Nothing Muffin

Available at my local (and favorite) bagel shop, Bagel Works:



I'll stick to the bagels, thank you very much.

Tipping culture

One of the things that visitors to the US notice is all the tipping that we do. I don't remember when it started, but Americans tip for everything. I try to avoid it - I still refuse to tip the Starbuck's person for turning around and pouring me a cup of coffee - but find myself tipping more than I did when I lived in London.

One person I'm inconsistent with is the bathroom attendant. I can't really describe my criteria that dictate whether I leave a tip, but handing me a towel doesn't cut it. There has to be something more...

Tourists

No, I'm not referring to my parents (in the upper right-hand corner of the picture).



Seen in Grand Central Terminal this past Friday evening.

Tweak Tweak

A new year calls for a little addition to Jaffe. The banner at the top is a series of pictures taken by Antonio (Serena's brother) of me and Serena at the Naples Airport before I made my way back Stateside (grazie, Antonio!). Of course, the change to the layout couldn't have been done without Eric, my blog guru (תודה רבה, Eric!).

Also, the rest of the pictures from the vacation in Italy are up. Enjoy!
