I enjoy the little smile on this girl’s face as she marched with her baton down Fifth Avenue in the Salute to Israel Parade in New York City in May.
Review with Yellow and Pinks
On My Blog
Millet recipes (I tried the millet cakes – as a pilaf, it was delicious, but it failed to become cakes. Maybe I’ll cheat and add eggs and a binder like matza meal).
Elsewhere in the Blogosphere
- Ilana-Davita reviewed A Year with My Father. We all await the English translation (it’s in French).
- A Mother in Israel wrote about An Alternative to Adler: Parenting Answers from Dr. Gordon Neufeld.
- This broccoli rabe recipe on Simply Recipes looked appealing (if I link to it, will I remember to try it?).
- Are you afraid of Twitter? Try one of these three approaches: Smart, Friendly or Responsive.
- It was D-Day this past week, and I heard very little about it. But Jew Wishes had a commemorative D-Day post.
- Robin is doing the photo meme Summer Stock Sunday again this summer.
Thursday Challenge: Urban
New York City is a great place for viewing contrasting architecture: here’s modern, paned glass with nineteenth century brick and mansard roofs. This is somewhere near 6th or 7th Avenues, in the forties or high thirties.
Thursday’s Challenge is “URBAN” (Buildings, Traffic, Graffiti, Signs, People,…). Next week’s challenge is METALLIC (Metal, Shiny, Mirror, Clothes, Cars, Jewelry,…).
