Poignant with just a taste of vanilla.....a sweet heartfelt book of growth and experience.

Butter Cake, p.165, not bad but too dry.

too much cooking for me. too much i got out of work and rushed home and bundled the kids into the car and went to miriam"s. kosher just seems too complicated and too much work for me. it's interesting that it's such an old ritual but is something valuable just because it's old?

A combination of a story about Miriam, the author's mother-in-law, her own gradually increasing level of observance (I empathized), and Miriam's recipes. I enjoyed reading everything, including the recipes, but was not inspired to try them.
