Follow-Up to the Food Poll

[gnomi]

Thanks to all who have responded to my poll. All of the voting and the commenting is very much appreciated.

For those who responded "What is this 'gefilte fish' thing of which you speak," an explanation is here. I like it with white horseradish (preferably my Ima's home-made stuff that'll clear your sinuses out from across the kitchen); my Abba has become enamored of it with wasabi or salsa, as well.

For those who wish for me to share recipes, do you have recipes in mind (from things I've posted in the past)? Or should I just start sharing my menus and recipes as of this Shabbat's meals?

Please share current recipes, but please also share past recipes that you've loved, if you'd be so kind. I'll share some with you after I do some more research into kosher foods and cooking. I mean, no point in me giving you a fantastic recipe if it's not something you can make!

I need a food icon. Must get one. MUST.

I never turn down offers of new recipes (and I can kosherize almost any recipe, given enough time). So, thank you.

I'll post both current and past recipes. I love sharing recipes with friends.

I, too, need a food-related icon. I keep thinking I know what I want and then deciding that I'm wrong and I want something else.

Speaking of kosher recipes, I don't remember if I've given you this one, but it bears repeating:

Almond Pesach Macaroons

1 cup almond butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
dash vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a cookie sheet or two. Roll small (tablespoon-sized, maybe a little larger) balls of dough and space them evenly on the sheet. Press one whole (except the shell) almond on each ball and push gently to flatten it. Bake about 12 min. Makes, oh, I dunno, three dozen?

For the rest of the year, you can substitute peanut butter if you wish: just use a fork instead of whole almonds to flatten the cookies. Yes, no, I have not made a mistake: this cookie recipe has no flour.

Oh, yum. I'll have to make those for my mom, who is wheat-intolerant. Thanks for the recipe!

"Abba has become enamored of it with wasabi or salsa"

Salsa? Salsa?!?!?

As for recipes, how about an easy recipe for Chinese Hot & Sour Soup? I've got a recipe but it requires so many exotic ingredients which I don't know where to find kosher versions of.

Gefilte fish logs unwrapped, topped with salsa, and baked are pretty yum.

(I tend to hot&sour-ize chicken soup by adding vinegar and ginger, maybe some other spicy things as the mood strikes. YMMV, of course.)

I have a recipe for Hot & Sour soup, but I have to check how complicated it is (I've never made it).

For those of us who know what gefilte fish is, do you mke yours fresh, use a prepackaged kit or buy it frozen? And if one of the latter two, can you recommend a brand?

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I buy the frozen fish loaf. My favorite brand is the Noam Gourmet. I make it either by boiling or baking, and the Noam Gourmet has always come out well with eithe method.
