Tu’Bishvat was always amusing when my kids were little. I’d mention the word “Seder” and the entire family would start running in the opposite direction moaning and groaning about what a pain in the butt cleaning is. I am like, no, wait, stop, it’s not time for the kind of […]

Ok, so you go to that fancy restaurant for a “special meal” (in a past life and hopefully in a not-too-distant future) you may have been served something called an Amuse Bouche (to sound “French” authentic you pronounce it “amuze boosh”). You didn’t order it, it just showed up as […]

In the movie version of my life, when asked which way I prefer my pepper served, my inner James Bond-ish answer isn’t the “shaken not stirred” Sean Connery quip but rather I’ll have the cracked not ground bon mot. Since, Hollywood hasn’t been knocking for my words of wisdom, I’ll […]

O K, sports fans, it’s the end of the first quarter, the bases are loaded, one more goal and it’s a hat trick. The quarterback takes the snap. He runs down the court, the clock is ticking………he shoots, he scores, and — Hey, ref, he was fouled! In my dyslexic […]

If you think that the incidences of gluten allergies and intolerance are on the rise you would absolutely be correct. At least once a day I get a request for gluten free recipes or an earnest request to help me convert a family favorite into the gluten free equivalent Wheat […]

It’s an age-old question that has mystified culinary theologians for millennia, which came first and which tastes better, the cupcake or the muffin? As if that conundrum weren’t enough to make you ponder the meaning of the universe while watching the Great British Bake-Off consider, is there REALLY a difference […]

Chicken soup has long been touted as the penicillin of the culinary world. Good for whatever physical ailment you are suffering from and every mother (or father, truly, I am all for equal cooking opportunities in the kitchen) knows that the “secret” ingredient you must add that makes a good […]

I am so not a barista. I can make a decent cup of coffee without a pod or a jar of instant but it’s just a cup of coffee. In fact, while I love the aroma, flavor and taste of coffee in a drink, I do not really like drinking […]
