Christmas day for a Jew is as fun for a non-Jew. First – we all have the day off so we typically spend the day with family and friends. Second – we make a big breakfast/brunch. This year I made Apricot Stuffed French Toast and served it with orange juice. It […]
Holidays
Thanksgiving {2012}
It seems like my body is starting a trend. Anytime a holiday or an important occasion is around the corner, I get sick! This is the same as what happened around the holidays a couple of months ago. A runny nose or even some sneezing would be workable, but noooo, […]
