Snapshots from Israel: Rugelach from Marzipan Bakery in Jerusalem

Their rugelach are too mushy for me, but I still dream of their cinnamon rolls. And they have the best challah. But everyone knows about Marzipan's rugelach, Moshiko falafel, etc. Post about something off the beaten track!

Cook the Book: Borscht

I made this over the weekend and it was good. My only complaint was that the grated potato cooked more quickly than the other vegs and became mushy. I would chop them next time for some textural interest - rather than a bunch of grated shreds. But overall good and my baby loved it!

Market Scene: Chicago in May

Why is Nichols Farm at every single farmer's market in Chicagoland, with more produce than any other stand, and have it earlier than anyone else? Could it really all be from a local farm? I'm suspicious. Someone should do an expose.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 68: Coming Up on the Big 5-0

Impressive! I really love this series. You've been brave about posting all your triumphs and mistakes. And, all i can say (as a thin person who eats candy and junk food almost every day): portions, portions, portions.

Buying Vanilla Beans

I bought mine at Costco, in a two-pack test tube, and each tube had maybe 5 beans? I don't remember what I paid, but they are still so soft. I'm amazed (and a little suspicious). The ones I bought from Spice House got hard and dried out quickly.

Good (healthy and/or vegetarian) eats in Chicago

Another vote for Amitabul, and I LOVE Chicago Diner. Great sandwiches and desserts, great atmosphere. Blind Faith Cafe in Evanston is another gem. My family has been going there since the 70s.
KarynMC, can you eat at Chicago Soy Dairy? Can you buy their food directly from the factory? Where is it?
