btw I make these every week and they come out delicious. I've never had them fall apart or burn. Here's the recipe:
Fry 1 med. onion. Remove from pan and add breadcrumbs, flour, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp salt, and the oil that you used to fry the onion with. Mix everything. You might have to add more oil depending on how much oil you used to fry the onion (can add water instead). Sorry I don't have the exact measurements for the breadcrumbs or flour. I think it's about 1/4 cup breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup flour. If the mixture is too dry add more oil or water. Form into balls and stick it in the cholent.

We like it Smile

another tip: I save empty pickle containers, matzo meal and bread crumb containers etc. and use them for liquid garbage that I don't want to pour down my sink or toilet.

haven't you noticed, when you peel zucchini that under the peel it's slimy, and it gets into your fingers unless you wash it off?

Hey, Motek, 3 years later, I've noticed! Smile

I used to peel off way more than necessary embarrassed

which is why I didn't know what you were talking about.

Believe me. My sister refuses to let me live that one down. Very Happy

Ive put cinamon in butternut squash-apple soup it was really good I found a recipe for it online.

I ALWAYS experement in the kitchen. I am not scared of making mistakes and after a while you get a feel of what goes and what doesn't.

I experiment a lot in the kitchen but can't always repeat them since I really make it up as I go along.

BTW, the secret to making your own matzoh meal is to grind it twice. No matter how finely you think you ground it the first time it gets much finer the second time around.

Mother's milk does not go well with coffee (I was desperate). It's too fatty, and it's not homogenized, so it just separates in the coffee, and you get oil circles on top.

Isn't mother's milk treif?

That is what my dh said...the rov said otherwise.

One can not drink it direct from the mother, but can taste it if it is expressed.
Same goes for a child who has been weaned. He may not go back to nursing but may drink it from a cup.

Crayon, if you want a source, let me know. Will get it for you! (just in preparation! Wink

Anybody heard of peeling garlic only nwith aplastic knife?? Is it a yiddish minhag.???

I know this is an old thread...but yes. We do that also. The knife need just can't be metal. I am not sure if this is for scientific/kabbalistic reasons. We learned it from good friends who are chassidish and always eat a clove of raw garlic by melave malkah. I usually just peel it with my fingers. It's brought down somewhere... Wink
