Multi-colored Markers
It’s fun to photograph magic markers. There is even a red one in there, so I can use this for Ruby Tuesday.

Vegetarian Chopped Liver
Thanks to this post that includes vegetarian chopped liver on Cooking Manager, I was inspired to once again try making a mock chopped liver. I think this one is a winner, folks!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of walnuts
- 2 zucchini, sliced lengthwise
- 1 onion, quartered
- 3 tsp. olive oil (experiment with amounts of oil – add a little at a time – you may need less)
- Sea salt to taste
- 2 hard boiled eggs
Bake the zucchinis and the onion in a stoneware dish in the oven for about 1 hour. You can do this the day before, or anytime you are baking other items in the oven. Take the baked vegetables out of the oven to cool. Chop the walnuts in the food processor. Add all the other ingredients except the hard-boiled eggs. You can see what this dish would be like without the eggs, in case you would prefer to have an eggless version of vegetarian chopped liver. I found it too watery, but when I added the hard-boiled eggs, oh, my, it obtained the creaminess of chopped liver. Also, the next day in the refrigerator it turns browner, so it looks more like chopped liver, too.
Alternative: use grilled zucchini and onions (I don’t have a pareve grill)
Have you made mock chopped liver? Any suggestions?

Nature Notes Travels the World
And in New Jersey we have: snow! What a surprise (not). I decided to travel around the world via blogs and see what the weather is like elsewhere.
 In Australia, on Gemma’s blog – flooding |
 In Canada, EG Wow – snowy creek |
 In France, Ilana-Davita – cold, snowy park |
 In Israel, Batya – blue skies |

Railroad Tracks – SOOC
I took several shots of these Teaneck railroad tracks while waiting for my middle son, who had spent the morning visiting the high school he will attend next year. My older son just told me trains really do travel on those tracks. Oh.
