Bored at Work, please ask your doc if it’s okay to eat salmon every day. It has high levals of mercury which can be dangerous!
heiligeh Monsey!
I looked in the store for cranberry jelly and did not find, so I asked the person who gave me the recipe and she said cherry is fine.
OMG, seems like I am the old granny around here….
Supper is burned because you were too busy posting recipes.
The honey nut crusted chicken recipe calls for cranberry JELLY, smart cookie. I used cherry jelly and it was fine. and you are right, six minutes is not long enough, maybe 20 minutes? my family liked this and I didn’t have to bother frying.
Try honey nut crusted chicken-
Chicken cutlets, preferably thin
1/4 C teriyaki sauce, plus more for brushing
2 Tbs cranberry/red-currant jelly
honey-glazed almonds
salt and pepper
Crush honey-glazed almonds, by hand or in blender. Add the 1/4 C teriyaki sauce and cranberry jelly. Mix or blend.
Salt and pepper both sides of cutlet. Brush with a bit of teriyaki sauce. Press the sauce-nut mixture onto the top of each cutlet, and bake at 350 for 6 minutes.
Do NOT overbake.
It’s really awesome.
SJSinNYC- I agree with you about the organic milk! I really wish the CY companies made organic milk, my hubby does not want me buying the chalov stom organic milk, but it is so important. I read a whole thing about what is important to eat organic and what isn’t so crucial, but dairy products are really important.
Men are known to speed, ladies are more careful and cautious when they drive. You guys should slow down, or you will get a ticket.
havesomeseichel, the bochurim in Israel who are eating out are undoubtably using their parents money and not their own. So says the vieber over here who are very frustrated at the lack of food at their son’s yeshivos in Israel, hence the big credit card bill!
oomis1105, I am with you all the way. The chassidish women ask me to drive them places (I had one lady who thought she could call me at home, as if I was a free car sevice). Another chassidish lady asked me if she could come to my house and watch a movie, how shocked she was to learn I don’t have any, haha I showed her! Maybe they forget the reasons for their minhagim. Again, I will state that I am thrilled they don’t drive, traffic is bad enough as it is!
iluvchulent…you have a point, the girls don’t have as far to travel.
These organizations obviously are getting the seminary lists and addresses, they know EXACTLY who they are sending to. I think it is a chutzpah to ask money from a single girl or a yeshivah boy. So tell me, just smile, what do you do with all these mailings? I have to admit I throw them out, I know she has no money to give them. and i feel bad doing so, I know they need but I am overwhelmed with the amount of Tzaddokos I have to give and I can’t take on any more.
I like Cherrybim’s post. A wedding is only a couple of hours, we have to keep that in mind when making a simcha and to be considerate of the chosson and kallah’s families, especially in this day and age when there is a financial crisis going on.
Can I ask a stupid question, why can’t girls be reimbursed for their expenses? The kallah wants all her friends to come, plus the friends come to the vort and get an expensive gift for the vort to display (stardust anyone?). Some girls are working but a lot are in college.
Another silly question….do bochurim get letters in the mail asking for tzaddoka? Since my daughter got home from seminary she has been getting letters in the mail addressed to her, apparently she got on someone’s list. My daughter is not working, she is in school so she can support a talmid chochum when she gets married. What are they thinking, sending letters to single girls? She doesn’t know them and has no maaser to give them.
I think it is more tznius for a woman to drive than to walk in the street, in the car noone sees her, but everyone passes by her when she walks on a busy street. Not meaning that a woman should not walk on a street, but in my opinion she is more noticable walking outside than in a car.
havesomeseichel,
You raise a good point. Here in Rockland County, many of the chassidic women do not drive. Either their husbands drive them or they get a ride by a non chassidic lady (like me) or they take a taxi to doctor appointments, etc. They have a private bus company that takes their under five children to nursery. They are used to this way of life. I am in a way glad because if they drove, just think of the traffic! Some tell me that they are glad they don’t drive otherwise they would be running around all day.
my husband does not like the frozen flounder and sol unless it is fried, but the frozen salmon at costo is very good, I just put it under the broiler after I marinate it in a sesame teriaki sauce.
It’s appropriate if they know how to drive!!! This a.m. I was in the gym’s parking lot, this woman in front of me was looking for a place to park, all of a sudden she started backing into me! I of course beeped at her, and in the gym told her LOOK BEFORE YOU START BACKING OUT!!! That would have been trouble for her and for me!
(latin) “in the same place,” used to indicate a source or reference is the same as that previously described.
I have a family to feed, smart cookie. I enjoy cooking and baking more than shopping for clothing (ugh) my hubby is a lucky man!!! I also find that the store bought stuff and take out food has so many preservatives in it. What is really taking more of my time is preparing veggies and salads, but it is healthy and my family loves it.
Intelligent-
It’s with a long I. Why do you spell your name intelligent INTELLEGENT? (with an E)
torahis1…don’t take it too seriously. Most of my friends who keep CY do have respect for others but there are always a few of this type, but it’s their problem, not ours.
My husband wants me to buy only cholov yisroel milk. I was told by the guy at wesley kosher that the New Square is very good, stays fresh, and he recomended storing the milk on the top shelf in the BACK of the fridge. Since I am storing the milk this way I have had no problem.
What troubles me is that there is an attitude of certain CY keepers of superiority, that we are better than you because we keep CY. I don’t think the first question you are asked when one goes up to shamayim after 120 years is DID YOU KEEP CY?
Shindy is my name.
Just what I was thinking.
For those not familiar with the Readers Write, here are some topic headers from last week (don’t have time to type the letters here..)
THE TORTURE OF BEING SINGLE
THE IRRESPONSIBLILITY OF CREATIN OBAMA FEAR IN OUR CHILDREN
ANSWERING OUR CHILDREN’S HASHKOFA QUESTIONS
WANT TO BE MY SON’S SHVIGGER?
THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF YOUNG ISRAEL
WRITE THE MAIDEN NAME
very dangerous for young minds to read….
A SLIT??? Nisht gut. Two inches below the knee? Well, if you sit down it will probably be too short. that’s the test.
The Queen of Persia, can you site your halachic source for this psak? thank you.
I have another question. Do you think a married woman should be on first name basis with a man (other than her husband of course).
Pearl…great idea! You put the chicken in raw?
It is obvious to me, Heshy, that this is your oldest daughter, am I correct? I used to be just like you, and have learned the hard way not to ossur everything in order to protect. The kids start really resenting it. And then when you REALLY need to say no about something they won’t listen anymore. By the way, don’t let her read Bina or Mishpacha magazine cause she’ll see more shidduch crisis, anorexia, and other troubles of klal yisroel, too much for her tender eyes to see. I am sorry I am being sarcastic but be VERY careful. ASK A ROV or a friend with older children that you respect, why should you just go to the computer to ask personal things involving YOUR child. We don’t know you or your daughter, who are we to give advice?
We can’t judge what was going on in the bar, but I will tell you as a mother I would be upset if my son was in a bar drinking when I thought I was sending him to lakewood to learn. But boys will be boys…..
Just wanted to add that the BY schools do not want him to come, although Rabbi Mechanic most definately would but they have said no.
Heshy’s wife has good company, many parents in my neck of the woods are so phobic. I have asked Rabbi Mechanic, who is the head of project chazon, to come speak to my daughter’s high school, he goes all over speaking to all types of yeshivos about hashkovah questions the kids love it. Unfortunately, he told me that he is not invited to the two BY high schools in my area. I guess there are some people that don’t want to give the kids too much to think and question about? He has haskomah from chashumvah rabbonim and has gone to speak at very frum BY type schools. I think there are girls that would really benefit from having him come speak, including the girl who wrote in to the readers write that BY girls are not allowed to ask questions, or they are too afraid, and only BT are allowed to ask.
Maybe try another newspaper that doesn’t have readers write. how about Hamodia? There are a lot of articles she would enjoy in it and are more age appropriate. If she does read the yated at a friend’s house, than be open and prepared to speak with her about the issues, it is an opportunity for you to discuss and connect with your daughter, she is getting to the age where it is almost impossible to shelter them. but you can tell her how you feel about things. She is young and will respect how you feel about it.
My husband calls the readers write a “slow blog” people write in all sorts of nonsence anonymously, we laugh at some of these letters!
I would suggest that you or your wife speak to your personal Rov, that way you can ask about your own situation and your own child. We don’t know you personally and really can only speak about ourselves, not for you.
My own Rov got the Yated and did not keep it under the bed hidden.
I think it is very nice that our husbands come home to find their lovely wives, and that is the ideal.
Boruch Hashem my schools have always organized the chanukah gelt for teachers. You just send in a check and it is distributed among the teachers. It has been over twenty one years since I was a teacher, but I will always remember the sweet little girl who brought in a personal note and present. It was a very practical long sleeved cotton night gown which I wore till it was a shmattah.
In my family we don’t really give chanukah presents, just chanukah gelt for the teachers and we light the menorah and make latkas, that is enough for me. In general I hate shopping and I abhor malls and the whole “season”. I give money to the mail man, my cleaning lady, and the people who haul away the trash and they are very happy with recieving money.
My non-Jewish friends are always frazzled this time of year with the shopping for presents, and how much $$ they are spending, and I am always happy I am spared all the hassle of gift giving.
“we should be glad that many women, who otherwise might be turned off from wearing a head covering, are in fact covering their hair, instead of arguing whether or not they are doing it the right way.”
Exactly how I feel!!! How many times have I seen a woman who previously did not cover her hair all of a sudden put on a shaitel? It is only because the styles nowadays are much nicer than ever before. I got married in 1985, and there is no comparison between the wigs now and the wigs then. Now the hair is nicer and most of the wigs come with a skin top so the part looks real. It was only those few who could afford to spend several thousand dollars for a custom made wig that really looked like their own hair. Nowadays, everyone can look really nice with all these very real looking wigs. I think it’s fantastic.
Eyes Open- I did try the apple pie recipe. Just to give everyone a feed back, my husband did not like it, sorry.
Where I am from choulent is a MUST for the men and boys on Thursday night, but my friend gives her children choulent for breakfast shabbos morning. Choulent is Jewish soul food.
I made a great dish that went over very well. you can make a chicken pastry roll. (I love it, by try not to make it often since it’s not at all healthy.) Take onion, some garlic, peppers, mushrooms, spinach, cabbage- basically whatever you want. Chop it up and start sauteeing. When almost done, add chicken, basil, salt, pepper, etc. Roll up in puff pastry dough, egg, sesame seeds, bake until browned. Serve with mushroom sauce.
Thursday night I generally do not make chicken and kugel (too close to shabbos). Tonight I am making baked ziti with salmon latkas and salad.
Bogen…I know that you are suggesting this very innocently, but truthfully I don’t think it is a good practise putting out details of your life for the whole world to see. Unfortunately, there are alot of kooky people out there, and for that reason I am not on face book or any other site where you meet other people. In fact, I am a little surprised that YW put your post on.
okay, you start “bogen”.
you are welcome yoshi. and after you chase after your child you are not eating junk for a quick pick me up, so I still give you the credit.
Congradulations Yoshi for losing and keeping it off, that is great!
Time for them to put out another kosher movie!
