Sometimes things can get a bit wild here at FridayReads. The pants come off (and sometimes stay off all weekend), our hair comes down, and we let loose with multiple books at a time. Our FridayReads usually don’t fit in just one Tweet so we’ve compiled a list here for your reading pleasure. Still…

Here at Team FridayReads, we are practicing book addicts. Because we suffer from this contagious and life-saving malady, we often read multiple books at a time. This means our hair is extra shiny, we walk with extra pep in our step, and our #fridayreads won’t fit in one Tweet!
Here’s what…

Maurice Sendak has died, at age 83. Above* is a clip of my daughter, then age 2, singing Alligators All Around.
He was one of my favorite parenting writers.
Wait, you thought his books were for kids?
Chicken Soup With Rice is a brilliant “Playful Parenting” approach to living with a picky eater.
Pierre is one of the best descriptions I’ve read on how (not) to deal with...

My (extremely trusty) psychologist always tells me that the longest a mixed group of people can last when, say, vacationing in the same house, is 72 hours. Right at the 72 hour mark someone is sure to break. He prescribes long, solitary walks to keep this dreaded 72 hour curse at bay. Or, in my…
Oh, I am so honored by this post!

sprinklefingers: Chocolate cake class - Online! →
sprinklefingers:
Oh, technology. Sometimes I love you. Sometimes I hate you. Sometimes I’m on the fence about you. Here’s something I’m on the fence about: Craftsy has an Alice Medrich-taught chocolate cake class on tap - you pay a one time class fee of $59.99 and you get to watch the ‘class’ as many times as…

When is matzo brei actually a potato pancake?
When you mix them together. Like in this matzo-potato pancake which is a terrific lunch or brunch dish during Passover.

On Passover, as we taste the maror and chazeret to remember the bitter tears of slavery I also remember the people who are no longer with us at our Seder.
My parents and Ed’s parents. My grandma, at whose house I spent all the Seders of my childhood, my cousin Leslie and I scampering under the table to tickle peoples’ feet as Uncle Irving led the reading.
It’s always at the...
