This year I said I would not take a lot of pictures. I would not, I would not, I would not. I came home and emptied a mere 126 images unto my external hard drive. This post features schools from New Jersey that marched in the Salute to Israel Parade down 5th Avenue in New York City in May 2010.
Next year my daughter will be old enough to march with her school. Her school, RPRY in Edison, always features dancers as a highlight.
It’s a lot of fun when you know the person holding the banner, and he enthusiastically smiles at you. This is my eldest son’s school, Torah Academy of Bergen County.
We recognized several of the students of Kushner Hebrew Academy and Kushner Yeshiva High School of Livingston, New Jersey.
Yavneh Academy had a sunny theme.
I liked the bright kites. Related to the sunny theme.
Here is Solomon Schecter Day School of Raritan Valley.
JEC of Elizabeth, New Jersey had a lively, colorful banner.
I captured the banner for the Frisch School of Paramus, New Jersey just as we were leaving the parade. We didn’t stay for the whole time – as it is, we didn’t get back home until 5 pm.
No idea what organization held this banner that reads “Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.”
This lime green chair at Rutgers Gardens is *really* big. It has a twin facing it, too. I saw some “tiny” people sitting in the chair but didn’t get a photo of them. These sculptures must be fairly new – I don’t remember them from previous years.
For more shots straight out of the camera:
Yesterday we (my daughter, my eldest son, a group of volunteers, and I) picked garlic mustard weed at the Native Plant Reserve in Highland Park, New Jersey. Since our mustard weed demonstrator had red in his shirt, I can use this photo as a Ruby Tuesday post. More on yesterday’s invasive weed picking.
I will be very busy tomorrow preparing for Shavuot, a Jewish holiday in which one traditionally brings flowers into one’s home. I won’t be picking buttercups, though, but I wanted to share these pretty yellow buttercups from the Native Plant Reserve with you.

Welcome to the #54th edition of Kosher Cooking Carnival, the blog carnival of kashrut in Jewish law, reviews of kosher restaurants and cookbooks, Shabbat and holiday menus, and kosher recipes.
Upcoming is the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, and it is customary on this holiday to eat dairy. However, there are those that insist on eating meat with every holiday meal, and so they have a bit of dairy first and then meat. There are others who insist on never, ever, ever having any animal products, and so they eat vegan food as usual. Finally, there are those like myself who are lactose-intolerant or allergic to dairy, so we avoid it, too. Thus the name of this KCC edition.
Perfect for Shavuot
First, our newest Kosher cooking blogger, BookishIma, presents Olive Cheese Pie with Spelt Crust. Wow, does that sound good.
Mrs. S. teaches a Shavuot classic: Milchig Lukshen Kugel (translation= dairy noodle casserole).
Cooking Manager (don’t you love the header on that blog?) suggests a Greek Salad with Feta Cheese and Olives, recipe by Michelle, for Shavuot.
For those of us who want pareve dishes to serve with either meat or dairy, try Japanese Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce.
Batya talks about how Shavuot used to equal cheesecake, but some her neighbors grill meat for the holiday.
Ilana-Davita describes an Algerian custom of eating fromage blanc, a date and matzah ashira on Shavuot.
Every Day Meals
This could dress up a simple steamed vegetable: Sweet and Tangy Dressing, by Ilana-Davita.
Batya gives recipes that are more than mashed potatoes.
You can learn more about your food processor by reading Cooking Manager’s interview with cookbook author Norene Gilletz.
L’Kvod Shabbat – In honor of the Sabbath
David Tzohar shows how to prepare Shabbos Gedempte Hin (boiled shabbat meal).
GetReadyDad has a recipe for Artichoke Beef Sliders.
If you want a Mediterranean style chicken, here’s one by Gloria Kobrin with currants, pine nuts and olives.
Cooking Manager says Chickpea Casserole with Rice and Tomatoes could be for Shabbat or an every day meal.
Instead of chulent, try Westbankmama’s Quinoa Salad.
You may want to make these peanut butter balls by G6 for dessert.
Baking Ideas
Ilana-Davita teaches cottage cheese bread: One Basic Recipe, Two Different Loaves.
Devo bakes these cheese-filled spinach rolls. Serve them right out of the oven for the best “gooi-ness.”
Restaurant News
Batya recommends the Club Sandwich at HaGov in Jerusalem.
Kashrut Issues
A Mother in Israel found a worm in her avocado.
Dairy, Pareve and Meat
Or at least Pareve to Dairy: Ricky’s mom tells of the non-ending supply of milky spatulas.
