Just in time to make my Shabbos festive and my Memorial Day weekend glorious, this article came out in Kivo Daily:
Kosher Cookbook Takes Global Cooking to New Levels, with Its Release Drawing from Cultural Roots and Historical Anecdotes
I am totally thrilled! As I am informed by Foodimentary that today is a National Wine Day, I am drinking to you, Beautiful People, and I thank you for your constant support!
Cheers!
Even more exciting to me is that my granddaughter Alisia just came back from a Young Writers’ Conference (NEWYC) at the Bread Loaf campus in Vermont. This highly competitive conference is a four day writing-focused workshop for high school students. Aly was admitted on the strength of an excerpt from a story she’s been working on this year called “Sweet Bay.” Here she is, reading “Sweet Bay.”
I can’t leave you without a recipe, though, so have a drink on me:
Have a fabulous weekend, Beautiful People – enjoy!

Thank you so much, Carol! As to my granddaughter, my son’s comment was: “Well, you write, I write, she writes…” He had graduated from Brandeis at the age of 21 with a published book, so he expects nothing less of his daughter, while I am completely elated!

My pleasure! Always! We are “airing” over twitter, facebook and a lot of connected rss-feed receivers. There is always a way getting the voice out of the box, also with “privaticised” blog. Lol

Giveaway is way over, but the cookie offer stands, Jonathan! Thank you for the compliments, both for myself, but even more so for my granddaughter. I think grandmothers are allowed to brag. Alisia has outdone her father: my son graduated from college with a published book, but her first book was published while still in 12th grade!
Thank you for reblogging, dear friend!
