LA is

Passover, Huevos Rancheros, Griffith Park, Heathie and Alex, Joan's on Third, Fish Tacos, the Santa Monica Farmers Market, The Getty Center, and views, views, views...


Mommy's chopped liver, served with Yehuda Matzos

Gefilte fish with avocado and roasted beets in blood orange dressing


Seder plate, afikomen, and grandma's cross-stitch tablecloth


The Passover meal - brisket, Weiser's potatoes and carrots, Zuckerman's asparagus, and Aunt Sandee's applesauce


Sticky morning bun at Joan's


And a decadent strawberry shortbread muffin
