Right now, the sky seems so grey. I wonder what today will bring. It's my "long day" at work. I have to plan the lessons and check some quizzes before I go. Last night we were at a wedding. I'll have to blog about it, especially the food.

So, taking all that into account. It's best to just enjoy what you have and not to go to any extreme trying to "improve" your skin. A smile is the best and safest and cheapest method to look young and attractive.
Which of the two people is the "underdog?"

The same basic technique, to reduce calories, just use malowach on top, can be used with batzek elim, the puff pastry dough used for bourekas. It's available in any freezer section here in Israel.
Now, for my second cooking invention.
I found lots of cooked food in the freezer. This is a marriage between a meatloaf and a potato kugel. First I made a simple tomato sauce in the frying pan. That's done by:
Then when the sauce was boiling, I added slices of the meatloaf and kugel, covered and cooked. We ate it Friday night.
The next one is a bit early, because of Pesach. So please send all your kosher food posts and anything you see on the net, to Mother In Israel via the carnival submission form.
Or is the question do I want to be any sort of star?
Articles like this one from the New York Times make it all seem so simple.
Just like not everyone who goes filled with dreams and ambitions to Hollywood will be a movie star.
As a blogger, it is easy to get one's 10 minutes of fame. Not on the level of a Tom Cruise or Joan Collins, must pick someone younger, Paris Hilton.
Many of us find a post or two suddenly getting hundreds or thousands of hits, and then...
It's like being the wallflower of the cyberdance floor.
I'm sure I'm not the only blogger who would love to be a paid writer, but the hustle is harder than blogging, even on three blogs. Of course, at times I think of myself as rather schizophrenic with a variety of voices.
But I do wish to thank the friend who sent me the link.
It's a "short fast" today. Just from the first light of dawn until darkness.
Last night I turned off my alarm and decided to "sleep late." Usually I'm up very early 5-5:30am. I drink a lot of water and then a lot of yummy coffee, and then "eliminate." And yes, while doing that, I'm on the computer. Only after all that do I shower, get dressed, doven (say morning prayers) and start my day.
Today I felt myself waking up, but didn't have to move, since the alarm was off. I fell back to sleep and finally got up just before 8, which is when I'm usually going off the computer and doing stage 2 of my morning. So I started with stage 2.
I'll start cooking soon. Must get ready for Purim.
I used to make homemade pizza and vegetable soup for breaking the fast, but now I just make the soup. I'll make enough for the the Purim feasts and Mishloach Manot. I also have some mushy bananas just aching to be made into a cake.
Isn't it terrible that I have to spend a fast day involved with food?
Since KCC is ongoing, please routinely send in your links.
Please submit your posts and any others you deem suitable for KCC via blog carnival.
Because of the cooked food, which I cooked last month, before I knew that all the kids would be coming the Shabbat my baby was here, we'll have plenty to eat next week. I only do the "heavy" cooking once a week, when I prepare for Shabbat. There are just two of us in this empty nest, and it is a waste of time to cook daily. Washing the dishes every day is the only daily kitchen chore necessary.
So, please, if you haven't already, do your inventory and use things up.
Remember, too, that the Kosher Cooking Carnival will be at Little Frumhouse on the Prairie next week, so send in links to any suitable posts.
"So make me a hat."So yesterday, besides the cassette and DVD, I brought a large selection of "yarns" for her to choose between. She had already told me to make a black base. I brought in one of my hats to get an idea of size.
"Are you serious?"
"Sure."
