After catching the Modigliani exhibit at New York’s Jewish Museum last week with Sharon V. (KN Blog commenter, who’s visiting from Israel), we stopped for lunch at the museum’s Cafe Weissman (named for the people who donated the space).

While green tea is known for its healing properties, white tea can even destroy in vitro the organisms that cause disease. Wow! Look closely at the seedless red grapes in your supermarket.

OK, there’s no way I can argue with peanut-butter/chocolate pie (although my feeling is, why ruin the chocolate with that peanut butter?) But let’s just say you want to have, say, a salad before the pie. Here are a few more dressing possibilities – some healthy, and some, well… NASOYA (800-VITASOY) has soy-based salad dressings Continue Reading »
