Into November

It’s true what they say, time flies when you’re having fun.  A few hiccups aside, I am beyond happy here, and dreading it all ending.  That being said, here are a few photos post-North Trip through Halloween and the past week or so… Breakfast for dinner obviously means mimosas. Enjoying beach weekends… thank god for […]

A Week in the Settlements

Before I talk about my week in the West Bank, I have a disclaimer: I don’t really partake in the West Bank settlements conflict.  Not because I don’t have feelings about my country, rather, because I love Israel so much, and the number of problems it has makes me too emotional and upset.  Between outside […]

The Land of Milk and Honey

Hi from Israel!  This is my first post in over two weeks, but only because it’s been a crazy, transcontinental, time-shifting two weeks.  The Sunday before last, I boarded a plane to London, had breakfast in London, and then boarded another plane to Tel Aviv only an hour later.  Three continents in twenty-four hours.  It […]

It’s my last week in Boston… oh my god.  I am not even close to being packed, having started watching Parenthood yesterday.  I now have a half-empty suitcase and a full-on obsession with the Braverman family.  Anyway, here’s a photographic/link-o-graphic (my new made-up word) recap of my week… I can’t stand the music video for Miley […]

Happy New Year to all my fellow Jews, and happy September to all!  This week’s finds: Addie.  Freaking.  Hamilton.  This girl has one of those unique voices.  Think Billie Holiday.  She only has two videos on her youtube channel so far, but her take on “Blurred Lines” is awesome. Tom Hiddleston, my celeb crush/all-around awesome […]

Favorite Food: Shakshouka

As a non-picky eater, and a Jew, I am a huge fan of Shakshouka.  Honestly, anything with eggs and vegetables, and I’m good to go.  So in preparation for my upcoming trip to Israel, I decided to make up my own shakshouka recipe.  It’s a pretty versatile dish, because the only staple ingredients are tomatoes […]

Best of Summer

It’s September 1st, Labor Day weekend, so summer is over.  I’m getting ready to move to Israel for rest of 2013, and I’m very excited about that.  But there’s always something so heartbreaking about the end of summer.  Summer is a romantic season, full of adventure, late nights, and beach days.  Tomorrow, I’ll drive over […]

Favorite Food: Kale Chips

I was raised in a big Jewish kitchen.  My mom, averse to the confines of recipes, taught me how to spice and experiment.  She cooks, bakes, feeds, and astounds.  My dad also cooks – pastas in rich sauces for me, his vegetarian black sheep, and chicken or BBQ for himself and everyone else.  Shabbat dinners […]
