You can also find this recipe, as well as almost 400 pages of other delicious recipes and fascinating stories in my book, available both in hard copy and electronically at Amazon.com/author/koolkosherkitchen.

I also haven’t spoken it for many years, but with me it was always a literary language, rather than a spoken one. And I learned it with a heavy Austrian accent, from my great-grandmother.

Yes Ma’am, and I do appreciate you…. OH WOW, what is that smell???? I haven’t had lunch, and my 86 year old Step-Father had lunch by himself.
My Little brotheer passed away, and it took a whole lot out of me, Frank was my Best Friend for 63 Years.
So I finally got the old motivation at least fired up.
Have a great day and I will be watching my mail.

I don’t know about you, Robert, but I just had a spinach salad with blueberries and raspberries, and some coconut shreds on top for fun. Making a non-dairy milkshake to chase it with.
Bon appetite, and thank you for sharing with me about your brother!
