Happy fifth day of Hanukkah! I would have liked to have had this recipe ready on the first day of Hanukkah, but sadly a stream of holiday parties and work got in the way. As I am now home in sunny San Diego for the holidays, I can finally relax and write. One of the [...]
Do you ever have trouble deciding what to eat? I constantly have this problem. I'll stare at a menu, or in my cupboard, or in my fridge and imagine three or four possible and equally enticing meals. Never ever take me out for a meal, because I will most-likely over order and probably munch [...]
