Not Being Creative With Leftovers

Written by

I routinely cook with leftovers, and I make sure that very little food goes to waste in my house. I like making more food than we need for 4 of us on Shabbos. Partly that’s a holdover from when Ben used to join us every Friday night, and I’m not used to cooking less meat. […]

Alps – BTD eating on a tour

Written by

When we booked our trip, my Honorable Husband was having serious digestive problems and was still on a gluten and dairy free diet. I called the airline to ask about getting meals for special diets, and they didn’t have any trouble at all signing us both up for gluten free and dairy free. Oh my! […]

Written by

Written by

I had a preconceived idea about how Europeans ate. After a couple of days, I realized that most of what I thought was wrong. I knew that Europeans are much more serious about recycling than we are in America. I knew that Europeans are serious about fuel economy. They drive smaller cars; they ride bicycles […]

Alps, sleep and exercise

Written by

Before we left on our trip I did some serious thinking about how to minimize jetlag. In traveling from time zone to time zone in the US, I’ve found that the best thing to do is immediately reset my watch and go on the new time for meals and sleep. Friends who do lots of […]

Alps & European Toilets

Written by

We are back from a vacation in the Alps. I had hoped to blog while we were there, but wifi was often slow. That plus warnings that I would be wise to keep a low internet and social media profile while we were out of the country changed my plan. Now that I am home […]

Re-establishing a Routine. Again.

Written by

It feels like I’m always blogging about starting a routine or getting organized- yet most of these routines seem to fall apart after a while. A few months ago, I blogged about making a family lunch instead of a family dinner. That worked really well- that one time. I did it one other time and […]
