My husbands’ favorite Ice cream
I’m loathe to post a recipe made with Rich’s whip, the pareve ersatz cream that has become such a great favorite among the kosher set. That’s because Rich’s is a pseudo food. Read the label- HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED COCONUT OIL, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED PALM KERNEL OIL. Those aren’t things I stock in my … Continue reading
Home Made Sahlab
Until my son Aryeh showed me how I didn’t believe that Sahlab was something I could made at home. Let me correct that. I know that there are sahlab mixes on the market. I’ve used them to make the classic Middle Eastern sweet milk pudding, but how could I make sahlab without a mix? “It’s … Continue reading
There is nothing awful about offal: Sauteed Miltz
Offal is the British name for animal gut, what we Americans euphemistically call or organ or “variety meats.’ I prefer the British term because it sounds like “awful” which is the opinion most people have of this type of food.

For L’ag B’Omer, Bar Yochai Bars, Carob of course.
Growing up I thought I knew the scoop on L’ag B’Omer . The story I was told was about Rabbi Akiva’s students who disrespected one another and then died in a plague. On L’ag B’Omer (the 33rd day of the Omer count which spans from Passover until Shavuot) they stopped dying and we celebrate. Now that I lived in Israel … Continue reading

World’s Easiest BBQ Sauce
Like nearly everyone else in this country, my kids got the barbeque bug last night. Me, I was dog tired after standing on a nearly endless line at Osher Ad (remember endless bliss) supermarket… The truth is that the wait wasn’t really so bad. I struck up a conversation with a lovely woman from Samara, not Samarkand … Continue reading

Did you know that the Purim miracle really occured during Pesach? Well it did. Esther actually fasted on Pesach, which isn’t ordinarily permitted -we Jews don’t fast on festivals, but with Haman’s genocidal threat in the air the Rabbis allowed the fast.And it worked The nation united, Hashem heard our plea and Haman went to the … Continue reading
