Don't forget that I'm giving away $10 to DonorsChoose on this post....

Ima on (and off) the Bimah: When I'm a Bubbie...
My Bubbie is almost 95 years old. She doesn't bake any more, but when she did, she had some great recipes, like carrot cake and mandelbrot. The other great thing that she made, possibly the greatest of them all, was her coffee cake. She made a yeast dough...

Ima on (and off) the Bimah: Summer's Not Over Yet!
A good day at the park means that summer isn't quite over yet.
Even though we're thinking about Elul.
Even though school starts on Tuesday.
Even though it's getting darker earlier now.
There's still time for a day at the park.
What sign...

Ima on (and off) the Bimah: When the Cake Falls....
For me, part of any holiday preparation involves getting into the culinary spirit as well. Elul, of course, makes me think of honey cake, apples, and round challah.
So today I tested a new honey cake recipe. (Is it really fair to say it's new if I've n...

Ima on (and off) the Bimah: What I did on my Summer Vacation
We spent four days in Wisconsin Dells last week. I'm embarrassed to tell you that I've never actually spent more than an afternoon there in my whole life - and I grew up in the state of Wisconsin!
It was a great vacation. We hardly ever left our resort...

Ima on (and off) the Bimah: Fruits of our Labors
I really meant to put up pictures of my garden as it has grown...but I didn't.
And things didn't go the way I had hoped. It started out so nicely, lush and beautiful. But I lost about half of my "crops" - my corn and zucchini, my pumpkins - they all tu...

Ima on (and off) the Bimah: Rainbow Pudding Pops
I was inspired by these two posts and thought that these Rainbow Pudding Pops would be a fun activity.
