    I’m wondering what your typical menu is and maybe something interesting will catch my eye and we will see if we can get the powers that be to add it to the menu 🙂

    This should be fun.

    Homemade challah. Bunch of dips: tomato dip, babaganoush, hummus with something in it like garlic or pine nuts, techina, chrein triple strength, olive dip or dill dip. Usually cooked white fish and gefilta fish, sometimes sesame teriyaki broiled salmon, baked white fish in tomato sauce with veggies. Chicken soup with noodles, kneidels, lima beans. Main dish may be chicken from the chulent, roast chicken, flanken. Side sometimes potato kugel and lokshen kugel. Sometimes a baked 24 potato casserole called yaptzik, it has flanken meat in it. dessert can be compote with sorbet, or just sorbet and parave ice cream.

    We vary a lot. But the main thing visitors to our home will note is that we do a lot of Indian dishes. Indian dal (lentil stew) preserves very well over Shabat on a pot on the blech. Much tastier and healthier than traditional cholent. And this week is a very good week to serve masoor dal (red lentils) ;).

    a ham and cheese sandwich is great, especially on shabbos.

    think about it if the ham is not real and neither is the cheese, I’m left with 2 pieces of challa 🙂

    For the most part, our menu is identical to what’s been listed so far, with one exception: our liver is sauteed in onions, with sugar and paparika.

    My son “discovered” this dish at a simcha a while ago, and has taken charge of this item ever since

    I’d imagine just enough to caramelize it.

    Its not an exact science, but essentially, you dice one huge onion, sautee in oil, until its collapsed, add 1 lb of broiled chicken liver, cut up into pieces the size of a grape, add sugar and paprika to taste (there’s probably a touch of salt and pepper as well, but I’m not sure).

    Best bet? Buy a small container from a take-out place, so you know what to aim for. Or stop by, if you’re in the area!

    Does anybody make gefilte fish from scratch anymore? We tried it once and it did not turn out well (it had bad flavor). What spice should we try?

    I have eaten gefilte fish made from scratch three times. It was one shabbos in Bnei Brak, and they were made by two different people.

    Both were absolutely horrible. By sholeshudes, we were dreading having to eat it again. One had a slightly more manageable taste, but that factor was overshadowed by the bones which were ground in.

    I would not put it in favorite sandwich.

    I would not make it my favorite dish at any restaurant.

    I would use it as an incentive to stop smoking.

    I would burn it on Chanuka or any other time.

    I think boys should look for a girl who will not make it.

    I think learning to not make it should be part of any course of over-education.

    I think there should be a notation under everyone’s name whether they would eat it.

    Eating it was not the craziest thing that ever happened to me.

    Commenting on it could have led to a “most embarrassing moment”.

    I would vote for “stateSenator” if he will agree to ban it.

    They do not serve it at Shnitzi.

    The girls out of school in Monsey should not make it in their spare time. (Sorry, no offense meant; I do sympathize with you.)

    It is not a segula. (Definitely not a literal segula)

    I hope they do not teach it in any Seminary.

    I only serve homemade gefilte fish and everybody (including me)loves it. I have been using the same recipe for years. We only have been able to buy the frozen logs/loaves here for about 5 years and nobody I know likes the bottled or canned fish, so 99 percent of the people I know make their own (or buy it from a caterer – very costly here). It certainly isn’t difficult to make.

    Wisewoman,

    My rebbitzen makes different kinds of chicken:

    Garlic Chicken

    Breadcrumb Chicken

    Sweet and Sour

    Chicken Kiev

    Mushroom Chicken

    Cranberry Chicken

    Take your pick. If I wouldn’t have to go to work on Friday, I would probably do more of the cooking. Right now, I only make the turkey salad, and sometimes the cholent.

    Lately my wife buys the gefilta fish rolls from Freunds Fish, their “simcha” rolls. But making gefilta fish from scratch is somewhat of a patchke but I can’t imagine it not being good, unless the maker chaets on ingredients or is just a plain lousy cook altogether. Truth is that there are many commercial frozen logs that are really good. Just try them until you find one you like. Also when the frozen logs are cooked, they taste best if cooked with whole white fish too. And they should only be cooked the same way. If you just take the frozen log and cook it in water, it’ll taste lousy whatever. Like I said, ya gotta know how to cook.

    Friday night is usually home made challah, soup (chicken/matza ball, or carrot cumin, or some kind of squash soup), chicken (roasted, or plum, or coffee, or another kind), salad, a green vegetable, rice/orzo, and chocolate chip cookies and whatever else my wife has made for dessert.

    Lunch is sometimes fleishig with some kind of chicken schnitzle, or sometimes milchig with a terrific salmon and proper accompaniments, including ice cream for dessert. One of my kids is vegetarian, so it’s actually easier if we all eat milchigs. I don’t mind either way, as the food is delicious either way.

    There’s also an awesome dessert called sof haderech. Basically, you melt 250 gr of bittersweet chocolate with 4 TBL peanut butter and 1 rich’s whip (not whipped), when smooth put in freezer. It’s really, really good! (Sof Haderech is Israeli teenage slang for awesome.)

    WiseWOman: I like the one from the “Bride who knew nothing ” cookbook. I’ll try to pass it over by heart: Chicken pieces, fresh mushrooms, baby onions (or cut up larger ones) in a pan. sprinkle with salt and pepper. pour on 2/3 cup of dry red wine. sprinkle with fresh (or dried – but better fresh) parsley and thyme (I don’t like thyme, so I use basil). melt 2/3 cup (? sounds like too much – not remembering…) margarine and pour over everything. Stick in 2 bay leaves (I don’t) bake uncovered 1.25 hours. Yum.

    #933590

    personally i never use basil

    it always gives what to me is a somewhat unpleasant licorice like flavor

    i find oregano is a very nice substitute for basil.

    Do you use the stem?

    I find that if you just use the leaf it has a more mild flavor.

    #933592

    stem?

    i just use whatever ground up stuff comes in the bottle

    not much of a gourmet i guess

    Delicious and easiest chicken is cooked in an oven bag. (Not so easy to come by..) You put the chicken in the bag with some spices and some potatoes (optional) and some onion (usually left over from the “Eiyer Mit Zvibbel” and Cucumber Salad I make!)

    No messy clean up either.. My mother used to add the juice into the chicken soup.. Delicious flavor made the soup rich .. and oily..

    That’s because you’ve never had deep fried gefilte fish in beer batter.
