Desperate times call for desperate measures


These times call for all of us to assess our priorities. We are doing all we can to stay in touch with our grandchildren, and have even started a daily story-time, reading the two youngest books that we share on our Kindles, and chatting and texting with the older ones. But something we really miss is pizza.

So, we decided to try this ourselves. It has been many years since I worked with yeast dough, but I guess it is a bit like riding a bicycle, you never really forget how. We may have left it in the oven a tad too long, but I have to say it really did come out quite well, particularly since we no longer have access to the “professionals” with their equipment and secret formulas.


Being uncertain how it would work out, we did not buy a lot of yeast, and now all the on-line sources seem to be cleaned out. So, after Passover we will need to start the search if we want to keep doing this! I want to hope that life will return to something closer to normal before we use up the yeast.

Meanwhile, as a break from the constant news on COVID-19, we watched a few movies from the 1980s and 90s. I am sure you have all seen these, but they really are enjoyable enough to watch again.




And the one show that thankfully seems to continue to be aired every day is Jeopardy!

Lastly, an uplifting message from Rabbi Avi Weiss.





Just do everything you can to keep you and your family healthy!

Love,


Rebecca
