"I
highly recommend cookbook author Norene Gilletz as a presenter for
Jewish Book Fairs, stores or community events...Imagine Julia Child as
a Canadian Jewish mother - Norene is a real crowd-pleaser. She ought
to be on the Food Channel, showing Emeril how to kick it up a
"nosh!"

a Weber Gas Grill in my Grilling Classes - it's wonderful! Hope to see

watermelon! No buts about it - get off your butt and help.
You'll burn off some calories and also do a good deed. Remember, the
fork lift is NOT an aerobic exercise.
