Do You Have Lids for Your Dip Bowls?
Wouldn’t you like to just cover your dip bowls on Friday night and then use them again without having to wash and refill them? On a recent chat amongst us here at Between Carpools, Victoria mentioned how she’d love dip bowls that have lids instead of washing them out after the seuda on Friday night…
Turn Your Chicken Soup into a New Weekday Meal
It’s the Jewish multivitamin, but it’s also a multitasker. Between the five of us, there is always a conversation going. Whether via Whatsapp (that one never stops), or even, via the good old telephone. There is nothing like a shmooze, and those happen most of the time while cooking. It was during one of those…

How to Make Your Own Hard Salami
There’s only one ingredient. Well, maybe two: The salami and the wait. Close to Purim, a friend of ours was hosted in Brooklyn for a family simcha.
