EFGO Joining Forces with Dawn Nagle Gallery

EFGO Joins Forces with Dawn Nagle Gallery EFGO is joining producing forces with Dawn Nagle Gallery.

A Story About a Summer of Lessons Learned

By Every Family's Got One Guest Writer -- Lisa Leshaw image by rawpixel It never occurred to me that Sariyah, my very best friend on the entire planet, was black. Her skin was darker than mine until at least mid-August of each year when mine became the browner of the two with a little solar support. Perhaps on some level... I realized the difference in our coloring. I just never thought it amounted to anything important or meant that Sariyah would be treated any differently on that basis. Especially since every girl in our 6th-grade class spent [...]

A Story About a Love Affair with Chinese Food

By Every Family's Got One Guest Writer -- Jackie Friedman Image by Rawpixel It all began in the Chinese restaurant in Scarsdale thirty years ago. My son says he still remembers his first experience .... with a wonton. My friend was serving soup to the children from a large steaming bowl of Wonton soup when she put a wonton into his small dish and broke it up with a spoon, releasing aromatic vapors. That was it for Brad, the beginning of a life long love affair.... with Chinese food. The steam wafted from the dish into the atmosphere, [...]
