

I’ve never thought of kugel as a dessert before, but it reminds me of all of my childhood Yom Kippur break-the-fasts. They were always dairy: with bagels, lox, etc., salads, smoked fish and two kugels-one with raisins and one without (Uncle Lenny didn’t like raisins) and 25 relatives. A great kugel is a thing of…

Mom used to make her mother’s recipe for spinach borscht on hot summer days, served with a big dollop of sour cream. It was made with frozen spinach and evaporated milk, I have the recipe somewhere.

Once again, I live a vicarious experience through the masterwork of Claire Lower, the most brilliant interpreter of the American culinary landscape. From sea to shining sea. A very happy July 4th to you.

Amen, sister. My favorite is a Hebrew National, broiled or grilled (if you have a grill) until crispy and slightly black, in a gently steamed bun.

Filthy rugrat here and I love Jello. I started buying the little jello cup 4 packs, (sugar free for my type 2 diabetes) and I noticed it’s much firmer than the kind I make from a package. I’ve got a few boxes in the cupboard, I’m getting my builder on.
