Billy's Bakery


We tested Billy's Bakery and we thought that it was a great place to get all kind of sweets. It is a great pit stop for an on the road trip. It has cookies, cupcakes, bread, bars and brownies. Posted by: Sam Fabricant.

Carmel Matzoh Crunch



I brought a goody bag of carmel matzoh crunch to Maribeth and she loved it!  Toughest thing about making this annual Passover favorite is deciding whether to use white chocolate along with the dark. Yum!

Pacific House



For about ten years I've helped friends, family and former colleagues prepare and serve dinner to 50-60 men the first Monday of every month at Pacific House.  What started as a community service project has become a labor of love.  I first learned about the shelter at a friend's birthday party and "apprenticed" with a group from a local travel agency. Joe always brings the rolls and  and butter.  Last night he also brought a small watermelon just for Sidney, our favorite staff member.  Rob and his mom brought the cupcakes with sprinkles, offering each guest a choice of vanilla or chocolate.  Little things make all the difference.

Well-being

Thanks, Maggie, for recommending Robert's yoga class. He's terrific and I've really been enjoying stretching, breathing, and everything else. Thinking about wellness reminded me of a scene I captured on film nearly 20 years ago when I spent a month  in Dakar, Senegal. Every evening at dusk, hundreds of people engaged in calisthenics on the beach.
