an honest lifestyle
I am sad, guys. I am sitting here with a massive bowl of soggy cereal, looking up my course book lists. Vacation is over. Nine beautiful days on the Cape, and we are home again. At least the weather was terrible today, so we didn’t feel like the Cape was mocking us for leaving. I’ll […]
Read MoreSo after a pretty lame week last week, I just got home (like, an hour ago) from five days of traveling through six states. My dad’s best friend since high school, Dan, has a daughter, Razie, who is basically my big sister. Razie and her awesome fiancé got married this weekend!!! They live in Israel, […]

I hope everyone had a good weekend! I had a totally exhausting week; it is so hard to walk around on a boot cast! None of my shoes are the same height as the boot, so after about a day, my back was all uneven, which is super uncomfortable. You know, in addition to the […]
Read More22! Sorry for the overly-quoted, typical Taylor Swift song reference, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! I turned the big two-two last week, and had a pretty wonderful weekend, thanks to my family and some amazing friends. My little sister took me out for dinner and we saw Pitch Perfect 2 together. My parents gave me […]
Read MoreOne of the best parts about being on a different continent is Israel’s proximity to other countries. It is so expensive to travel from America to anywhere, but within Europe and the Middle East, you can fly country-to-country for much cheaper. So when I decided to spend the semester in Israel, my parents told me […]
Read MoreFirst week in Tel Aviv, first week at a new university… Obviously I have a lot to say. And I will say it. And you can feel free to read it, or not. But for the visual people who don’t want to peruse my ramblings, here’s a photo post about my first week in Tel […]
Read MoreIt’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 […]
Read MoreHappy 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 […]
Read MoreAs 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 […]
Read MoreI 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 […]
