Passover in Rochester

A quick post with photos from our April visit to Rochester. Sam and Noah had a great time with their cousins, and it was great to have some quality time with the family.

Challah

I’ve been on a baking binge of late after re-reading ‘Beard on Bread’ by James Beard, that classic of baking from the 70s. After two outstanding batches of Monkey Bread (think coffee cake) I decided to go old-skool with some simple challah. For my first attempt in well, ever – I think they came out looking outstanding. The test will be in the tasting later after they cool.
