Blog salad

 I spent one night this week with my cousin in Brooklyn. My cousin lives on a high floor. usually her view is this.

It was incredibly foggy out so instead  we got this.

There were moments whebn there was even less visibility.

Now that the wedding tallit is completed, I am back to working on Nini's  Nova Scotia tallit.

 This time I just chalked out the outlines of the letters and embroidered along that line. I have mostly finished adding to bulk up the letters.

There is another half verse that will be sitting on the tree-line.

Tonight we have been invited to a dear friend's  for Shabbat dinner. 

I made bulgher wheat with walnuts and pomegranate molasses. I was inspired by a conversation my son had  with me about eating Georgian, that is Russian Georgian as opposed to American Georgian), food. They are deeply fond of the combination of walnuts and pomegrqnate.  I am not deepy fond of walnuts but the combination is pretty fabulous.

I also made a batch of 

coconut and lime sorbet dotted with chopped dried cranberries. I think that the flavor could use a bit more oomph but my sons, who are my flavor consultants, weren't home to suggest this or that spice or sweetner. So I will bring a sorbet that will be good but not fabulous.

Like everyone else, feeling anxious  this Friday.

Hoping that all of our prayers do a bit of good.

Shabbat Shalom!
