OT: Migraine was Shana Tova - Happy New Jewish Year 5767

Getting building management here to fix anything is like pulling teeth out of a troll (Discworld reference). There was a roof leak in June (lightning hit the roof and made a big hole), they still haven't replaced damaged ceiling tiles, which look like they are growing mold now (everybody say "eeeewwwww.") So if you have a mold/mildew allergy, it is probably making your headache worse when you are at work.... -- Brenda Help Project Gutenberg--become a Distributed Proofreader http://www.pgdp.net/ |

May you and your loved ones experience a happy and healthy New Year. As a teenager, I hated peeling what seemed like many bags of carrots and sweet potatoes for tsimmes. My attempts don't come close to my mother's sigh Ah, I remember those days. In preparation for this weekend, I finally splurged on a new, large, Cuisinart. My old 7 cup one is packed somewhere, and y'know - it's so much easier with the food processor (not the peeling, but the grating, shredding, chopping). I started doing the cooking with my grandmother when I was pretty young - so poor mom had the reverse problem as we got older - the request for me to cook. But, she was a pretty good cook, didn't really like doing it so was happy for me to go at it. I'm excited that I was able to order Taglaich from Wegmans. I was toying with the idea of making one - growing up in NY & Miami, every bakery had their own special one. For the rest of you - it's a mounded thing of little kind of crunchy balls coated with honey, and some have nuts, candied cherries in the mound. A wondrous, gooey treat for the New Year. Have a happy, ellice 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 Ok Here it is Rosh Hashana recipe: Teyglakh (your spelling may vary) Makes about 75 confections - 2 teaspoons vegetable oil - 2 eggs, beaten - 1-½ cups flour - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1 cup mild-flavored honey - ½ cup granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon ground ginger - Baker's parchment or wax paper - 1 cup finely chopped nuts (optional) 1. Combine oil and beaten eggs. Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Add flour mixture to egg mixture, beating to form a dough. 2. Knead dough slightly, adding more flour if necessary. Roll dough on a floured surface into a long rope, about ½-inch thick. Cut into ½-inch pieces. 3. Combine honey, sugar and ginger in a heavy saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Add a batch of dough pieces, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on parchment or wax paper to cool. (The confections will be sticky.) Continue cooking until the dough is used. Roll in the chopped nuts, if using. This recipe was first published in The Seattle Times in 1984 If you put them into an aluminium pie plate and leave at room temperature, they will congeal into a big mess which is really fun to pull apart. Eating more than half the recipe before they get a chance to coll all the way down means you have to make more. (Don't ask me how I know) My grandmother would always make these and would add candied cherries. We always make blintzes at his time of year. My two DIL's now know how to make them and my Grand daughters are now learning. George -- There is no such thing as being beneath one's dignity to put in an honest day's work.

Thanks for the tip. 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? My wife doesn't think anything is a mess if it involves grandkids. However anything is a mess if it involves her husband.

When she was a younster she would go to bubbe's house on the weekend and they would make blintzes. She would always keep those she made seperate because they were for her father. Now she has taught her DIL's and is now teaching the next geneation. Favorites for the grands are blintzes and cookies. Both of my sons can cook and worked as cooks in restaurants growing up. I knoow I'll never starve as long as there's a kitchen handy. George -- There is no such thing as being beneath one's dignity to put in an honest day's work.

I had to be leaving something out, cooking couldn't be that simple. Well, you forgot to tell them to bring it to boil and then turn down the flame. Boiled over rice can make a mess of the cooktop. I normally only make brown rice, so for me it a liitle more water and once it boils, turn it downand wait 45 minutes. My wife never makes the rice.
