Pick a Key – Poll of Keywords

I have a poll on my Websites for Small Biz blog – won’t head on over and pick a key? Thanks!

One Hundred Equals Twenty

It seems I started to blog about 100 20 and 7 back in 2008, but I never completed the post. Can anyone explain in the comments how 100 equals 20?

Thanks!

Small Biz Interview With Freakin’ Flamingo

On Websites for Small Biz I posted an interview with Renée Joslyn of Freakin’ Flamingo and Flamingo Musings. Hope you will visit the interview:

Interview with Freakin’ Flamingo

Comments on the post are most welcome. If you scroll to the bottom of the interview, you will find links to her challah and brisket recipes. Yum. And hummus pizza, too.

Miriyummy and KCC

Thank you to Miriyummy for interviewing me on her blog.

And Cooking Outside the Box has presented her first Kosher Cooking Carnival.

Jazz Girl Asks You

Jazz girl (namely my daughter) wants you to help with this post. As I wanted to write a post but I wasn’t sure what to say, I decided to ask questions. Pick any or all and answer in the comments.

1. Are you reading or have you read any good books? Care to share?
   I’m reading The River Midnight by Lilian Nattel; I found it buried in a stack of books at the Highland Park Public Library book sale on Sunday. It’s a novel about women in a shtetl in Poland: one in particular who has not been able to have children and her friend and neighbor who has many, more than she can handle.
2. When you think of a photo from any blog other than your own, which photo first comes to mind?
   I had in mind one post of an old house by EG Wow, but somehow I landed on this house by Lake Ontario.
3. Can you name any recipe from a blog other than your own that influenced your cooking or baking?
   It would have to be Batya’s cake recipe (from 2005!) – she no longer talks about cake. Last year she talked a lot about diets, and this year she has been posting about simple cooking.
4. If you are a lurker (someone who reads this blog but rarely or never comments), will you delurk and say hello?

By the way, my daughter danced with a different teacher tonight, and it went well. So we probably have a new dance studio for her for September. And if you haven’t yet visited my free postcard giveaway post, you still have a few days left to join just by leaving a comment on that post.

Sad News in the Blogosphere

I learned through Twitter that the husband of Trip’n Mommy, sometimes known as Trip’n Daddy, has died after his battle with lymphoma. His name in real life is Barry Shuter. Sometimes, if you read enough of someone’s tweets, you feel like you know them. Trip’n Mommy has a blog called Trip’n Up, named after her triplets.

May his wife and children be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

Update: Ruti Mizrachi wrote a post Barry, we hardly knew ye.

JPiX by Ilana-Davita

Update: Batya has volunteered to do a JPiX in early August. Thank you, Batya!
