Cocktail 101: How to Make Brandied Cherries

I had brandied cherries just last weekend during lunch at Otto in NYC, and honestly I have been obsessed with them ever since. This recipe is a direct answer to my prayers!

I wish there was someone else who remembered the homemade Almond Butter Crunch from the late, lamented Huntley Farms in Eastchester, NY.

On top of ol' bagel....

Must be a NY bagel - none of this grocery store nonsense - lightly toasted, melted american cheese, crispy bacon. Heaven.

I think by this point I am fourthing or fifthing the recommendation for Margherita's in Newark on Main Street. I'm a native NYer and this was the closest to home we could find.

L'Shana Tova u'Metuka! We're making chicken matzo ball soup, roast chicken (Barefoot Contessa recipe), potato kugel, green beans, challah, and apple cake. Nothing too adventurous, all totally delicious.

Five Things to Do with an Entenmann's All Butter Loaf Cake

Such memories - when I was a kid, in the mornings before school, my dad used to toast a couple of slices, butter it lightly, and serve it to us for breakfast. Most delicious breakfast, ever.

Dear Whole Foods,

Please don't charge me $8 for four small chicken tenders, ever again. Otherwise the kid gets McNuggets. I'm serious.

Yakisoba?

I love ramen (guilty pleasure) so I tried one recently. Saying that it was not a good experience would be something of an understatement. Think of it as the Clockwork Orange of instant meals. You may be irrevocably altered, and not in a good way.

Passover Puff Pastry?

@morgancain: yes I know that puff pastry contains no yeast, but it does puff - and therefore violates the spirit, if not the letter, of Passover. :)

From Talk

Passover Puff Pastry?

I'd say that puff pastry's very name would render it non kosher for passover because it contains leavening.

I tend to substitute macaroons for any item with crust - just crush them in the bottom of a tart pan and they tend to bind together. Not sure how well that would work with a tarte tatin, but it works really well for a cheesecake or custard-type filling.

Passover Menu for the week

I'll be doing a lot of salads: tuna, chicken, egg, etc. Some eaten on matzo, some not. I also like using this week to make soup - vegetable, matzo ball - all good and filling, so I don't even miss the bread. One caveat, however, is that since I keep Pesach according to the Sephardim, I still eat rice, which helps a lot!

What is your "give up" meal?

toast with melted cheese
frozen tortellini or pasta cooked in broth
tuna salad sammich

sadly, this post has made me realize that I give up fairly frequently.

Serious Passover Eats

@MMinNYC - thank you so much for the wonderful resources.

Let the official pre-Pesach panic begin!
