Do you actually have a recipe for taglaich? I personally never liked it, too sweet, but I would love to surprise my friends by making it. My grandmother was useless when it came to getting recipes from her and her standard answer was you put in a little of this, some of that, etc. When I asked how much was a little, the answer generally was "Till it looks right." Not much help for the recipe impaired like me. My mother didn't like it, so I never found out the how. Lucille Yes - I do. But, I've never made it. I'll look for it, and send it in a bit. I'm just about to run out to Costco - to buy folding chairs. And then stop at either Linens & Things or Bed Bath Beyond, and use a coupon to get a tablecloth - found the pads, but don't think I have the huge size (seats 12-16) in an accessible place. I'll send the recipe later today. Ellice I've made it once. Boiled over honey syrup makes a very impressive mess. Use a big pot. Sara |

Isn't it amazing that our grandmothers never thought of anything being a mess if it was a goodie for a grandchild, while this generation with all the different things available to us that are supposed to make our lives easier, worry about that kind of thing? |

Elizabeth - you'd amazed at the difference in cost across the country in something as everyday as a gallon of milk, a pound of butter or a can of Herseys cocoa. Cheryl Even in the same city. In my neighborhood, I have two major American grocery chains, which charge $1.09 for a can of Del Monte whole potatoes. If I'm willing to sit on a bus for a while, and carry my groceries further from that bus route, I can go to the Asian supermarket, which charges 59c for the exact same item. Ditto for canned carrots, $1.09 at my nearest grocery, 59c at the Asian supermarket south of town. And if you're in one of California's extremely rural areas where it's 30+ miles to the nearest chain supermarket (and inaccessible in winter because the mountain pass is closed), you might pay 50% more at the local mom-and-pop grocery than we're paying here in the city. -- Karen C - California www.CFSfacts.org where we give you the facts and dispel the myths September is National Pain Awareness Month Finished 9/20/06 -- baby bib WIP: baby and housewarming gifts, July birthstone, Flowers of Hawaii (Jeanette Crews) for ME!!!

what amazes me is the speed with which some people manage to shift the terms of a discussion as soon as someone says something different than what they said. I didn't see cost or feeding volunteers in the original post, just recipe doctoring. Elizabeth I said "I have regularly had people beg for my brownie recipe and refuse to believe that it's the 99c Safeway house brand mix." I did not say WHAT people, or for WHAT purpose I was baking the cheap brownies, only that they taste better with more water than the box calls for. You apparently read into that, that the only way that I bake brownies is from a 99c mix, because you countered "Or you can bake from scratch and really have something good. The cake on the back of the Hershey's cocoa can doesn't take any more time than a boxed cake mix and is a zillion times better." I never said that this is the only way I bake brownies. I never said that I don't make them from scratch. I never said that I thought scratch baking takes more time. You felt the need to criticize not baking from scratch, without bothering with accurate facts (like that I have posted a very involved, very expensive scratch recipe here in the past that proves it was unnecessary for you to suggest that my only goal was getting brownies made as quickly as possible). You assumed facts not in evidence, and then got annoyed when I pointed out your assumption was wrong by filling in facts that were unnecessary to the original comment, in order to correct your false assumption that I think a mix is as good as scratch. I know perfectly well -- as does almost everyone else here -- that if you want something really good, you bake from scratch. There was no need to point that out in a discussion that centered on *doctoring* recipes, unless you were going to tell us HOW you doctor the recipe on the Hershey's can. Which you didn't, so the only reasonable interpretation of that comment was that you were criticizing the use of a mix for any reason, instead of constructively contributing to the discussion of how recipes can be doctored. -- Karen C - California www.CFSfacts.org where we give you the facts and dispel the myths September is National Pain Awareness Month Finished 9/20/06 -- baby bib WIP: baby and housewarming gifts, July birthstone, Flowers of Hawaii (Jeanette Crews) for ME!!!

So, the cocoa alone would cost more than the 99c mix. The recipe I'm talking about uses no butter and 2 eggs, some oil, milk, and a cup of boiling water with flour, sugar, cocoa, vanilla and is worth every damned penny it costs. Best chocolate cake you'll ever eat and one of the easiest you'll ever make. You dump all the dry ingredients in a bowl, then mix in all the wet ones and you're done. 3/4 cup of cocoa is about 1/4 of the can (which claims to contain 45 tablespoons), which here costs $2.89. Elizabeth Elizabeth - you'd amazed at the difference in cost across the country in something as everyday as a gallon of milk, a pound of butter or a can of Herseys cocoa. Well, duh. I wouldn't be amazed at all. I spent 15 years in the Mid-West, don't forget. But what amazes me is the speed with which some people manage to shift the terms of a discussion as soon as someone says something different than what they said. I didn't see cost or feeding volunteers in the original post, just recipe doctoring. You'd think I'd learn. Elizabeth I hadn't spotted that, but so be it! Actually, I still like the Jiffy mix corn muffins better than just about any other method, including scratch, non-sweet ones. Cheryl |

Lucille - I read the recipe last night. Big warning - use a really big pot - don't worry - it won't be too big once you get going. I'll send it to you separately since I'm taking it from a cookbook. FWIW - I highly recommend "Joan Nathan's Jewish Holiday Kitchen" - it's available in paperback or hardback. She's local to the DC area - and has researched tons of recipes complete with attributions. The taiglach - she says is something that Lithuanian Jews make for all kinds of celebrations. DH whose family is Lithuanian was quite thrilled (which then opens our debate that I, he somewhat, believe someone in his family became Catholic in the old country - for whatever reason. He speaks way too much Yiddish for a guy who grew up in a town with 0 Jews (well, the dentist, but he converted to Catholcism), a convent, a Catholic school, and a lot of churches. Got to run - haven't had my coffee yet! ellice |

Cheryl I like the Jiffy mix also because it has no eggs or milk in the mix and doesn't call for any either which means I can make it for my dairy-allergic/egg-allergic friends. Alison |
