This has been a busy week.
I was looking forward to going to the Kosher food and wine experience. But G-D is in charge not me.....I often think I am in charge, but I am not. Monday morning we found out that my husbands Grandmother in Israel passed away. My Father-in-Law and his 2 sisters have been with us all week sitting Shiva(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_%28Judaism%29) .
So there went my getaway to NY.
I was now in Shiva mode. The family was sitting in my home out of convenience. I am so happy that I can do this. My only wish would have been for my house to magically grow. Oh well, my magic powers are not real, only in my imagination.
I love to cook and I love to do everything myself. I hate having to ask for help!!!!! My friends know that. Monday, I made 8 dozen cookies, by Tuesday morning they were almost gone. My sister in law from Milwaukee, Sara, sent rugelach,(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugelach), 2 huge bags, one cinnamon and one chocolate. They were gone fast as well. I knew I was in trouble. Traditionally people send over food, bu no food was coming. I was starting to feel overwhelmed. Thank G for facebook. I put out word that i needed help. First people didn't take me seriously, then my friends saw that I was serious and the food came pouring in!!! thank you to all my amazing friends!!!
A friend sent over bagels and cream cheese (thank you). On the platter was a blueberry bagel, I decided to give it a try. WOW! weird!!!!! your taste buds say bagel, but your brain says blueberry muffin. so odd. Wasn't sure if I liked it or not. Took me half the bagel to decide that a blueberry muffin should not have cream cheese, or cheese or tuna on it, so the bagel is not a winner in my mind.
I would love to post an amazing recipe but I have not cooked in a few days. The only things i have done is cleaned up hundreds of paper plates, and plastic utensils. I would like to take this time to apologize to the environment. i never take you for granted and I am sorry for all the Styrofoam!
I would like to say, I am sorry for the loss in our family. I am not sorry for the time I got to spend with Aunt Alix and Aunt Phyllis. Amazing worrier women, and I am glad to call them my aunts!
Till next time....happy cooking......
