Where does the time fly

[jelazakazone]

I've been very busy the last two days.  Highlights include:

• took car to dealer and had rumbling sound diagnosed: they think it's a wheel bearing (I think I might just take my car to the local guy and that way I don't have to waste my time waiting in some godawful waiting room and I could do something useful like cook dinner instead
• made challah
  
• had

Sounds good even if busy!

Yeah, it's been good. I could wish for more sleep though. I'm going to try for that tomorrow.

I also found out that I don't have to get up at 6 am on Tues and you can't believe how excited I am by that news!!

I considered making challah, but it's too close to Passover, and I've still got half a loaf of anadama bread to use up. But after Passover, I have to do it, if only to prove to my Yiddish class that I make good challah.

What is anadama bread? I am making a whole wheat challah. It's pretty good, although it's not like the white challah that we all know and love.

I was thinking of making challah on this coming up Friday with my mom, but we've got enough left over that I think we'll skip it.

I don't keep kosher normally, so I am not too worried about these things.

Hey, here's a question for you: we don't keep kosher, except for the seder. So, we are fairly clueless about some things. We are planning to serve a dairy/fish dinner so that we can have dairy desserts. Is it still ok to do that and have the lamb shank on the Seder plate?:)

Anadama bread is a lovely, old-fashioned New England sandwich bread. It's made with cornmeal and molasses and produces a nice meaty loaf. Yummy!

About the shank bone. . . we always had a meat meal, so that we could have Aunt Pony's pot roasted brisket. I would imagine that you could probably fine some small lunatic fringe ultra-Orthodox sect that would look with horror on a dairy meal when there is a shank bone in the room, but my guess is that, since you don't really do anything with the shank bone, and it never touches any of the actual food, you could do the dairy dinner just fine.

:) thanks for the answer. Now we have another "problem" which is that the soup is chicken broth. Argh. Do I tell guests to bring vegetable dishes that are not made with butter? Maybe we'll turn a blind eye to the chicken broth.

Also, if you have two hours between the consumption of one food and another, it's ok, right? Like, eat meat and wait two hours and then you can eat dairy?
