Read me or not, I'm here.
I rest my case regrading Obama. The below quote from a news piece, relating to the video release showing the beheading of American photojournalist James Foley by an Islamic State militant, reflects it all: “Obama was briefed on the video while aboard Air Force One as he jetted from Washington to Martha’s Vineyard to resume his … Read more
I’m visiting Israel. Crazy? Maybe not… I can write about many things I see, but what hit me as so damn obvious here is coexistence. It’s not that I never saw it before, but in the current situation, and when Israel is being bashed by so many nitwits, it became so revealing. What do I … Read more
• I’ll mention again that peace is all I wish for. I want no fighting; I don’t even want to spend time writing about it. It doesn’t mean that I cannot fight, or will not fight if I need to defend myself – ruthlessly if needed – when left with no other choice. So…Imagine a … Read more
I’m calling all peace-seeking residents of Gaza. Know your enemy. It should be obvious. Hamas, as we now clearly know, does NOT want peace. If the majority of the people in Gaza want peace, why don’t they fight Hamas? That is your enemy. Even if people in Gaza are still unarmed by now, with the … Read more
I cooked for a dinner party here a couple of days ago. My sister is vegetarian, but we have a bunch of carnivores, so I decided (among other things) to make two versions of quiche, veggie, and not so veggie. Both came out pretty excellent. Note that I added spices to the dough. It gives it flavor … Read more
I just saw Herzl at a bar. You know, Benjamin Ze’ev Herzl. At first I thought, oh boy, maybe he’s here to drink away his sorrows, with Israel, the modern state he envisioned, forced to fight, defending itself from Hamas’ barrage of missiles, and from ridicules public opinions, blamed for not being careful enough in its … Read more
This is in response to Roger Waters’ “A note from Roger – July 11, 2014“, and to his overall anti-Israel opinion. Really Roger? I’d like to see your reaction if Italians would break into your house and try to butcher your wife Laurie. Or try and shoot your son Jack in his house, or bomb … Read more
We love banana bread. Yesterday I looked at the three “riper than desired” bananas on my kitchen island and though that would be their destination, but wanted to reduce the carbs bomb a bit…. So I replaced the flour with almond meal, a few small tweaks, and it came out so good! You can get … Read more
I asked my daughter what she wants for breakfast. She said “food”. That of course narrowed down the options tremendously. This was the result. Serves 2 4 slices, 1.5″ high, of a big Bell Pepper (3.5″-4″ in diameter). 2-4 pieces of bacon, cut into 1/4″ squares. 4 eggs four tbsp heavy cream two tbsp … Read more
My daughter and I try to cut down on carbs, but yesterday I decided to give us a break. And it came out so good I’m writing it down: Serves 4-6 Ingredients: Half a package of thick bacon (4-5 pieces) cut to 1/2″ squares One very big onion chopped to 1/4″ pieces One small chorizo … Read more
