So jealous! I live down the street from Lulu and wish I knew about the event. Instead, I made sure to get to Joan's panel at Festival of Books and got a signed copy of her latest book.

Fascinating, as usual! Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Happy birthday too. 🎂

As a person who loves words, I was interested to learn that schmaltz means chicken fat. I guess most readers would know that, but not me.

Garosa (Haroset) from Curaçao, this sounds amazing and something I would love to give a go! Thank you so much Ruth for another great post AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU! :)

I thought of you Friday evening as I listened to Ari Shapiro interview Joan Nathan on NPR as he sampled her chicken matza ball soup. Your evening sounds fun and that menu is mouthwatering. Your garosa look and sound delicious.
