It’s #RoshHashanah and we are heading into the year 5781. If you’d like additional information regarding this High Holiday, or #Judaism, I will cheerfully send you a list of must-reads.

This year, I’m passing some of my centuries old recipes down to a friend who is a bigger #Foodie than even me. I’m also making her swear on a stack of Bibles not to give away recipe secrets until I’m dead.

If you’re looking for something different to check out online, please visit @thepeckishthinker and allow well-written words and beautiful food photos to entertain and inspire you. I’ll be over here, on the corner of #PoisonInLethalDoses and #HowUncensoredCanYouGet. You can also go directly to PeckishThinker.com

I planted two at the end of August and look forward to adding 4-6 more to different regions next year. We do this to honor loved ones, to memorialize them, to celebrate, etc. Many were planted in my Grandfather’s name after he passed away, so I always associate this gesture with positive energy. The tree will outlive us all.

Before I Go On…

Quote 2020-09-142020-09-16 Miss Poison Quotes Ambivalence, Ambivalent, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hopeless, Hopelessness, Implausible, Impossible, Inner Conflict, Intelligence, Opposing Views, Quotes

“Before I go on with this short history, let me make a general observation– the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.
One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise. This philosophy fitted on to my early adult life, when I saw the improbable, the implausible, often the “impossible,” come true.” ―F. Scott Fitzgerald

Just a quiet day, dealing with some flu-like symptoms. Hoping it’ll pass and I will regain some energy, otherwise I know where I’m headed. 😦

Memorializing Year Nineteen

2020-09-112020-09-14 Miss Poison September 11th New York City, September 11th, Shanksville, Terrorism, Washington D.C.

I don’t have anything particularly wise or witty to share on the 19th anniversary of 9/11.

As a New Yorker, I remember every minute of the day and those which preceded. I will NEVER forget the smell of smoke, engine fuel, metal, and human lives in the air. I’ll never forget the people who reached out to me to make sure that my family and I were safe. I will always remember that if I’d taken a job in the towers, I might not be here today.

My memory is long, but life is shorter. Keep your loved ones close.
