Hmm Cholent....

Stew/Soup Season is here! I just wish I had the kind of kitchen where I could leave my crockpot out all the time. (ohh man..so want my mom's split pea soup with flanken, like, right NOW).

Oh yea! Forgot to mention - get some sturdy port or baby bella mushrooms for your cholent!

Two inches of snow might qualify as a minor annoyance if I had needed to go anywhere today, but I'm not even sure it rises to that standard. If I'd realized before it was too late that it was warm enough for the snow to slushify, I might have tried a snow-midget army, but that ship has sailed down here.

Mmmmm kidney beans. I am notorious for putting kidney beans in many many soups. I like how they hold their shape and do not get super mushy. I haven't added them to pareve cholent yet......(see brain cells warming up)

Onions and garlic, of course. Butternut squash and sage might also be tasty. And have you considered Imagine Organics' No-Chicken Broth?

two inches of snow is enough for a very tiny snowman army.... but also maybe enough for barbie dolls (or the equivalent, if one lives in a barbie-free household) to make snow angels.

Rose Window. This pattern is crochet but surely adaptable.

Onions, garlic, carrots and/or sweet potatoes and/or winter squash.

I am working out a vegan stew which would involve barley, portabello mushrooms (possibly dried), pre-carmelized onions and the oil in which they are carmelized, beer or dry red wine and parve beef-flavored boullion, bay leaf and other herbs, so that is what I would suggest, but that is me using you as a guinea pig because I haven't actually made it myself yet.

I feel that this recipe is missing something (besides, you know, meat) but I'm not sure what yet. Tomatoes? Chickpeas? Garlic? The idea is to create a thick, wintery, bread bowl-suitable Thing for eating when it's wet outside and you're watching/reading Vaguely Medieval Adventure Stories.

I like the tomato idea. Probably not really in keeping with cholent, but who cares.

As far as I can tell, if it can cook for 16 hours and still be food at the end of it, it's cholent. :)

I thinking tomatoes and some lemon juice, because the barley is making me think of osso bucco. Chickpeas and garlic are also good.

In my head, the one ingredient that cholent *has* to have is chickpeas.

Make a pair of blankets/superhero capes with attached hoods in the shape of animal heads! For instance, a superfrog and a superduck!

Don't know about cholent, but if you add onions, garlic, carrots, fire roasted diced tomatoes (found a can of these at Wal-Mart the other day...yummy), some tomato juice, bag of frozen mixed vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, parsley (or dried parsley flakes), salt and pepper to potatoes, barley, and vegetable sausages, you will have one heck of a good soup that you can eat with a good bread or just crackers.

Onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, and carrots come immediately to mind.

Reading other comments, I also agree with winter squashes.

The snow was a minor annoyance till I got into Medford and found nothing plowed and took 45 minutes to go three miles, fishtailing every time I had to make a turn.

I found that tomatoes pretty much ruin cholent. :( Lentils work, and putting in-shell raw eggs in so that they can hard-boil while the cholent is working is always tasty. :)

Carrots, winter squash, and sweet potatoes. Flavored with a touch of orange juice and honey.

the snow - depends on the city. In Boston, Denver, or anywhere else that actually is not a small town, it's a minor annoyance. In Pierre, South Dakota, it means icy roads for DAYS.

Ah, I don't know the answer to the first, and the second doesn't have an option for "we don't even notice two inches of snow unless it arrives on top of ten more inches of snow!"

(quartered) Onions, raw garlic, rice, and substitute sweet potatoes for rice. I would add a dash of hot sauce, but that's personal taste.

The cholent should have chick peas, split peas, onions, carrots and possibly parsnips added. And if you are really feeling bounteous, make kneidlach for it (egg, water, oil, matzoh meal), which will develop a wonderful flavor and texture as it cooks in the cholent for hours.
