A Light Year

In the past year, interesting projects that would yield so much content for Culiblog occupied me such that it was difficult to find time to write about them at all. Thankfully it’s the very first days into the New Year, a time for a resolution or two, one about more frequent and lighter blog postings, fueled by the memory of how energizing that used to be.
Here’s to a Light Year, easy to enjoy!
Shana Tova to you all.

- The nine day period between Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Jewish Day of Atonement) is called the Days of Awe, a time when we reflect, resolve and get ready for one big day of forgiveness and forgiving.
Good luck with that, by the way.
Here’s my favourite pomegranate-based recipe to lighten the load. It’s no coincidence that the Hindu holiday of Narvratri (the Nine Nights) and the Jewish Days of Awe fall at the same time as both cultures are enamoured with their adjusted lunar calendars.
During Navratri devout Hindus eat a strictly vegetarian diet, and depending on where you source your information and authority, devout Jews are asked to do the same - to lead a sober life, for example by not wearing any leathuh.
Here’s to a Light Year with plenty of joyous Cuisine Végètal.
