Hey — I’m trying out a new look. While I like the old one, I was never entirely satisfied. I think this cleaner style is a little more to my taste. Let me know what you think.
I’m also going to be focusing more on “prayers and practicles” for a while. I feel like I’ve moved away from the core goals I had for this site, and want to focus on fundamentals for a while. I’ll still post about other things too — but I’m hoping to be able to really focus on prayers, rituals, meditations, charms, and such for a while.
Do let me know what you think of the new look!
This was my quote of the day that is randomly chosen by my Palm Pilot from a list of quotes each day:
God is hiding in this world. Our task is to let the Divine emerge from our deeds
– Abraham Joseph Heschel

Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.
Blessed is the flame that burns in the secret fastness of the heart.
Blessed is the heart with strength to stop its beating for honor’s sake.
Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.
– Hannah Szenes

Here’s a happy thought for Earth Day. If Americans drove only 3% less this month — we would save enough oil to send gas prices tumbling. 3% people. Talk a walk tomorrow and leave the car at home. If we aren’t demanding as much, it gets better for everyone.
Another happy Earth Day thought. Start using longer term grocery bags. You don’t help the environment by using plastic bags. They are petroleum based. We use paper and then re-use them 5-6 times. When they start to go, we use them for newspaper recycling. Whole Foods sells sassy looking re-useable grocery bags for a whole $1. Your double latte costs more than $1.
Go enjoy the Earth.
Blessed be the Presence that fills the universe and gave us stewardship of the Earth.

Seder was great. I can’t believe I’m going to do it again tonight at my sister’s. Found a couple of more typos that my editors missed in the haggadah. I’ll be fixing those. There were only three that really caught my attention, so I’m pretty pleased.
Dinner was great. Company was great. Only managed to break a couple of things while cleaning up. I’m so tired now it’s ridiculous and really wish I didn’t have a busy day at work.
Happy Pesach!

The links are to either the recipe or the cookbook. There are a couple of things that don’t have recipe, so that’s why they aren’t linked.
The Menu:
Fish and Salad
Smoked Salmon and Egg Canapes on Matzah Crackers
Spinach Salad with Grapefruit, Orange and Avocado
Main Course
Lamb Kabobs
Quinoa Salad
Cucumber Lemon Salad
Mushroom and Tofu Marsala
Algerian-style Charoset
Dessert
White Stilton with Mango and Ginger
Pineapple
Kiwi
p.s. yes, I know that tofu is not kosher according to Ashkenazi — but I tend to follow Sephardic rules for Pesach. And since I’m serving cheese as dessert after lamb kabobs — I think it’s clear that I don’t keep trad-kosher. And yes, the lamb is from an eco-friendly farm. I’ve even met the farmers and they are good, decent people who believe in doing things right and treating the animals with respect.
