I’m having one of those days where it feels like the world is out to get me. Of course I’m dramatic and despite the fact that I can realize it, it doesn’t change my mood. So I decided to take a walk down memory lane to help put in perspective how good I really have it. Unfortunately the blog that […]

As mentioned earlier in the week, I’m in the midst of the eight day Passover challenge. Keeping Passover has always been a challenge but now trying to manage Gabby’s allergies and keep Passover is REALLY difficult. Last night I made a meal that I was rather proud of.

Today was a special day. Not special in the unique sorta way but special in the happiness I experienced. The funny part is that it was an absolutely ordinary day but that was the amazing part about it. Someone asked me recently if I miss my job. I loved my job. I’m not sure I could have liked a job […]

With Passover starting Friday at sundown, my life has reached a new challenging level. In addition to cooking for Gabby’s allergies, Drew’s tastes and my low-fat requirements, I now have to stay away from bread products. For 8 days, Jewish people are not supposed to have bread products. Some Jews take this much more serious than I do – eliminating […]

I realize I may not always be the best source. Is it possible I have a brain in my head considering I keep crashing my car? Then there’s the fact that I sometimes like things that…aren’t exactly intellectually stimulating. And sometimes I think my taste in some things has stayed at the same place I was when I was the […]
