Shavuot is one of my favorite Jewish holidays. Shavuot commemorates the anniversary of the day the Torah (10 commandments) was given to the entire nation of Israel assembled at Mount Sinai. Now, that’s all nice and dandy but what I really like about the holiday is the food – obviously. You see, this holiday is […]
Last week I ended up with 25lbs of tomatoes on my hands. They were leftovers from an event and I just couldn’t say no. I mean, big, red, fresh, sweet tomatoes. Yes, 25lbs may seem a bit too much for a family of four but I figured I either try to cook with them or […]
