Weekend Rehash

by Kat Kinsman, Posted Apr 13th 2009 @ 9:30AM

We can only imagine it wasn't just us having a culinarily significant weekend, what with the late-breaking Seders and Easter feasting. Sure, Monday drudgery is upon us, but howzabout dishing up your biggest cooking tales of the past few days?

We'll go first. 'Round these parts, we rustled up our very first Sweet Potato Kugel (Elijah even asked for seconds), braised and glazed an Easter ham in Cheerwine cherry soda, bourbon and pomegranate molasses, and shook up a few Ramos Gin Fizzes from all the extra eggs lying about. Somehow, it all managed to coexist quite peacefully in both our hearts and digestive systems, and while we didn't get 'round to sourcing the lambs' blood for the Icelandic Slatur we've been double-dog-dared to make, there's always next weekend.

For now, we're hungry for your tales of kitchen woes and triumps. Didja best a crust that's been troubling you, or experiment with an unfamiliar veggie? Dish 'em up in the comments below.

Since Quinoa is a seed, not a grain (despite what it says on the box), it's acceptable. So I made Quinoa Pilaf with celery, scallions, and carrots. That went over really well and held up very well to reheating.

Then, I decided to try some breakfast quinoa. I cooked some plain quinoa with water then mixed in cinnamon, raisins, honey, and a little milk. It was quite tasty and my five year old son even ate up his entire bowl. Definitely a nice break from matzoh and cream cheese every morning.

My next quinoa attempt will be this: http://greenlitebites.com/2009/04/03/apple-cinnamon-breakfast-quinoa/

We had our traditional Not-Jewish-but-we-really-like-the-food seder and I tried my hand at making dolma (Greek stuffed grape leaves)stuffed with just rice,onion,dill and parsley for my vegan sister and topped with olive oil and lemon juice. They turned out to be pretty tasty, but unfortunately the plate I used to weigh them down while they steamed cracked.I'll have to find a better method before I make them again.
