Dairy Desserts for Shavuos!

image

Gourmet Kosher Cooking has a fudge recipe for Shavuos, which is a fabulous idea, but I wanted to once again share my super-duper-easy-emergency fudge recipe in case you don’t have time for REAL fudge. 

Elisheva complains that mine tastes more like icing than fudge; make it a little thinner and it WOULD make an incredible icing. 

It is a bit more gritty than real fudge, but the trade-off is:  you can make it in about image20 seconds in a frying pan, so definitely worth a try.  My mother-in-law in Calgary taught me how to make this years ago.  Just be sure you use COOKED pudding and pie filling (doesn’t have to be Jello brand), not the instant stuff, which won’t work for this recipe.  Recipe here.

image My classics for Shavuos are sticky-sweet Indian Gulab Jamun (made with Bisquick – here’s one recipe),  plus my grandmother’s Neapolitan Cake.

On top of these, Ted always makes a cheesecake of some kind.  There are always too many desserts around here at Shavuos time – which is just the way I like it!

The trick is finding nice dairy meals to go along with the desserts.  Here’s last year’s Shavuous menu.  I’ll probably make many of the same things this year, except we’re out for both the lunches.

    You know, if there are just too many desserts, Mr. D and I could make a sacrifice and take some off your hands. Our waistlines would suffer, of course, but we're willing to put ourselves out there to help you!

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused o...
