I’m still here. It’s just that I’ve mostly been super-active over on Substack where I tend to publish most of my writing these days. I’m thinking of mostly updating this page on a monthly basis with a few links to my latest posts. Like this Easter greeting to people who are celebrating today. I’m also taking a break from my podcast, sort of rethinking what I should do with it. There’s a lot I’m dealing with right now, things I’m not quite getting into just yet. Anyway, here are a few more posts I’d like to link to from Substack that you might be interested in!

Christmas is coming up on Monday. As a household that celebrates both Chanukah (which was earlier this month) and Christmas, we have tons of traditions. And we also try to keep stress levels to a minimum. Our tree went up the first Saturday of December and for eight days, we had both the tree and our electric menorah in the living room. We also made two batches of holiday cookies, with the first being menorahs and gingerbread people and the second, candy canes, Christmas trees and MORE gingerbread people. The cookies are made with oats and sweetened with applesauce. We DO eat added sugar – those cookies come from stores (LOL)…

Maybe I’ll stick with things that I find difficult to elaborate on my podcast (more on diversity, perhaps? Or is it better FOR the podcast? I’m always afraid of saying something wrong, and then the world cancelling me before I COULD be cancelled), especially now that what I record is mostly improvised – I used to read off a script, which really didn’t seem too natural. And I ended up doing too many takes. I’ve found that going in with an idea, and then just ranting on about it just works…better. Maybe even on how I’d love to expand my listenership. I mean, I am part of social media groups dedicated to various topics, including other podcasts I listen to as well as interests. But it’s also not good group etiquette to self-promote, so what’s a gal to do? If anyone has ideas of where and how to promote, that would be great.

]]>And in case you’re wondering about the Christmas Day French Toast recipe, here’s the sweet version*:
What you need:
- Two large whole eggs
- Two large egg whites
- 3/4 cups of skim or 1% milk
- 1/2 tablespoons of vanilla extract
- Six to eight slices of coconut bread (depending on the size)
- 1/2 cup each of raspberries and blueberries* (frozen okay)
Directions
- Mix the eggs, vanilla and milk in a bowl
- Soak the slices of bread and place them in a lightly greased baking dish
- Top the bread with the berries, if youβre using them
- Bake for 25 minutes at 375 F and then switch to broil for five minutes
This recipe should feed two to four people. There is no need to add sugar as the bread is already sweet itself.
*originally posted on my old site, DelectablyChic!
The savoury version uses the same custard mix minus vanilla (sub with garlic powder and a few grinds of black pepper) and is topped with bocconcini and tomatoes. You can add some basil after it’s out of the oven.
