To Happiness
and Long Held Wishes
The Garden Party menu
includes sandwich
recipes, salads and
desserts.

The Mediterranean tuna
sandwich is a favorite of
many.  It's a tasty meal with
a Tuscan salad and melon
soup. Topped off with
cherry cobbler and peach
crisp for dessert, the menu
satisfies a variety of eaters
from carnivores through
vegetarians..
In 2007, the entertainment
book, To Happiness, will go into
its second printing.  The first
printing sold out in its first few
months.  Soon it will be back
with a new look.  Talented
friends donated their time and
redesigned the layout.  The
end result is stunning.  

As with the first printing, the full
price of the book will be
donated to charity.  
Fundraisers will cover the cost
of printing.  The book sells for
$8; purchasers should make
checks payable to one of the
10 charities listed below.  Book
orders will be filled at the
second printing.  Books may be
purchased from this website
then.

To Happiness includes menus
for Chanukah, Eid al Fitr,
Christmas and picnics.  The
second edition expands the
chapter of table settings and
gives readers new ideas for
inexpensive ways to cheer up
the dinner table.  


Next year, following the tradition
of To Happiness, a new
collection of multi-ethnic
recipes and entertainment
ideas is planned. It is entitled
Happy Times.  Readers will
have a variety of cultural
recipes as well as new ideas for
table settings.  There will be a
new chapter of dinner traditions
and another chapter on gift
wrapping.  Again, the proceeds
will go to selected charities.

For either book, please make
checks payable to one of the
following charities.
