The Art of the Hard Boiled Egg

Why is it that no one can agree on the proper boiling of an egg? I know. You think I’m kidding. You think I’m grasping for a topic to write about, don’t you? Well, maybe Guilty on Count 2, but I’m really not kidding. Too many people think you can just plop an egg into [...]

@wokstar’s stirring it up!

Okay, this is pretty funny. I must have posted this photo here, instead of my Twitter feed, but that’s okay. I’ll just tell you about it. This is Eleanor Hoh. Eleanor is known on blog and Twitter and around town as the WokStar. For very good reason, I might add. She’s one of the Miami [...]

Happy New Year!

As you may or may not know, tomorrow night marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana. It’s one of those two-day holidays out here, in the Diaspora (anywhere not Israel).

Sambars & Curries

Well, that was fun! We had Miz Shoes and the RLA over this evening to playtest a game MJ and I (in one of our rare joint efforts) are working on as a belated wedding gift for a couple who – in truth, we really don’t know that well. Why are we doing it? The [...]
