Getting Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis
Posted on June 20, 2012
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2006. At that time I knew nothing about MS and thought I was going to die very soon as I imagined the disease was terminal. My children, now in their teens, were in 1st and 2nd grade; I would lie in bed with them at night thinking that

Hanukkah oh Hanukkah come light the menorah! Let’s have a party we’ll all dance the horah! Hanukkah is the festival of lights.

Whose Recipes are they Anyway?
Posted on March 26, 2010
Did you know that recipes are not copyrightable? It is very challenging to copyright a recipe. That said, I have found that 99.99% of food bloggers and others in the industry give credit where it is due. On that note, I especially enjoy Lillian’s interpretation of my recipes via video on her site Lillian’s Test

Surprise! What’s in the Mail Today?
Posted on November 17, 2009
I receive quite a few emails each day. In fact, one of my biggest internal debates is how to read everything (I’ve given up on responding) and still maintain life outside computerland. You see, I don’t think computers are necessarily the best thing for my health. And yet. They are so much fun. And so
