Thanks Deb! Reminded me of so many things in my adolescence. I had a lot of Jewish friends, and one of the funniest memories was sitting around Lisa's kitchen table, gossiping and eating an entire jar of gefilte fish (there were three of us, me, Lisa and another girl, Julie.) We didn't even realize it until it was gone :-D
Enjoyed this. I remember you and my dad debating over politics and admiring your chutzpah for a teen. About a decade later, I remember my dad flipping to join you in your perspective.
I remember that your house in Glenridge was beautiful, and thinking what a great sense of color you have. Also--I remember having the most delicious meals ever at your hosue because you and Warren are such great cooks. I think you once made bouillabaisse. Do I remember correctly? I couldn't believe anyone could make such a complicated recipe and have it turned out like the best thing I ever tasted.
I remember you chose a beautiful shade of rich saturated blue for your countertops in your kitchen. I was awestruck.
I enjoyed every line, and have similar memories of the era.

We did not, however, eat the borscht.
This list is making me so nostalgic!
Lovely,and relatable

Aww. Glad to see you taking up the prompt, but also applying that memory to me
