Oh! You Cook!

Jazz up your sukkah!










A Dear Reader forwarded this to me, mostly for its name.   Food Blogger Music, an instrumental jazz piece by Dead Cat Bounce (a stock market term unrelated to felines).  If you like jazz, you'll love it!

You still here?  Okay, I'll entertain you with few more sentences, then go already!

You are probably asking yourself, what about wedding photos?  Unfortunately there were no pockets in my gown to stash a camera, so I couldn't take any photos of The Big Event.  An…
