And they both love cookbooks. So they convened to have a conversation about recent-ish Jewish cookbooks—and ultimately, what it means for a cookbook to make a claim about its very Jewishness.

On Tuesday we had walked over 17,000 steps according to my IPhone and I knew that Wednesday was going to be close to that number since we were doing both Versailles and The Louvre. The hotel ordered us a taxi and off to Versailles we went and that might have been the highlight of the trip for me. The Arc de Triomphe is located just north of the Eiffel Tower inside of a roundabout.

Supermarket chains can keep low-income communities from easy access to food, with a dastardly (but legal) provision they write into lease agreements. Last fall, first-year law student Karissa Kang arrived at Yale University and quickly set out to find a supermarket within walking distance. “I like cooking,” she explained, and she didn’t have a car. Her hometown of Atlanta was loaded with shopping options like Publix and Kroger so she was surprised to discover that the only full-service grocery c

My son and spent two days in Budapest. The Danube river splits the city in two. On the west side is Buda which fairly hilly with lots of castles and churches. On the east side is Pest which is flat but has more area and contains the airport, train station, and the sports stadiums. We spent our full day in Budapest taking a river tour on the Danube. We got off on an island which is about mile and half long that is a city park and walked it.

As most know I am in Europe with youngest son. I flew out last Friday to Denver and spent the day with my number two son playing golf and just hanging out. On Saturday I drove up to the Denver airport to fly non-stop to Frankfurt on United. I was a little bummed out that it was a Dreamliner 787 instead of a 777 since business class is in a 2 2 2 arrangement on the seats instead of the 1 2 1 on the updated Polaris class.
