Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The Jewish High Holidays started last week. As with most holiday celebrations, a large part of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur (once you're done fasting and atoning) and Succoth is the food. My mother's family is Jewish, but of such a secular nature that there have been times when ham has appeared on the Passover table. I don't have a store of recipes that have been handed down the generations, so I often turn to others when I want to make a holiday appropriate dish.
One recipe I'd like to try and possibly add to my file of Jewish holiday treats was posted by Claire over at Cookthink. It is a delicious looking honey cake that she remembers her (recently departed) grandmother making to represent the sweetness of another new year.

What is the favorite farmers' market you keep mentioning?
My veggie bin thanks you in advance!

The pasties tend to be really hard and the syrup is so sticky that an attempt at extracting a small piece will often net much more than you intended.
I always thought that it would be difficult to make, but I just found a recipe that makes it sound much easier than I thought:

(I can't vouch for how good that recipe is since I haven't tried it.)
