Cooking is a surprisingly great distraction when you’re fasting. I don’t usually fast, trust me, but on Yom Kippur (Sept. 27-28, ‘09) it’s part of the holiday. When I need to taste something, I just ask James to be my taster for more salt or pepper or any other ingredient.
Even though I’m standing over [...]

The jumble here means anything that looked good in my cabinet. I had regular and golden raisins, dried cranberries and walnuts. Next time it could mean chocolate chips, pecans and apricots. The bananas needed to be incorporated since they were a day or two away from just being tossed and the result was a hybrid [...]

First let’s talk about Purim (which took place March 10, ‘09). The history: A holiday not in the Torah, but from the Book of Esther. The story is in and read from the Megillah. Esther married the King of Persia (without him knowing she was Jewish). The king’s aide, Haman, wanted to kill the [...]
Emily’s Favorite Cookie

James: Is this your favorite recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies?
Emily: Not necessarily, any oatmeal raisin cookie that is delicious is my favorite.
Ain’t that the truth! You could put any sort of cookie in front of me and I’d probably be happy, but my all time favorite is an old fashion oatmeal raisin. They’re not too [...]

It’s my first Christmas in my first apartment with James with our first real Christmas tree. I’m learning how to celebrate this new holiday that will now be constant in my life and in my house during the holiday season. One item that seemed “Christmas-y” to me was ginger bread cookies.
