Must Be Moving In or Out?
No truck at the curb.
Can’t be garbage. No person in sight. Still caught my eye, even if it wasn’t truly abandoned.

Gato de Muez de Pesah Walnut and Orange Passover Cake
I am at my sister’s in NYC and sifting through old recipes and photos. This is from 2011.
When I googled this recipe title, from the one she wrote down on a piece of composition paper, I discovered that it is from The Book of Jewish Food: An Odyssey from Samarkand to New York by Claudia Roden who says it is the Passover Cake of Istanbul and it is imperative to use walnuts that are not stale! You can see the actual recipe in the link above, if you have trouble viewing the handwritten version
Here is a link to a Youtube Video with
Claudia Roden an Interview on Jewish Food from the British Library
The photo of the recipe cuts off the word STIFF but that is how you need to beat those egg whites.

My sister waited outside the Yarn shop while I popped inside. We were walking back from the parking garage by the River.
Mary had spotted the handsome dog above the entrance.
I bought a couple of skeins of Tuscan Gold DK weight yarn -50% silk 50% Merino wool by Rosie’s Colors in Brooklyn.

Our Grandmother Made This
My sister sent me this photo of the doily our paternal grandmother made. It sits on a chair at my sister’s home. Years ago, I’d stitched it onto the solid fabric pillow.
It’s a good way to display an old fashioned hand crocheted doily. The shape suggests it was to protect the chair back where your head would rest.
Certainly we’ve spent a lot of time at home this past year.
