Rosh Hashanah Menu

(in preliminary form)

Please don’t peek… yes, this is basically the same meal plan I made last year AND the year before. I just open up the word document, shuffle the meals around so it fits the format of the current year’s Yom Tov (in this case, adding a day for Shabbos), and DONE. The actual cooking is the tough part, but choosing what to eat has gotten so much easier since I kept track.

Looking back, I think I accidentally overwrote last year’s meal plan with a sad realization about my father. But you can see that two years ago was basically the exact same foodstuffs, maybe in a slightly different order.

Two years ago in September is when my father started getting really sick (in my head: “going downhill” but I translate it to nice-people-speak for my readers’ sake).

It is just awful not even thinking about him anymore. And – shameful secret – sometimes being with just my mother feels so tiresome without that buffer. Just as she buffered for him so he and I never actually had to talk about his illness, he listened to her, all day every day, so we didn’t have to.

What a lousy daughter.

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box:   I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
