Chocolate-Covered Matzo, Artisan Style
Hate to admit it - but I've *never* had chocolate covered matzoh. Slathered with butter and salt yes - but not chocolate. Since this is the second time today someone's mentioned this treat, I'm going to try the Epicurious recipe. Thanks Catherine!
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 11: Less Really Is More
I think there's an important connection missed here that relates more to generation gap than portion size. Our parents - those raised in the earlier part of the century - who struggled to attain even middle class status, would always comfort themselves that they had enough food on the table for their family. Although the quality was great - like my own Jewish mother's home cooking - if you didn't leave the table "full" you weren't fed enough. And at family gatherings, that same Jewish mother would be scooping out and dropping another large dollop of mashed potatoes with onions on yur plate even as she asked "would you like more?"
To take less was an insult to the cook and the house!
Food to them was not "art" - it was life, wealth, happiness.
And here comes Passover!
Cook the Book: Nigella Express
1. Buy prepared foods.

Paris for the outdoor markets, Vienna for the pastry, Croatia to check on the ancestors.
Spumoni: Love It or Leave It?
Hey Baha:
Nostrand Avenue (especially in front of Senior's) and Kings Highway with the low spark of high heeled boys were the hangouts. Can't say much about the Italians and Irish but we certainly mixed it up around Marine Park.
Dang if this ain't makin' me nostalgic...
Spumoni: Love It or Leave It?
To dmorriso -
Unknown to non-Italians!? Per my comments above, we were a bunch of Jews from Brooklyn hangin' there! :)
Although hanging out in the likes of Bensonhurst was sort of exotic...
Spumoni: Love It or Leave It?
My buds and I used to hang out in Spumoni Gardens back in my college days (late 60's). It's such a kick to see that it's been "discovered".
Spumoni was always a treat - never felt it was anything special. In fact, back in the day, if you went out to eat "italian food" - usually spaghetti in clam sauce, veal or chickent parmgiana, or baked ziti - spumoni was always offered as dessert.
Where's the best? You're probably there... and it certainly is the classic! :)
Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway
Most definitely matzoh with salted butter!
Who Really Fathered the Everything Bagel?
CapeCodBob:
Haven't seen egg bagels in years - and bialys seem to have disappeared from most bagel shops as well.
You should know that bialys and bagels are made from different flours. And the onions in the center are usually caramelized - not toasted like on bagels.
As far as I know, the only purveyor of quality bialys these days is Kossars on the lower east side....
And has everyone forgotten pletzels and onion boards? Oy, such aches I have for those on a Saturday night....

Your Pizza, Your Pol
Oh yeah, and all this micro-targeting has only pointed out that, yet again, I do not fall neatly into any one category.
Your Pizza, Your Pol
My hubby loves Homerun Inn b/c of all the cheese they load on.
I love the 3 forks pizza with olives, mushrooms, and ricotta. Soooo good, but the pizza need to be bigger.
Your Pizza, Your Pol
I'm with you on that too, Adam. I think it has something to do with my childhood when my mom would buy us the microwave totino's personal pizzas....I ate them all summer long for two years! Now....how can you really pass up a piece of your childhood for $0.99?? This is really painful to admit....
Your Pizza, Your Pol
Although they sound good, those Wolfgang Puck frozen pizzas DO NOT TASTE GOOD. Seriously.
I don't mind the other two, Amy's Mushroom and Olive Pizza is very yummy.
I have a Tombstone Pizza fetish...does that mean McCain? You know, he's from Arizona...
Who am I kidding, there's no chance in hell I'm voting McCain.
Chocolate-Covered Matzo, Artisan Style
I recently saw a box of matzoh in a local store, but it was called "Bible Bread"! I laughed out loud. I'm so glad to see there are so many non-Jews who aren't afraid of the matzoh!
Richard - we must have had the same grandmother, with the U-Bet syrup!
