http://chayyeisarah.blogspot.com/2014/04/moscow-part-xvii-on-way-to-marina-roscha.html

Trying to keep things in perspective, be the best Jew I can be, and say things that need to be said. Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Moscow (Part XVII - On the Way to Marina Roscha).

Breeding Imperfection: comfort food

http://breedingimperfection.blogspot.com/2012/01/comfort-food.html

Minor chaos of a grad school drop-out, parenting (and cooking for) two small boys, loving one bean-counting man, dealing with hemophilia, mammoth allergies and trying to find my own feet.

Untidy - and uncertain. Rob'...

They're here. Somewhere. Monday, December 27, 2010. And the weather outside is - well, you know. Said the Toddles, watching the steam rise from my hair. It must be cold out there. After two hours of being one with the snow shovel? A half-hour later, the ginger had simmered in sugar water, mellowing into translucence.

Oh, that helps! The place st...
