An Open Book: Ex Libris – Umkum Fun Der Yidisher Kovne

Genealogists talk about family trees. I believe a more accurate metaphor for family relations is that of a roughly crocheted blanket. Bits of lore or documents link relatives together: a birth certificate ties parents, children, and siblings; a marriage certificate ties together groom, bride and newlywed’s parents, and so on. More strands are tied together as documents are discovered or people interviewed, yielding more distant relatives and relationships, until the genealogist decides that enough is enough and returns to a more central part of the crochet.

Paella is the national dish of Spain. The first time I ate paella was over twenty years ago in Seville, Spain.

In its traditional form, it is a rice dish made with Spanish chorizo, rabbit and fresh seafood. The name is believed to have come from an old Arabic word meaning leftovers. I think that is a very appropriate name.

You can make this dish with any combination of protein Read More
