This site is really attractive, has a great interface, and, most importantly, has lots of delicious recipes. Remember when my oven was out of commission?

As I was walking to the library this morning, I was contemplating what to make for lunch, specifically wondering what kind of protein I could mix into my salad. It occurred to me that I had a bunch of crab-flavored surimi left over from the sushi I made this Shabbos. Score! I also had a … Continue reading »
