Keep Your Eye on Tal Peleg

Israel, the start-up nation,
famous for its innovations
in medicine, agriculture and tech
now envisions a canvas above the neck

Inspired by Disney’s “Frozen.”

Tal Peleg, a young sabra*, dreams
Of magical eyes with whimsical scenes
Her painted windows to the soul
Inspire those near & far to extol

Inspired by moms. Happy Mother's Day! And neshikot (kisses) to mine. ♥

A makeup lover, I must admit
I marvel at the skills in her toolkit!
Creative, imaginative, a new way to see
She brings kavod* to Israel, all will agree

A poetic interpretation of Anne Frank. Never Again.

Miniature masterpieces
Now take a chic peek
And keep your eyes open
She’s on a beauty streak

Bringing Israel Home: Dorot Makes Healthy Easy & Yum

On a recent trip to my local Glatt Mart­—post-workout, fetchingly bedraggled—I ran into my friends (of course) who were also grocery shopping at 9pm for some reason.

During our mid-aisle schmooze, we checked out each other’s carts and shared our respective food staples.

My cart looked pretty LA that day, I have to admit, and it’s true that I aim for healthy and do a fair amount of cooking. But to keep things from getting boring, I spice up the ordinary with sauces. “Oh, have you tried these?” Daniella asked, walking into the frozen food section.

Dorot_JoyishOf course I had heard of Dorot frozen herbs, but sauces?

The abridged version: I tried them, I love them, I’m telling you about them. Gluten free, sugar free, raw, yes!  Plus, the way they’re packaged you can use some without the rest spoiling in your fridge. And most satisfyingly, they’re produced in Israel—at Kibbutz Dorot near Sderot, to be specific—so when you buy them you support the family and the land.

I’ve tried two flavors—so far, so delicious. I recommend. To your health!
