random wednesday (knit, confessions, smiles, stress, sleep)

Today at work we surprised a coworker with a baby shower. It was a girls only event (though one boy kept showing up because we were just that loud) and the baby now has a wonderful assortment of cute (ducky!!) outfits and two beautiful handmade gifts, a coworker crocheted a ripple waves blanket and matching [...]



travel: caledonian canal (eu adventure 01)

By penny • February 27, 2007 - י' אדר תשס"ז • Category: travel

In this long drawn out and random series I’ll post about our trip from the summer of 2001 when E and I took our post-undergrad adventure. We spent two months meandering around Europe. What I would do for that freedom and warm weather today… The posts in this series will not be in the order [...]

I am in love with baby bok choy these days. I found this baby bok choy with tofu recipe and made it for shabbat. I added some baby corn as E isn’t a big fan of bok choy. It was really good, with just the right amount of spice except for that it sat in [...]



learning + changes: parshat t’rumah

Many thanks to lishhh who caught my use of מ instead of a ם at the end of shalom. I keep my fonts small and wasn’t paying attention. All previous posts should be properly spelled now!
