Blue, Blue, My World is Blue

Ok it is not Blue a la Frank Sinatra, but it is Blueberry, pie that is.  Trying this simple online recipe: http://www.pickyourown.org/blueberrypie.php  Of course I am using the crumb toppings as I do on all my pies, so much more interesting.

Tonight we are being joined by 2 of our closest neighbors, regulars Jon & Monica and our lovely Nanci (thanks for picking us up at the airport last week!).  The usual is on the menu tonight; SUSHI, otherwise known as the New Gefilte Fish.  I hope to further explore our obsession with sushi in the orthodox world.  Is it a visceral reaction from years of bland, heavy, overcooked shtetl fare? (Notice I didn't say 'cuisine').  I welcome all gastro-analysts to share their thoughts.

Sunday we return to the pre-yom-tov cook and freeze fest.  So far we have several kugels and soups done.  I am adding potato/zucchini soup to the menu.  We had it this past shabbos in Toronto, it is from their 'Gatherers' cookbook.  The Thornhill community has a very wonderful Teanecky feel to it.

Shabbat Shalom!
