There is really nothing like fresh caught fish for a perfect meal. “Simple is best when you prepare fresh” is my motto. A little bit of seasoning, herbs, nuts or spices and you’ve got yourself a real meal that’s not only fresh-tasting but oh-so-good for you.

“What if the Secret to Success Is Failure?”
That was the tantalizing title of the lead story in the New York Times Sunday magazine a few weeks ago. The article makes us rethink an attitude that has become culturally accepted as unquestioned truth, and more profoundly, its conclusions encourage us to acknowledge the wisdom of Jewish tradition and the insights it asks us to emphasize in our observance of Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur is a day dedicated to acknowledging our failings.

It’s getting up afterwards that matters.

Over and over again we repeat the words, "I have sinned." We recognize that in many ways we "missed the mark," the literal translation of the Hebrew word for sin. We admit we weren’t perfect. If we were to be graded by God for our actions during the past year, we confess that in some areas we deserve an F.
And yet whoever heard of a mark like that in our contemporary culture?
For decades now parents have been told by many ostensible experts that all they are permitted to do in rearing children is to praise them. Criticism is always destructive of self-esteem, and self-esteem is the highest value we must pass on to our progeny. Make them feel good about themselves; that way they will feel happy and self contented. Don’t ever burden them with the verdict that they have failed to fulfill any objective. Don’t ever crush their spirits by telling them they could’ve done better. Rewards, not criticism or punishments, are what children need to become responsible adults.
The teaching profession, too, was slowly drawn into this philosophy of "praise at all costs" without any reminders of failure. Grade inflation turned everyone into a scholar, because "he tried his best and he might feel bad if he didn’t get an excellent mark." Valedictorians were eliminated in many schools because those who didn’t earn the honor felt the loss of self-esteem, and it just didn’t seem right to acknowledge that some weren’t as perfect as others. More liberal schools eliminated competitive sports – or if they had them, rejected keeping score – so that nobody would ever have to admit to being a loser.
We need to acknowledge our weaknesses and failings if we are ever to improve and become what we are capable of becoming.
But what if the real secret to success is failure?
What if we need to keep score in our own lives and to acknowledge our errors, our weaknesses, and our failings if we are ever to improve and become what we are capable of becoming?
The New York Times article is an eye-opener because it forces us to confront what previous generations knew and we chose to forget: Recognizing our shortcomings is the only way to achieve success in life.
Paul Tough, the author of the essay (the appropriateness of his last name is stunningly obvious), concludes his lengthy analysis with this observation:
.
.
Most Riverdale students can see before them a clear path to a certain type of success. They’ll go to college, they’ll graduate, they’ll get well-paying jobs — and if they fall along the way, their families will almost certainly catch them, often well into their 20s or even 30s, if necessary. But despite their many advantages, Randolph [the headmaster of this exclusive and very wealthy school] isn’t yet convinced that the education they currently receive at Riverdale, or the support they receive at home, will provide them with the skills to negotiate the path toward the deeper success that Seligman and Peterson hold up as the ultimate product of good character: a happy, meaningful, productive life. Randolph wants his students to succeed, of course — it’s just that he believes that in order to do so, they first need to learn how to fail.
.
.
To learn how to fail is nothing less than a succinct five word summary of the Yom Kippur confessional. It requires us to be mature enough to face up to the personal failings which well-meaning parents, teachers and friends tried to shield us from recognizing. It asks us to admit we’re not perfect precisely because we’re willing to take on the challenge of perfecting ourselves.
On Yom Kippur we have to define ourselves in light of a concept that Benjamin Barber, a political scientist at Rutgers University, believes is an ultimate truth about human behavior. We love to categorize people, usually by labeling them by one of two distinctly different characteristics. People are skinny or fat, introverted or extroverted, optimists or pessimists, serious or funny. All of these lead to stereotyping and to generalizations that aren’t completely accurate. But there is one division of people that Barber claims is the most crucial and correct way to differentiate between them. He says:
.
.
I don’t divide the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and the failures, those who make it or those who don’t. I divide the world into learners and non-learners – those who acknowledge their failures, learn from them, and move forward as opposed to those who can’t admit ever having done anything wrong, never learn from their mistakes, and doom themselves to reliving the errors of their ways.
That’s why on Yom Kippur, when we’re asked to reflect upon whether our lives can be considered a success, we’re judged by whether we’re courageous enough to confess our sins and to admit our failures.
.
.
To acknowledge, to God and to ourselves, where we’ve gone wrong in our lives doesn’t diminish us. On the contrary, it affords us the wisdom and strength to grow and to improve.
S. I. Hayakawa, former U.S. senator from California and a specialist in semantics, alerted us to an all-important distinction between two English words that most of us assume are identical: “Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, `I have failed three times,’ and what happens when he says, `I am a failure.’” To think of yourself as a failure is to create a perpetual self-image as a loser. But if you learn from your experience, if your failure inspires you to surpass yourself and to do it better next time, if you understand that failure is merely a momentary event but doesn’t define you—then you are an alumnus of the best school in the world, and your failure was the tuition you paid for your eventual success.
On Yom Kippur we evaluate ourselves. On Yom Kippur we are critical of our failings. On Yom Kippur we don’t deny our sins – we build on their memory for spiritual growth.
On Yom Kippur we realize the truth that failure – acknowledging it, learning from it, and rising from it – is really the secret of success.

…………………………………………
.
1 head of garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
5 leeks, sliced in half lengthwise,
cleaned from any dirt, and sliced thinly
4-5 large white onions, diced large
6 zucchini, peeled and diced large
2 quarts (8 cups) water
1/4 cup chicken soup mix
1/4 cup vegetable soup mix
1-2 tablespoons kosher salt (optional in place of soup mix)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Slice off the top of the head of garlic, just enough that the actual cloves are peeking out. Place the bulb on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil over the garlic and seal the foil.
Place sealed garlic in baking pan, to avoid leaking, and roast for 1 hour.
While garlic is roasting, place 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 6-quart pot over medium heat. Add leeks and onions; saute until golden brown. Browning longer will create a deeper flavor. Add zucchini to the pot. Add water, chicken soup mix and vegetable soup mix, or salt. Bring to a boil and cover.
Reduce heat, and simmer on low for 45 minutes. Remove the garlic from the oven and allow to cool. Pop out cloves directly into soup. Transfer soup to a blender and puree until smooth or use an immersion blender directly into the pot. Serve hot.
If there are leftovers, when reheating the soup, heat on low flame, just until warm.

Melt-in-Your-Mouth Fish
By Eileen Goltz | Jul 18th, 2012 |
www.ou.org/life/food/recipes/melt-mouth-fish-trout-nine-d…
Please note: Eileen Goltz is a freelance kosher food writer. The Orthodox Union makes no endorsements or representations regarding kashrut certification of various products/vendors referred to in her articles, blog or web site.
There is really nothing like fresh caught fish for a perfect meal. “Simple is best when you prepare fresh” is my motto. A little bit of seasoning, herbs, nuts or spices and you’ve got yourself a real meal that’s not only fresh-tasting but oh-so-good for you.
Trout is a great choice if you’re just getting started cooking fresh fish. You can cook it whole, with the skin on, or filet it. While the movies may show gruff and hearty outdoorsy kind of folks chopping heads off and filleting with a flick of a knife, it’s a tad more involved. (This process can, of course, be used for filleting most any kind of fish.)
Filleting Fish
First wash the fish off and place it on a clean surface. Your knives need to be clean and SHARP. Cut off the head just below the gills and then slit open the belly and remove the guts (yes, this is icky, just do it). As this is a messy job, make sure you have plenty of water to rinse the trout. You can cook the fish at this point or you can butterfly it.
To butterfly the trout, flip your trout upside down so the belly is facing up. Starting on one side of the fish, cut where the head used to be and slide the knife as close as you can get to the backbone and cut along the rib cage. Repeat the process on the other side, as close to the ribs as possible. Now it’s time to take out the backbone. Using your knife and starting at the head end cut underneath the backbone towards the tail, lifting the spine as you cut. Try not to cut through the skin. You have a butterflied trout but there are still more bones. You will see them on each side. You can remove the bones out by cutting as close to them as possible trying not to cut the skin.
If you can’t get the fresh stuff, you can use the fresh frozen or fresh-ish stuff from your grocery or specialty store. The following trout recipes can be used with other fish but, like I said, catch whatever kind you like best for the freshest bestest flavor.

—–PECAN PAN-FRIED TROUT WITH BROWNED BUTTER (fish and dairy)
Servings: 4 trout fillets
Ingredients:
1 /4 cup oil
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
1 cup fresh challah or panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley*
salt and ground black pepper
4 (6- to 8-ounce) skin-on trout fillets
lemon wedges, for garnish
Pecan Brown Butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 lemon
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil and place in the oven to warm.
In a bowl combine the pecans, breadcrumbs, and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Press the flesh side of each fillet into the pecan mixture. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place 2 trout in the pan, crust side down, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook until fish is opaque in the center and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer the trout to the prepared baking sheet, crust side up. Place the baking sheet in the oven. Repeat the process with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and the remaining
2 trout fillets. Transfer to warmed serving plates and serve immediately, garnished with the lemon.
Pecan Brown Butter
Wipe the skillet clean. Add 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and melt over medium heat. Allow the butter to foam and turn medium brown, swirling in the pan occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat, add the finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, and 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley; season with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the trout, crust side up, on warmed serving plates. Drizzle with the pecan butter. Serve immediately.

.
Ingredients:
6 small whole trout, about 1 pound each, cleaned and scaled
6 pieces aluminum foil, about 16 by 16-inches
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 lemons, sliced crosswise
12 cloves garlic, thinly sliced, divided
12 sprigs fresh rosemary, divided
12 sprigs fresh Italian parsley, divided
12 sprigs fresh mint, divided
12 sprigs fresh marjoram or oregano, divided
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons dry white wine, divided
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375. Rinse fish well inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Place 1 fish in the center of each square of aluminum foil. Rub each fish with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil on both sides, then season the fish both inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavities of each fish with lemon slices, 2 cloves of the sliced garlic, and 2 sprigs each of the rosemary, parsley, mint, and marjoram.
Fold all of the edges of the foil upwards to create a bowl-shape, and then drizzle each fish with 2 tablespoons of the remaining olive oil and 3 tablespoons each of the white wine. Fold the top and side edges together tightly so that the fish is completely enclosed in an airtight package. (Fold the edges downward so that the fish is tightly contained.)
Place the pouches on a large baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily when pierced with a fork.
Serve the fish immediately in shallow rimmed dinner plates or large shallow bowls, with the collected juices drizzled over the fish.

High school reunion, Sep 2011 – 29
Image by Ed Yourdon
This is Toni Nash, talking to Herb Livingston — whom we always referred to as "Mr. Livingston." He taught 11th-grade American History, and though he had not seen me for 50 years, he greeted me by name right away, and said, "Ed Yourdon – I remember you. You sat in the middle of my class. Not in the front, not in the back, in the middle of the classroom."
Which is certainly more than I remember from that class! Heck, I would be hard-pressed to tell you which side won the Revolutionary War, notwithstanding his excellent teaching style…
By the way, the view is looking west, out towards Northport Harbor, with Centerport in the background…
*******************************************
A long time ago, in what now seemvs like a galaxy far, far away, 300 of us gathered together to begin our high-school education in a spanking-new campus of buildings on Middleville Road, in the small village of Northport New York. Some of us had grown up with each other since kindergarten, others were strangers and new arrivals in town. Some of us ignored one another that first day; some of us formed friendships that would last a lifetime; and some of us discovered years later that, on that very first day of 9th grade, we were sitting — obliviously — next to the boy or girl we would eventually marry.
Four years later, almost all of us graduated. Roughly half of us stayed in Northport after the graduation ceremony, and settled down almost immediately to marry, have children, get a job, and build a life. The other half joined the military service, or went off to colleges and universities all across the country. A few of us died in Vietnam. Some of us settled in California or Florida or exotic places we had never heard of in high school … and many of us never came back to Northport, not even once.
But some of us did, first in 1971 and then again in 1981 and 1991. Some of us very much wanted to come back again in 2001, but the events of 9-11 made travel impossible during that week, and all we could do was mark a date on our calendar for what we hoped would be the next gathering — made all the more important by the fact that it would be our 50th anniversary reunion.
By the time September 17, 2011 finally rolled around, roughly 15% of our class had died — from cancer or other illnesses, or on the battlefield, or in automobile accidents, or from other tragic mishaps. Some had disappeared so completely that none of their classmates could find them; they had no Facebook membership, no Twitter ID, no e-mail address, no phone number, and no known snail-mail address. There were others we *did* track down, but they made it abundantly clear that they weren’t coming, and that they had no interest in anything associated with that motley crew of 300 kids who first gathered together in September 1957.
Ultimately, about 100 people did come together in Northport for the 50th reunion — including three of our teachers, whom we had assumed were *already* ancient when we first met them in 9th grade, but who turned out to be young pipsqueaks themselves, barely out of college and doing their best to teach us when they were in their mid-20s.
These photos are just the beginning of what will hopefully be a larger, collaborative collection of images taken with the camera-phones, the point-and-shoot cameras, the fancy DSLR behemoths, and a couple dozen disposable cameras sprinkled around the place where we gathered. There’s not enough room to tell everyone’s stories here, but you’ll find a few notes and comments and tags to give you an idea of who was there, and what they’re all about.

High school reunion, Sep 2011 – 30

This is Paul Fazio (on the left), chatting with Herb Livingston on the right. Or, to be appropriately proper about it, Mister Fazio talking with Mister Livingston.
Mr. Livingston, as noted in a previous photo, taught 11th grade American History.
Mr. Fazio was a guidance counselor for many of us (though I vaguely recall that I had someone else, who steered me towards MIT, for better or worse). And he was subsequently the Assistant Principal of the school.
And they were both young, young men when they taught us…
Note: for some reason, this photo was published in a Nov 4, 2011 Back to School blog, as well as a Nov 5,2011 blog titled "Q&A: What are some of your favorite outfit ideas for back to school?" — with the same caption and details and detailed notes that I had written on this Flickr page.
*******************************************
A long time ago, in what now seems like a galaxy far, far away, 300 of us gathered together to begin our high-school education in a spanking-new campus of buildings on Middleville Road, in the small village of Northport New York. Some of us had grown up with each other since kindergarten, others were strangers and new arrivals in town. Some of us ignored one another that first day; some of us formed friendships that would last a lifetime; and some of us discovered years later that, on that very first day of 9th grade, we were sitting — obliviously — next to the boy or girl we would eventually marry.
Four years later, almost all of us graduated. Roughly half of us stayed in Northport after the graduation ceremony, and settled down almost immediately to marry, have children, get a job, and build a life. The other half joined the military service, or went off to colleges and universities all across the country. A few of us died in Vietnam. Some of us settled in California or Florida or exotic places we had never heard of in high school … and many of us never came back to Northport, not even once.
But some of us did, first in 1971 and then again in 1981 and 1991. Some of us very much wanted to come back again in 2001, but the events of 9-11 made travel impossible during that week, and all we could do was mark a date on our calendar for what we hoped would be the next gathering — made all the more important by the fact that it would be our 50th anniversary reunion.
By the time September 17, 2011 finally rolled around, roughly 15% of our class had died — from cancer or other illnesses, or on the battlefield, or in automobile accidents, or from other tragic mishaps. Some had disappeared so completely that none of their classmates could find them; they had no Facebook membership, no Twitter ID, no e-mail address, no phone number, and no known snail-mail address. There were others we *did* track down, but they made it abundantly clear that they weren’t coming, and that they had no interest in anything associated with that motley crew of 300 kids who first gathered together in September 1957.
Ultimately, about 100 people did come together in Northport for the 50th reunion — including three of our teachers, whom we had assumed were *already* ancient when we first met them in 9th grade, but who turned out to be young pipsqueaks themselves, barely out of college and doing their best to teach us when they were in their mid-20s.
