I passed this scene in Prospect Park yesterday evening and I couldn’t resist. There was something about the way both the kids and the parents matched. And the way you can easily imagine that this is the way dinner time at home might look. It was a beautiful evening for a picnic too.
My apologies for the lack of blogging lately. The painting period is over. Now, we’re into the unpacking period. You know the one: where you can find the printer, but you can’t find the power chord or the USB cable.
I’ve spent a lot of time lately thinking that I could do with a holiday. It’s been a busy year what with working on a couple of books and moving house.
Coincidentally, Sofie is planning a business trip to Peru. So, I have decided to join her. We leave in a few days. Any recommendations for Lima, Cuzco and Machu Picchu would be greatly appreciated. I am going to have a lot of time to myself to explore while Sofie is at work.

That’s a really cute photo!
small problem, there is something glaringly wrong with this picture: the grill is not kashrut (kosher). other meats, and they don’t even have to be pork, have been cooked there. non-kosher meats.
according to yeshiva.org.il, here’s what it says: “In theory it is possible to use a blowtorch (after cleaning off surface grease) and bring to a high glow, but it is generally impracticle at a public place. A use grill is also not easy to kasher but it can be done. You do need a blowtorch and some knowledge.”
Hi Alyssa
I wondered about that too. But if you take a closer look (I’ve uploaded a full size image here) I think you’ll find she’s barbecuing above the grill.
Does that count?
i see that as well, but i don’t think that matters. i know people who’ve had to kashrut kitchens, and it’s a HUGE thing. often they hire people. if the “cook above the grate” thing were true, it was be same as simply using kosher pots on an unkosher stove.
something is very unkosher about that situation. worse, they appear to be hasidic, which would make this even more unlikely.
herectics? certainly not in public.
anyone?
and i didn’t mean to be snarky, i hope it didn’t come across that way.
In the last picture paul I can see a lanky runner and a silver car that has a boot like a BMW 3 series but the nose is wrong so it must be some daft American copy yet these are not in the first picture… Have you edited runner and car out of the first picture? If so, you did a very smooth job.
Not at all, Alyssa.
And Beau, the runner and car were in one shot and not in the other because of a revolutionary law of physics known as motion.
I believe they have brought their own grill, complete with basin and coals, and are using the park grill merely as a platform for their own cooking device. When they get home they may have to kasher their own grill basin (probably not), but they wouldn’t have to do anything special to the park grill.
Greeting Paul: What a beauty photo, but why did you not take a close up photo?
Cowardice.
