A prayer for my dear son embarking on his second year at summer camp... May you find learning and growth of all kinds. May you gain independence and feel comfort in your Jewish identity. May the mosquitoes be guided away from you, and may the raindrops not fall into your tent (too much). May the food be delicious and the pool the right temperature. May you seek out new experiences and try new things (vegetables would be nice but I'm doubtful).  Read more >

My cousin had a birthday this week, and so I baked him a carrot cake. The list keeps growing of people who love this cake, who hope or expect (um, husband) a carrot cake for their birthday or sometimes when their favorite team loses the SuperBowl. This past summer I suggested to make this cake for a friend's birthday. She protested, "oh, you don't have to do it." Her 7-year-old son came up behind her and whispered (loudly), "Take the cake, mom!" I delivered it on her birthday! Even kids like this carrot cake.  Read more >
