Bitten by a Chicken – Honey Chicken Bites (reiteration)

I have been remiss, Beautiful People, both in reading your posts and answering your kind comments. Please accept my sincere apologies!

Tofu Can Bite, Too!

This is a multipurpose endeavor, Beautiful People. Lovely Carol of https://carolcooks2.com has announced that today is both an International Vegetarian Day and The World Music Day. I have thought of combining them in one post, especially since I already have it, originally meant for Sukkot. Even thought the holidays are over, I still hope you…

Blessings to the Entire World!

Due to technical issues, I have been unable to post all my Sukkot (Sukkos) and Simchat Torah (Simchas Torah) recipes in time for the holidays. I have combined some of them into a single post; simply click on each link, Beautiful People, and enjoy! https://koolkosherkitchen.wordpress.com/2017/10/04/tofu-can-bite-too// https://koolkosherkitchen.wordpress.com/2017/07/20/stuffed-peppers-where-is-the-beef/ https://koolkosherkitchen.wordpress.com/2016/10/23/silver-chair-polygamy-and-mount-sinai/ Every day of this seven-day festival, culminating by…

Strong and Sweet: Poached Pears

“For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” Do I really have to cite a source for this one? I’d rather have you enjoy the beginning of “star-cross’d lovers” tragic story, as brilliantly expressed in music by Prokofiev. Although it has nothing to do with pears, Shakespear’s play…

Deconstructed Honey Cake

Sadly, my attitude also went sort of sideways resulting in absence of photos. Fortunately, you can only see both the process and the product in the video featured in https://lastingjoyclub.wordpress.com/2018/09/21/explore-yourself/. As you have seen in the video, it’s the easiest funky dessert you’ve ever made: crumble a piece of cake into a wine glass, add finely…

Tzimmes mit Fasoles – Red Beans with Honey

One of my family legends (every family has at least one, doesn’t it?) places the origins of my grandmother’s side in Cadiz, Spain, up until the year 1478, when part of the family managed to escape in the nick of time, before the Expulsion Edict and the fires of Inquisition. Whether this claim has any…

Not Your Bubbe’s Honey Cake

I use this opportunity to share with you, Beautiful People, an invitation to participate in dear Esme’s Senior Salon and linkup. Please visit Esme’s fabulous blog and find a…

Tofu Can Bite, Too!

When Avrohom (Abraham) Our Father was traveling in the desert, he would make sure to position his tent at the crossroads and make entrances on all four sides, open to travelers coming from every direction. He would then treat them to a sumptuous feast, making sure every guest was offered food of his preference. After…

Bitten by a Chicken – Honey Chicken Bites

Have you ever been bitten by a chicken? No? Chicken don’t bite? Are you sure? What about figuratively, rather than literally, when a whole bunch of people, almost three million of them, got bitten, that is, obsessed, by the same idea? It happened about thirty three hundred years ago, and those people were by no…

Penicillin, Honey Ginger Whiskey Cocktail

In response to the Daily Prompt IRRELEVANT I am sharing this delicious and extremely healthy recipe with you, Beautiful People, because it seems totally irrelevant to anything, but in reality, it isn’t: we are in the month of High Holidays when honey is always prominent on the table and in all our recipes. In fact,…
