We had the best time. Babka bake at Congregation Habonim on the UWS of NYC. Each guest - yes men were also invited - made a cinnamon and a chocolate babka. No group too large or too small. And what a great way to get congregants or family or friends together for an evening of fun and food !! Pm for details. Will travel !

Let's do a sourdough class in Miami

When you just need to have bread everyday ... make it sourdough. Make it sourdough from The Challah Fairy. Sliced very thin. Doesn't need to be thick. For quality control purposes I had to have one. Toasted with a shmear of homemade mayonnaise - yummm - is there any other way to have mayo - with a thick slice of beefsteak tomato and a sprinkle od salt. I am in heaven. Don't even talk to me. Oh. And I just started watching Pretty Woman on Netflix for the gazillionth time. Such a fun movie.

Today is Yom Hashoah. Holocaust Remembrance Day. Truthfullly. I think about the Holocaust almost every day. I am a first generation American. Every year I think of something new to share with "you", my friends. When my father was liberated from Bergen Belsen at the age of 11-1/2, he was an orphan. His amazing parents were both gone. His father, a diamond cutter, was wanted by the Germans for the war effort. This was a "hard no". And so, after they were brought to BB, he was taken to a different camp. We were notified years later that he was not treated well. Read between the lines. His mom was taken to a different camp where she was forced to work in a salt mine, where she sadly succumbed. Opa and Oma had a home in Amsterdam Holland which was infused with middos. It was open to guests and Oma was a super hostess. I used to tell my Dad, z"l, who passed away almost four years ago, how much his parents would have absolutely adored us all. Today his parents have a living legacy of well over 120 great grandchildren. Dad...we all miss you so much. Your wise advice about our health, your incredible knowledge about almost any subject, your love and respect of Mom, your incredible commitment to being an observant Jew despite everything you went through and so much else,continues to guide us. I wonder what you told your parents when they greeted you in Gan Eden. Love you Dad.

On a whim someone (my husband) ordered 24 sandwiches for an event. Fresh rolls. Lox and cream cheese. Egg salad and slivered tomato slices. And Tuna made without mayo (the best tuna you’ll ever have) with lettuce. Wrapped. Labeled and cut in half. Pm me for info.

Shockingly enough …. My first Babka bake! In Chappaqua Westchester. Each guest rolled out and prepared a cinnamon babka and a chocolate babka. Not sure who had more fun. Me or them. All cakes were brought home to bake. All ingredients or pre-measured and I must say it was a hugely successful and fun event. PM for details or to find out about making one in your community !!

Perfect example of when life supplies you with lemons, make lemonade. I surprised my amazing niece (in NYC) who is gluten intolerant, with a box full of goodies. Challah Fairy , sourdough, babka and gluten free sourdough She was so happy. Immediately sliced and toasted the gluten free and prepared this yummy sandwich for lunch. Much better than lemonade but you get the point !!
