Bowties for kasha varnishes

Wide egg noodles for sweet luction kugel

Music to keep you moving at 2120

Three large onions for kasha varnishkes and chicken pâté

Half the onions reserved for the kasha

Then goes in cleaned chicken livers for sautéing.

Add some S&P and slightly brown

Once browned, then add some water for a simmer

View attachment 79021

Simmer and reduce the liquid to concentrate the flavors, taste and adjust with S&P and then break the livers with a wooden spoon

Once the livers are tender and break with low effort, a little more simmer to thicken up the mixture. Then let rest and cook for 10 minutes before running it all through the food processor.

Run and done. All smooth and seasoning is balanced. To the fridge to set overnight. Will add chopped HB eggs before serving on Friday.

You can’t knock it until you try it. It’s rich, creamy and smooth.

Off to bed. Full day tomorrow and shopping in the AM for fill ins so I can run the distance here.

A truly epic cook in the making. You’re going to need a week off after this weekend

Brett-EDH · Sep 14, 2023

Final parts done for today.

Beets are cooked and cut

Brisket is trimmed and salted and in the fridge. Took 2# meat trim off and 2# fat. Cook weight is 14#

Matbucha is stick blended. And cooling before the fridge.

In N Out for dinner. I’m done. Toasted and spent.

The brisket will go on by 0700, I hope.

Round Challahs (4 total, 2 apple and 2 raisin) - mix dough, fridge/prep Thrs night.... I have never had or imagined an apple challah. Sounds fantastic.

You are an amazing person, 51 boiled eggs! I make 6 at a time for breakfast with toast for the week. Any of your individual cooks would have me over the edge. I have cooked for 6-10 people and I am maxed out. You must love your family and friends. I love my family and friends but at a certain point it better be a potluck.

I was going to prep the apple tonight but got exhausted. Granny Smiths, diced and pan sautéed with a pinch of sugar, cinnamon and butter. Barely cook them and then cool the mixture. Then fold into the dough. Comes out pretty good.

Apple Honey Challah

Fluffy sweet round honey challah stuffed with apples for Rosh Hashanah. Recipe with easy braiding instructions and diagram for a beautiful round challah.

You do it enough times, you learn how to push through each cook. I enjoy having a full table.

This is the last Jewish New Year in this house. So it’s kinda bitter sweet. Next year in a new home. If it all works out.
