Toshikoshi Soba
That is soba noodle soup and it was very tasty! Along with the soba noodles is a few shitake mushrooms, a little spinich, green onion, kamaboka (fish cake) and that egg. Since it was a full moon I went with trying to cook the egg in the soup again. It may not look it but it was well cooked. Definitely something I will make again at the end of the year. Toshikoshi Soba is popular to eat on the last day of the year. It is said the long noodles represent longevity.


I like to make home baked challah for Erev Shabbat whenever feasible. The use of a bread machine for creating the dough has been a tremendous boon in this, because it means that once I get the ingredients in and the doughball to the right consistency, I can pay attention to other things. This recipe has been working pretty well for me, though I find the crumb can be a bit dry the day after it comes out of the oven. I wonder if more oil can fix that. Advice would be appreciated.




We all devoured the cake after a dinner of indulgent pizza, and everyone agreed it was one of the best chocolate cakes ever, but only very light on the root beer flavor. Yet the cake is so moist and tender and the frosting is beyond to-die-for. So I still highly recommend this cake, but if you really want the root beer to sing, adding a teaspoon of root beer extract or even a splash of root beer schnapps definitely wouldn’t hurt. (And come on, when does adding schnapps to anything hurt?)

I was at a party over the holidays and someone brought the most delicious cake which I have since been looking for everything without any success. It was a Frozen Lemon Meringue Cake. Apparently it was meringue baked in circles and then layered with lemon filling and topped with graham crackers I think and of course frozen until served. That’s all I could really get of it and I want the recipe so badly, my friend's birthday is coming up and he loves lemon and this cake was so lemony is was wonderful. If anyone knows of the cake/recipe I'm talking about I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

I just bought a 4 pack of flavored olive oil
gralic
lemon
basil
hot pepper
but they were victim of their cutness coming in 60 mil little bottle. The truth is I dont have any idea to use them any help
note: I'm a vegetarian, no poultry, no fish except for those fish crips from High liner ;)
THANKS
I have been trying to come close to my Nana's shortbread for a few years - it was magically melty and somehow she managed never to let it brown. My mom got her hands on an old collection of recipes from the olden days. It is a thick wad of loose pages clipped together and well-thumbed by many ladies. It has a bunch of shortbread recipes, all with the names of the women who made them famous attached. I have been working my way through them each Christmas.
This year, while I don't think I have exactly replicated Nana's recipe, I found one that I think I am happy with - it has a good balance of flakiness and firmness and I managed to bake them at a low enough temperature that none of them got the least bit brown. Also nobody in my family seemed to be able to stop eating them - I ended up making three batches in a week!
