When Shaya was eating this dish in his mother-in-law Rachel’s house, he asked his wife Raizel, “Why don’t you make this as good as your mom does?”
Raizel answered, “Because you told me you’re on a diet, and I listened!”
Raizel had attempted a low-fat version of this dish. A good wife does as her husband asks. And a good mother-in-law keeps her son-in-law spoiled with good food. —Victoria Dwek
