Passing the torch: a poem

Dear Joe, you’ve got a choice to make
It’s not easy; there’s no magic.
Be a hero for your wisdom
Or become a figure tragic.

You say you need to keep the job
To finish what you started.
But the job has been ongoing
Since from England we were parted.

We’re a project that’s in progress;
We’ve final victory never caught.
And for every generation
There are battles to be fought.

To make progress with the project
Can’t depend on just one man.

Stella's mandel bread - Jen Hewett

By Jen / Thursday, January 21, 2010 / miscellaneousI had a rough day yesterday and all I could think on the bus ride home was, “The only remedy for today is mandel bread.”Now, this may sound strange coming from someone who is black and Filipina. Mandel bread (or mandelbrot) is a traditional, Ashkenazi Jewish cookie made with almonds (mandel), oil, sugar and eggs. Twice baked and not too sweet, it’s very similar to Italian biscotti. But my mom (who, incidentally, makes a delicious matzo ball soup) got the recipe from Sister Philippa... Читать дальше...
