The recipe for this dish of cabbage with carrots, ginger, orange, miso is here as Winter Slaw and here as Fresh Tekka. It is adapted from a macrobiotic recipe, and if I have the time, I make it once a week.
Want a piece of apple pie? Use this pie crust, take four granny smith apples, peel ’em, slice ’em and toss sugar and cinnamon all over them. Put the apples in the pre-baked crust, cover with additional crust dough (throw some oatmeal in the top crust), and bake for about 50-60 minutes in a 350° oven.
Want more recipes? I will be hosting the Kosher Cooking Carnival on May 16, so be sure to visit on that day. If you are a blogging cook or a cooking blogger and have a kosher recipe to share, please submit the post. Kosher Cooking Carnival is a blog carnival about kosher food, halachot (laws), customs, reviews of restaurants and cookbooks. If you want to host a KCC or for more information, visit Batya.
This originally was going to be a post with a photo of the red afghan that my grandmother crocheted many years ago. However, my daughter showed up and posed with her book in front of the afghan. Of course, the photo with her in front of the afghan reading The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald is far more interesting than the others with only the blanket.

A friend sent a link to this article about a sex abuser in New York. If you read the story, you will note the abuser had himself been abused as a child: Rabbi Sentenced 32 Years For Sexually Abusing Teen – “In a surprise courtroom revelation, the judge read portions of Lebovits’ probation report, where the rabbi confided to authorities that he himself was a victim of sexual abuse, when he was a boy. Lebovits said he was victimized the first time by an uncle in London, when he was just 11-years-old. He said a teenager abused him again, a year later, when he was 12.”

Last night my husband and I attended our first college application planning meeting along with a roomful of other parents at my son’s school. College? Wasn’t he just born yesterday?
I took many photos of flowers late last week (azaleas, magnolias, tulips, cherry blossoms), and only this one was close to a Ruby. It’s an English Daisy plant that I bought at a small florist in North Brunswick, New Jersey when my boys were having orthodontic visits.
