Old Friends

Posted on August 11, 2021 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 15 Comments

Old friends Old friends Sat on their park bench Like bookends… When I think of that Paul Simon song written in 1968, the year I graduated college, I didn’t think he was talking about ME! I wasn’t old then and never thought I would be. Now, I’m proud to say I have made it to … Continue reading →

Matzo Balls!

Posted on May 5, 2021 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 2 Comments

I’m known for my matzo ball soup. I learned the technique over many years, peeking over the shoulders of two generations of matzo ball makers before me. Grandma Gussie’s were small and hard resembling golf balls. My mother adopted the Manischewitz Matzo Ball Mix which made into light fluffy dumplings. Aunt Esther’s always came out … Continue reading →

Sold!

Five hundred dollars! Cash. Yay. And just in time for Christmas. Oh, but wait. I’m home alone — all dressed up and… (Ah, well, there’s always my little secret stash box where I can squirrel it away and lay in wait for the floodgates to open when we can get back to full-on retail therapy.) … Continue reading →

Menorahs on Parade

Posted on December 18, 2020 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 6 Comments

Donna, my wise-cracking Jewish friend from Queens and I pulled into the parking lot of the Santa Cruz Veterans Hall to meet our group for the first annual Menorah Parade. There was a guy with a long fuzzy beard standing in front of the building. I rolled down the passenger window of Donna’s shiny red … Continue reading →

What Happened to the Hubbard?

Posted on December 14, 2020 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 1 Comment

People wanna know! I just left you hanging and now Christmas is coming. Who cares about a big ole blue squash at this point? Well, a good number of you do. My long-time friend, Victoria, asked me about it just this morning. We don’t talk often but when we do it’s as if we’re picking … Continue reading →

Hubba Hubbard!

Posted on November 20, 2020 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 11 Comments

I found the Hubbard! The last time was in 2016 and I look every year. I happened to be walking by the vegetable stand near my home when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw it —larger than life, larger than the turkey I plan to cook. I hauled it home and stared at … Continue reading →

Essential Ingredient

Posted on October 26, 2020 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 16 Comments

If it’s October, it’s time to make plum pudding. I learned how to make this traditional English Christmas treat in a cooking class in 1977 and I have made it every year since. If I do the math correctly, this is my forty-third year. I can still hear the voice of the cooking instructor, a … Continue reading →

The Serena In Us

Posted on July 11, 2016 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 2 Comments

Originally posted on Teri Carter's Library:
Serena Williams is arguably—though I can’t conjure any reasonable argument—the greatest female tennis player of all time, both fiercely respected and roundly feared on the court. And yet with the start of each tournament, especially the majors, the unrelenting commentary on Serena begins. At this summer’s Wimbledon, the…
