I loved reading this so much- tears of laughter glistening in my eyes… the food advice( love the chips and crackers in the fridge and just did it!) love the poetry… even tempted to do the pork thing…
Hello from New York City. Your writing always makes me smile, I read once a week without missing a piece. You’re an inspiration to a life well lived brother!

My husband is currently slow cooking a slab of pork at the request of one of our kids (today is their bday). The child has been dreaming of pulled pork. Yummy is one of the best things…

Love that. Hope the chips stay crisp and the laughter flows from everywhere.
Thank you for this joyous morning, song and dance about you and your kitchen. It really cheered me up:)
Good. Be cheery matron of the orchard and vibrant terpsichorean.

I dig that. So glad we meet on the regular.
You always seem most a peace with the world when you’re buying, preparing or eating food.
Yes. I feel engaged and informed and in process--and my identity isn't on the line.

No winning. I love that you're raising a child inclined toward the porcine arts.
As they say in the Jo'berg (and Cape) schtiebels: 'food is love. Freely given. Whether you think you need it or not. (You always do.)
I think my mother was an honorary Jew, and I definitely married one (as I later found out.)
What's not to like about a well-prepared slab of kosher pork?
Jo'berg filled with wild Yids! Slab is a great word, ain't it brother.
Food Rabbi Swerdlow, are you sure “shtiebel” shouldn’t be spelled with a nice Yiddish “c”? SChtiebel”?
Let me check the Talmud, my child of the self imposed diaspora (we all can use a good diaspora)
Swerdey’s Cook Book
Looking forward to all the wordsmith recipes
There will be more I am sure DD.
