Dos
Madres Reading
What a great time Sunday, reading at the JCC on the Hudson
from Dos Madres’ Realms of the Mothers. As always, Dr. George Kraus was a wonderful
host. Maxine
Silverman’s new book is Shiva
Moon (Ben Yehuda Press), a lyrical
elegy to her father; and Ruth Handel’s is Momentary Stays (Dos Madres), poems about leading writing workshops
inside a psych ward.

Chai Smoothie
Banishing
the chill of early spring is this smoothie with its warm spices and
thirst-quenching almond milk.

1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
Place dates and
almond milk in a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup and chill for 2 hours to
soften dates. Put dates, almond milk, cocoa powder, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom,
nutmeg and vanilla in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Serve
immediately.

debut novelist got the job done
I gave several people near-heart failure when I finally joined Facebook two weeks ago. Yes, it's me. Late to the party. So c'mon on by and friend me, like my Free Ferry page, and let me know how you use Facebook to expand your world as an artist.
Until next time,
