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.

How to Pay a Shiva Call

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).

Thursday Challenge: Urban

buildings in New York City
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,…).
