Happy New Year 5780!
As part of my annual Jewish New Year’s tradition, I baked Rugelach, a pastry that reminds me of holiday gatherings growing up with immigrant grandparents in New York City. It’s a lot of work, but my extended family here in Los Angeles is grateful. And I get to eat them, too.
Fall Reading List
On Sunday, my book group assembled to discuss the first half of Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison. It’s stunning. What are you reading?

Soak It In
Today in ballet class, someone complimented me on my dancing, and my first thought was to tell her how wrong she was. Luckily, I resisted that impulse and said thank you.

Food Staple
Every Monday is artichoke night at my house. I get them the day before at the Farmer’s Market. They’re jumbo and delicious. Do you have favorite food routines?
