I suppose one always has to start somewhere. This is my second attempt at creating a blog. Well, "creating" one isn't problematic - its the maintenance. Kinda like weight loss.
Inspired by the "Garden of Eating", I felt perhaps it was time to document some of our culinary favourites - those recipes we've tried, excelled at, and yes, even failed.
Some of my own personal favourites, and certainly almost everything I consider "comfort food" are stored in my mom's head...some of which are documented in a barely-there notebook, in my mothers handwriting -- her favourites from her childhood growing up in Romania and blended with the Israeli influence of my youth. I should probably ask her one day what drew her to document just those ones.. was she preparing something for me to hand down to my kdis too? I do konw that I am not brave enough to attempt many of those recipes - not for fear of not replicating a life-time favourite -- rather, the imprecise measurement units utilized throughout....how does one really select the right "beautiful cauliflower" or a "good size squash"?
I hope that we can create something of mild interest to some -- but if not, at least we'll have an archive of our recipes that, one day, our children will appreciate. Ya, like that'll ever happen.
