Here is a cake I made.  It is orange-lemon-walnut-cardamom cake with apricot filling and powdered sugar on top.  Here are Skully and mini-Skully to wish you a happy erev.

Also for dinner:  Asian white sweet potatoes with middle eastern spices, whole wheat/cornmeal matzoh kugel, cajun BBQ chicken, steamed Italian-herbed broccoli, and of course E’s very excellent homemade challah—an international hodgepodge.

Who says midwestern food has to be bland and boring?
