    I read somewhere that you can use honey as a substitute for molasses. but i have never done so yet so i cannot vouch for its success rating

    thank you jaymatt for the mushroom rice. Sounds easy and delicous.

    #641531

    oomis, not everyone has to (or does) eat everything! we just have to have a variety and nice spread!

    any ideas for nice and easy desserts? i like making pretty and good tasting but not complicated and patchked up! like this week i made choc chip pie (hot, like runny chip) with ice cream … any other ideas?

    I made sweet and sour salmon last week. I love doing it because it lasts in the fridge so I make enough for 2 (or even 3) weeks and then I don’t have to woory about fish for a while. BTW if anyone is interested my recipe can be made with Splenda. If you want the recipe (really easy) speak up.

    ames – that’s a trap isn’t it? You want me to give over personal info and get fired from my new moderator job so you can apply to be my replacement, right? j/k.

    #641537

    ames – sounds good! theres no vienesse crunch or a/t involved?

    the 2nd layer of lady fingers u dip in coffee too or no?

    and also, where do u buy lady fingers when its not pesach??!?

    keepinentertained- the ones on Pesach are called Baby Fingers and they are NOT the same. One of the kosher companies imports Lady Fingers from France. These are crunchy and yummy on their own with a coating of sugar on top. They are so unlike the Passover Baby Fingers. My local grocery store has them in a blue plastic bag in the cookie section. I also make Tiramisu. You can also use sponge cake dunked in the coffee. I add a little vanilla instant pudding to the whipped cream while I am whipping it. I also add powdered instant ground coffee on top of the final layer of whipped cream to decorate it, or as you suggested, crushed Vienesse Crunch would sound good on top.

    cherrybim (& anyone else who’s interested):

    Slice 1 or 2 onions into rings. Separate rings in the bottom of a large pot (I usually use a 6qt farberware -for 10 to 20 pieces- but last time I tried it in my large fry pan-3in sides & it was great) pour in sugar (or splenda) until the onion is mostly covered (my mother always says it should look like snow covered mountains).Heat on low/med flame until the sugar melts and the onions are soft and translucent (if you are using splenda it will not really melt it just gets stickyish and the onions will not get as soft- that’s fine just continue with the rest). Add 2-3 bay leaves & about 1 tablespoon of whole peppercorns. Add water and white vinegar in a ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part vinegar so that you will have enough to cover your fish. Cook till heated through. Add fish-you can use whitefish slices or salmon steaks but my favorite is 1inch pieces of salmon fillet (with or without skin). Simmer (covered or partially covered, if you can) on low flame until fish is cooked through, try to avoid mixing, as that will cause the fish to break. Cool slightly in the pot (the longer it cools at this point, the less likely it is to break when you put it into a container. Carefully transfer fish to container with onions and spices, cover with liquid and refrigerate.

    Moish01: the vinegar and spices are essentially pickling the fish which prevents spoiling for much longer periods of time. Trust me, I’m pretty neurotic about spoiled food!

    Are you kidding? I thought that baby fingers was because it is not tznius to think about “lady fingers”. You’re telling me that they are two distinct items?

    Cherrybim:

    • It usually needs about 20 min.
    • The bay leaves & peppercorns give the best taste, I did know someone who used pickling spices instead, I didn’t particularly like the taste, but some people did (feel free to try it & let me know what you think).

    Hatzlacha & B’taovon!

    Hamud is a lemony broth with veggies and little meatballs served over rice. My family doesn’t like it, so I don’t make it.

    This week I am making Mushroom Chicken, Baby Okra(Bamia) in Tomato sauce, Rosemary and garlic red potatoes, and Onion Mechse(go back in thread for the receipe and description), Gefilte fish, Rice and Vegatrian chulent, and either a vegetable or chicken soup, depends on my mood tommorow.

    The mushroom chicken is basically a sauce I make and pour over the chicken. I saute one diced onion in a little oil. Then add 10 mushrooms cut up into various slices and chunks. I add 1 teaspoon of deli mustard, and some white cooking wine, and black pepper. I cook that mixture for about 10 minutes & I add a little water to the mix and pour it over the chicken. Sometimes, I like to tuck in some of the mushroom sauce underneath the skins. I bake it covered with foil for an hour and remove the cover for 30 minutes. I check to make sure that there is sufficent liquid in the baking dish, so the chicken doesn’t dry out.

    Ah Ha!! I should have realized that that menu could not possibly be made by one person!! So there are 3 people cooking.

    Sorry, my kitchen is tiny. NO ONE else is allowed in the kitchen when I am cooking or I start to get nervous.

    I always make a different menu each Shabbat. I’ll make a soup, and/or a fish, depending on my mood and how much time I got. I’ll make a chicken soup or I have a really great receipe for a black bean and pumpkin soup, it’s so easy, all the ingredients are from a can and it’s really good. Even though we are sephardi, we do eat gefilte fish, It’s just so easy to boil the frozen ones in the pot, although, this past Shabbat, one of my children got upset and wanted me to make my saucy fish that I hadn’t made in a while. He doesn’t like gefilte fish too much, but he suprised me when he said he would take one slice. I always have a meat, either Roast, Chicken, or Turkey. Some type of potatoes, Red, Reg, Sweet Potato, Potato Kugel. then some kind of Mechse, (I gave descriptions on some earlier posts) & I usually have some beans like, string beans, peas. or I’ll make okra in a tomato sauce.

    And as far as the “Ya’ll” goes, My husband was born in the south. He always says “You can take the boy out of the South, but you can’t take the South out of the boy!!”

    #641566

    lol, yea it takes more than one person…although, i hope one day soon to be cookin all alone in my own kitchen (youll prob realize the down size in my menu then lol!) but for now, togetha with my mom and sis we make a big spread. what else can you do when you have guests every meal?!

    and trust me, even not in a teeny kitchen i get nervous in there too sometimes bec i like when things are done my way which doesnt always happen! and i like when e/t is done in a seder (for ex: use the suguar – put it away; finished with a spoon – wash it…)whereas my mom and sis are more of the cook e/t and then clean e/t type (and the cleaning lady is always comin in the mornin!) but you get used to it!

    and yea, we have a standard menu with some variation but like you said its alwasy a starter, soup, main (meat, chicken and sides) and dessert but alwasy open to new ideas for variations within!

    what types of potatoes? i like simple and tasty recipies the best!!

    and re the ya’ll: wasnt born in the south but still always say it!

    🙂
