Passover is just around the corner so we’re eating as much chametz as possible. For breakfast today: German apple pancakes with fresh vanilla whipped cream and a sprinkling of ruby raspberries. Isn’t it pretty? As far as this baker is concerned, an entire week without flour or grain products...

It’s funny but the older I get the more I realize how I’m turning into my grandmother (my parents too, but that’s another entry). I’ve had a suspicion that this was the case for some time, but it was finally confirmed last week when - just like Nana - I got hooked on a telenovela....

The Indifferent Stars Above: The Harrowing Saga of a Donner Party Bride By Daniel James Brown
It's not often that a history book will compel me to set all my novels aside, but "The Indifferent Stars Above" certainly did. Within the first few pages I was spellbound.
