Yom Kippur confessions

I'm a bad Jew...
I say that not really knowing what a good Jew is but I'm guessing that I don't qualify.
I never go to synagogue...
I know very little about the religion even after years of Hebrew school...
I waver on the subject of god -who, what, where and even if...
What I am pretty good at, and may very  well redeem me in the eyes of the chosen people, is my love for family, fun and food and isn't that what life is all about?
Some may say that THAT is a religion on to itself so, on this day of atonement let's forgive and forget and believe in the religion of self and be the best self you can be!

Mother-Son Tradition!

Ever since Jacob was 5, he and I have been going to the Nutcracker and, although this year/last night he claimed that he's "kinda over it" I love that I get to share my love of the ballet with him.  Over shmover!

Still one of my

Philadelphia favorites!

Last night we celebrated the Holidays at Alma de Cuba...hope you weren't too inconvenienced by the sign on the door...

When I first started dating Phil, we would come here and sit at the bar drinking Mojitos and eating Oysters Rodriguez.  While the oysters didn't make it on the menu last night...boo
Everything else was top notch from the atmosphere...

the food...

 and of course, the Mojitos!

Just wish I wasn't paying for it all day today...how do Rock Stars do it!?
