The husband doesn't like the whole blech thing and I must have hot food on Shabbos. I just don't feel Shabbosy without hot food. Truth is, I would discard the crockpot and cholent in a heartbeat in favor of piping hot kugel on a blech plus chicken and other sides (again, hotter than when perched atop the crockpot lid), but alas...

Didn't have time for food, but had a cappucino and an overpriced round, little thingamajig. I wish the thingamajig had been dairy and/or tastier. It was just ok and quite expensive. Cappucino was good, but absolutely too small a glass (never have seen it in such a small glass) and by the time I got it to the table, it was a quarter of the way deflated (yes, i know it is supposed to deflate). I will give them a high mark for ambience. I did feel like I was in Manhattan and I did enjoy sitting on the leather couch in the alcove, but the plastic chairs looked uncomfortable. I will try the food sometime soon and post.

We were in Nanet today and they were out of the ground beef and chicken cutlets. As for the Meal Mart cold cuts, they are terrible. We bought them when they first started carrying them. They had no flavor, awful texture, and both the corned beef and pastrami had thick areas of cartilage-like fat running through the middle (conveniently covered up by the label). Maybe this is what passes for good glatt kosher cold cuts? I see they have turkey now but I am afraid to try it.They had been carrying Best Kosher corned beef and pastrami in 1.5 pound packages (2 indvidual vacuum packed 3/4 pound packs in a box) and they were really excellent quality. The Meal Mart stuffed cabbage is good.

They look like Terry's chocolate oranges (from wikipedia "It is a ball of chocolate mixed with orange oil, divided into 20 "segments", similar to a real orange, and wrapped in orange-colored foil. As the segments, when packaged, are stuck together firmly, the traditional method of getting ready to eat them is: prior to unwrapping the ball, to tap it severely on a hard surface to cause the segments to separate from each other.")

The entire front page was the ad for The Sands of Atlantic Beach and catering by Michael Schick $49/pp including full hot and cold smorgasbord and three course dinner. Did anyone inquire about this offer? This is one powerfull combo. As one that has two daughter's in the parsha, it would be an excellent option to keep in my back pocket. The ad, at the end, also mentions that affordable flowers, music and photography are also available. I did call them up today and they said they will email me the particulars so we will see.

I mean, there may be really great reasons why this isn't acceptable, but in this day and age of subcontracting, it's hard to see distance as one.

That said, it sounds like you make this kugel often, so when you get to the stage where there's a big mound of grated potatoes, see if it seems like the mound is the same size as usual, or bigger/smaller, and adjust as necessary.

It says 183mg for the 1/2 bowl serving, making the whole bowl (likely what one will eat) a total of 366mg. However, I am very suspicious of the accuracy of that, because the same package claims to have 11 grams of fiber per serving, 22 grams for the whole bowl. I cannot imagine where those fiber grams could possibly come from. The noodles are not whole grain, and the veggies are a tiny packet weighing no more than a few grams; they don't even weigh 22 grams, let alone have that much fiber. I don't have any other packages right now, but I seem to recall the fiber being listed as far lower on one of the other flavors. TV news stories have often questioned the validity of the nutrition facts on many products. I think I once heard a statistic that labels were wrong at least 10% of the time. Sometimes this is easy to check, by multiplying the grams of fat, carbs, and protein by the standard number of calories per gram for each of these (4 for carbs and protein, 9 for fat). But for sodium, there is no easy cross-check.

This is an important development, I thought. When I got there, all it contained was half a fridge with some Hebrew National salami alongside lox and another kind of fish (I cannot recall what) with hechshers. Same corporate-packaged stuff they have always had, absolutely nothing new. The other half of the fridge was pure treif, including pork sausages. I wouldn't go so far as to call it false advertising. Let's just say I didn't appreciate the gesture. [BTW, as I've noted in other posts and for whatever it's worth, I've always found that Van Nuys branch to be the most consistently problematic Costco in the entire Los Angeles area.] Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:34:19 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/667999#5191768 http://www.chow.com/topics/667987#5190820 Cherry Hill, NJ No Kosher places in Delaware. There are also the restaurants in Philly, but if you are meeting someone between Pikesville and Highland Park, Cherry Hill is an easier on/off for the Turnpike.

The decor was pleasant and the waitresses were really very attentive and accommodating. We ordered a shwarma plate with 2 sides, a house kebab with 2 sides, a soup, a kids meal and soft drinks and our bill was about $53 plus tips. The food was delicious - we were very happy. The location is very convenient. The parking lot in front was packed, but we easily found parking just a little east of the restaurant on Howard street. The only thing I noticed that might not be obvious is that you cannot (at least that's what we were told) order certain less expensive items unless you are sitting at the bar. For example we asked re ordering a shwarma in a pita and that's what we were told. Also, they make their own lafah, which is AMAZING:) Enjoy!

Darjeeling is fabulous. We were convinced Indian food was awful until we went here. One problem; it is about a ten minute walk from the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. But if you are there, make it a stop on your itinerary. There are other great places to eat too, once you figure out which hashgachas are reliable. ( I guess I really didn't answer your question.) http://www.darjeeling-ontable.com/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:23:46 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/395490#5187484 http://www.chow.com/topics/666149#5187459 Thanks for all the insights. Decided to test Coffee Bean since we didnt have enough time to make the trek to Panini (which we did go to for breakfast on friday and was delicious) on saturday night. Unfortunately all that was left was egg salad sandwhiches and a veggie bean burritto, not exactly what we were looking for, but we made do.

Mix it with nut or truffle oil to make a sublime vinaigrette.

We stayed in a condo and I kashered a couple of the stainless steel pots and some cutlery. There is an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables and there was Empire chicken available. I barbequed a few times. Fish is also abundant. I also went to a couple of restaurants and asked them to please cook a piece of fish in foil for me and all the restaurants obliged and happily gave it to me in a takeout container with plastic , but I know there are kosher people who would not consider this suitable.
