Homemade Pasta on the Horizon...

 I am inches away from making my own pasta w/ this cute little pasta machine from Crate and Barrel, or maybe just a simple rolling pin and some elbow grease will do...but, look, how beautiful are the possibilities!!

'And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.'
Genesis 1:29

The Blowing of the Shofar!!

A shofar is an instrument made from the horn of a ram or other kosher animal. It was used in ancient Israel to announce the New Moon (Rosh Chodesh) and call people together. It was also blown on Rosh Hashanah, marking the beginning of the New Year, signifying both need to wake up to the call to repentance, and in connection with the portion read on the second day of Rosh Hashanah, the Binding of Isaac (Genesis, chapter 22) in which Abraham sacrifices a ram in place of his son, Isaac.

L'shanah Tovah!!
Happy New Year!
