Instead of brining or dry brining, simply buy a Kosher chicken. Salting the bird is part of 'Kashering' process.

thatgrrl, Sepharadim don't eat fish with dairy either.

Here in Israel it used to be SodaClub, now it's called Gazoz. I love mine and I can get CO2 refills at my local supermarket.

I also use fruit juice concentrate to flavor the soda water... apple cherry, pomegranate syrup.... yummy!

Sorry, but what the heck is a 'Jewish deli'?

Quinoa tabouli is a favorite at our house.

Vegetable kugels are popular and simple roasted veggies too (carrots, onions, mushrooms, cauliflower, zucchini, fresh garlic, season with black pepper).

You can bake on the holiday itself, but not on Shabbat.

To me blintzes are a food for Shavuot (Feast of weeks) which usually comes out in May and the traditional fare is dairy.

Now give me potato latkes with a dollop of sour cream and jelly or creme filled donuts and then I think Chanukah!

My sides tend to be candies sweet potatoes, a challah bread with corn and celery dressing, steamed green beans tossed with minced garlic, corn on the cob and to serve with the turkey, I make a cranberry relish.

2 packages of berry jello
1 can of whole cranberries
1 can of crushed pineapple or tidbits with the liquid.

Make the jello as per box directions. Let it set halfway. Then mix in the cranberries and pineapples, liquid and all.

Serve with the turkey (works with chicken and beef too). Also great on sponge or angle food cake and vanilla ice cream.

I'm not surprised they're taking it to court...

Every few years around Passover, some professor in Egypt sues Israel for damages and theft incurred during the 10 Plagues and during the Exodus... something about the labor lost and how the Hebrews stole the gold and jewels and... who knows.

You guys ran an article back in August (http://tinyurl.com/3qcb2f) about the Al Jazeera vodcast they do on street food around the world. This one was about Jerusalem and the tone was definitely "the Zionist entity has subjugated even the falafel from the Arabs".

My peasant taste buds are their excuse to basically commit fraud?

As someone who eats strictly Kosher, we depend heavily on the integrity of the owners, managers and chefs of the establishments we eat at.

The attitude of some of the people interviewed is astounding and disappointing.

Depending on where and when you were in south Florida, you might have gotten a Matzah and Charoset sandwich. Charoset is a paste eaten at the Passover seder, made from... well, if you're Eastern European (Ashkenazi), chances are it's chopped apples, chopped walnuts or hazelnuts and wine. If you're Southern European or North African (Sefaradi) or Middle Eastern (Mizrachi), chances are it's made from dates, figs, almonds, hazelnuts and wine.

Thanks for the recipe though. Definitely going to try this out on the family.

That guy from the health department is a bit of a maroon... anyone eating off those food carts does so with the expectation that at some point their food will come with a side order of salmonella or e coli. We all know it's a risk you take by buying their food.
