Warning: This post is filled with lots of personal info. If you want food photos and recipes they’re here, but you’ll have to gloss over a lot of personal history as well. I thought I’d use this venue to get a serious message out about how our health coverage system is failing [...]

Really
You’ll be spending a night at the museum with me tonight. Well, mostly in Mitsitam, the café. Last night I mentioned that I made a trip into DC with my son (Tim) and his girlfriend (Abby) for the day on Saturday. We had no real plan, but since Abby had never been [...]

Arrival Feast
Tim and Abby arrived Friday evening while I was doing my thing at work. But never fear, I’d planned for dinner in advance and it was all waiting when they arrived. I thought they might be really hungry after a day of travel, but a snack was all they needed to tide [...]

Step Right In
I slipped out of town for 2 nights and it feels like it was much longer — which is a good thing. How much would it suck if you flew out of town for a mini vacation and it felt like you never left? I’m going to take you on a [...]

Knock Knock
It’s time to get on with the first Peek into a Justopia Cooks reader’s kitchen now that we’ve taken a look around mine.
As you know, I traveled to New Jersey recently to visit with my sister and to get out of town for a few days. I’m not really sure how I left. [...]

Possessed?
I think I’m possessed — by a movie. Yep, a movie. Years ago, um …. maybe 20 years ago … I saw a great movie. It was one of those movies that leaves you smiling as you walk out of the theater. The movie is Shirley Valentine. It’s a movie [...]

Or just über busy
I know. I don’t want to sound like those bloggers that are always apologizing for long spans of time between posts, so I won’t. I’m in Jersey visiting my sister and her family for Passover. But as you see here, Tuesday night was all about dying eggs. No. [...]

I’ve Tried Ham Hocks for Crying Out Loud!
Ok, I get it. To most people Matzo is a mystery. If you believe the stats on sites that come up at the top of the list on Google, there are only 14 million Jews in the world, which makes up 0.2% of the world’s population. [...]

Egg Salad and More
It’s so much easier to make lunch at home then to determine which restaurant to run into for a quick — 30 minute — lunch. And we don’t need to talk about the cost, do we? Egg salad is easy to make and having that delicious mango salad that [...]

The Move Continues
