Rugelah! mm!<br />I used to be very energetic about cooking--my husband (then boyfriend) and I travelled around Cleveland looking for nigella seeds for some elaborate Indian recipe (a southern dish--with chicken and about a thousand spices), and when we finally found the unsigned Indian spice shop, women in saris looked up from taking cardamom from the pods and looked at us (we aren't Indian) like we were visitors from a strange place (we were: Oberlin).<br />The chicken was amazing!<br />I'm so glad I've found your blog!<br />ggross(at)optonline(dot)netGwendolen Grosshttp://gwendolengross.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555192333772926252.post-14818277503743736242009-12-13T17:58:25.501-05:002009-12-13T17:58:25.501-05:00Two years ago, my refrigerator died on Thanksgivin...Two years ago, my refrigerator died on Thanksgiving day. Luckily, I live in Minnesota, where it is cold. We put everything for the meal outside and hoped for the best. Luckily, we were able to eat and no one got sick. <br /><br />SarahSarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555192333772926252.post-14206898033754137772009-12-13T10:25:19.479-05:002009-12-13T10:25:19.479-05:00My favorite disastrous cooking event is when I fir...My favorite disastrous cooking event is when I first started dating my husband. We decided to make dinner together, chicken breasts and I think stuffing from a box (this was college). I say that my husband put the pan of oil on the stove and turned it to high, he says I turned the heat to high. Either way when we put in the first chicken breast oil starting sputtering and then the chicken caught fire. I was so surprised I just stood there. Luckily my husband had the good sense to take the pan off the burner and the chicken stopped being on fire.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18200107893454331954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555192333772926252.post-55438862100998118802009-12-13T01:39:23.347-05:002009-12-13T01:39:23.347-05:00im not here to join the giveaway

A few years ago, my honey & I wanted to make doughnuts for my family's Channukah gathering. It was our first time making doughnuts, and we read a number of recipes, and settled on one that didn't require making a yeast dough. We made pretty small dough balls & dropped them in our pot of oil. They looked beautiful & golden, & we served them with powdered sugar. <br />Then we bit into one & found that they were still raw on the inside! Liquid even. It was sort of like a jelly doughnut... The outside bits were tasty anyway :-)Rahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346714348062913911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555192333772926252.post-69800850189656678122009-12-12T21:06:04.592-05:002009-12-12T21:06:04.592-05:00It sounds so good...I would like to try out some o...It sounds so good...I would like to try out some of these recipes (but my husband is a very picky eater) Last year I had a bad experience baking Chocolate Mint Snaps. I was at my parents house and went to grab the flour but by mistake I got the powdered sugar instead. (I didn't even think about checking it or anything) I there for made the cookies it looked a little bit differently but I still baked them and they didn't rise...they were FLAT snaps. (still tasted good) But NOW I always check the flour and make sure it's flour!Katrina @ Pics, Pages & Purlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245863945689175120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555192333772926252.post-41505940293008315042009-12-12T20:08:51.443-05:002009-12-12T20:08:51.443-05:00You leave my mouth watering. :) Last year on Chris...You leave my mouth watering. :) Last year on Christmas day, I met my boyfriends' family for the first time. I brought with me my favorite holiday-only dish, a Finnish mushroom pie from a great vegetarian cookbook, "Sundays at Moosewood." It's a pie I've made four or five times quite successfully, but the added pressure of presenting it to new people was daunting.<br /><br />I prepared it the night before, and must have added too much cream cheese to the crust... it was quite soft. I saved the baking for his mother's kitchen, wanting it be hot and fresh and yummy. The crust... melted. It utterly dissolved, covering the heating elements in the oven and filling the kitchen with smoke.<br /><br />Quite a first impression. :-\Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857492090937332126noreply@blogger.com
