That’s amazing, considering they did it without Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, and fancy coffees like French Press, espresso, and Frappucinos. They accepted prepackaged, preroasted, overheated, watered-down, one-flavor-fits-all coffee. And…

Christmas is upon you and you still have to give something to the neighbors, the babysitter, the dog walker, the mail person, the hairdresser, the karate instructor, the crossing guard, your office Secret Santa, and your kid’s best friend’s mother (sigh). You could go to the mall and get them…
With Chanukah in full swing you’ve probably had your fill of gelt, the chocolate coins given to children on the holiday. Your fingers and wrists are swollen and sore from all that dreidel spinning, but thankfully it earned you a bank account full of shekels. The fried potato pancakes, called…
