This months Kosher Connection Link-Up was a big challenge for me! We were asked to make cold soups and that is one thing I never ever make. My husband loves gazpacho but it is certainly a rare treat for him since I’m the bad wife that never makes him one of his favorite treats. Okay, […]
Durian Brown Sugar Buns
Boy, do I have a story for you. In August 2010, my husband was in China Town in Queens and he picked up a very special present for me. We love to watch Andrew Zimmern on the Travel Channel as he tries the most unique foods around the world and one of his least favorite […]
