Lunch time + the flu?

I came down with something this week. Don't know if its the flu, or just a cold. Started with a sore throat and low fever. Now its coughing, headache and still a low fever. Tylenol and Robitusin makes it almost better.

So, I'm home today and I'm hungry (which is a good sign). I had leftover noodles in the fridge, and this recipe caught me eye: Pasta with tuna and capers

I don't have capers, so I just skipped that part, but the rest is simple and easy. Its a nice way to eat pasta for a quick lunch. Total time to eat is probably ten minutes. Nice and simple.

Have a great day,

Elliot

A change of pace (Kidney Failure)

I have been trying to keep this blog focused on hospitality and food. God though has other plans for his creations and I find now that I will have to expand the scope to cover new topics. I'll try to continue blogging about my menus and our guests, but expect more posts that have little or nothing to do with food. In February of this year, My second oldest son, Asaf was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure. Simply put, both his kidneys are damaged and scarred from some infection or defect that happened years ago. They will likely cease to function sometime within the next six months. The good news is that there is no immediate danger to his life. Kidney Dialysis is a viable option and can maintain his health for up to ten or more years if necessary. Unfortunately, the process is not easy and there are potential side effects. Given Asaf's generally excellent health and age, Kidney Dialysis is considered only a stop-gap measure and not a long term solution. The best solutio...

Pesach 5768 (2008) Overview

Pesach is just around the corner and preparations are already underway. Our current guest list includes 7 gentlemen from a post-high school yeshiva program and two young ladies. Our total count stands at 17 for all five meals. My wife and family are already working on cleaning the house. Some of the dry goods purchases have been completed, and now we are looking at the protein purchase (butchers bill) and the fresh produce. To get the process started off on the right foot, we are making menus. In the general way of things, I expect these menus to change over the next 10 days. Yet, I want to keep them online and get your input. Do you think they are too light, too heavy, or just plain not enough for our hungry guests? Let us know! There are five major meals that we need to prepare. Friday Night Dinner Early Shabbat Lunch (which must be eaten before 9:30am and that needs to include bread) Shabbat Lunch (around 1:30pm, that cannot include bread or matzoh) Seder Dinner First Day ...

B"DE Clark Evenchick

B"DE = Baruch Dayan Emet, Blessed is the truthful judge. This is the traditional jewish response to hearing that someone has passed away. My friend Clark Evenchick passed away last night. He suffered for a number of years from ALS. His passing is both a loss and a blessing. We will miss his wit and his powerful presence. On the other hand, ALS is a terrible disease for both the patient and their family. As the body becomes less responsive, the family and caregivers need to spend more and more time providing physical and mental support. Clark's passing frees both himself and his family from this disease. Clark built our house. At one time, he ran a construction company. Clark was not only an honest contractor, but also a joy to work with. At a time when most houses took up to two years from ground breaking to residence, Clark built our house in 7 months. Whenever there was a problem, we were more than comfortable telling him to find his own solution. I believe that...
