Today's recipe: the Guilty Kugel

Aug 12, 2008 16:15

I am a fan of kugels. For those unfamiliar with them, it is a wonderful example of Jewish cuisine: essentially, noodles baked in eggs to bind, with other ingredients to make the dish either savory or sweet. I first met both kinds of kugel at a delightful seder I was guest at years ago, and have adopted this into my own "simple comfort food" ( Read more... )

Mine's a far cry from low fat ::grin::, but there are a million styles and variations of kugel out there. That looks like a great recipe, and there are always more to try!

Hmm. I just thought kugels were those exercises women do.

Must rethink.

har.
Exercises invented by a *doctor* named Kugel, possibly Jewish, in which case named for a noodle/egg dish, or German, in which case his name means 'bullet' or 'ball', in the sense of lead-shot ball which bullets (kugeln) used to be.

there you go. Multiple choices to rethink with.

or on the third hand (and come to think of it), the spelling makes a diff. That doctor's named "Kegel", actually..

That sounds and looks really good...

You are an evil person. You know this. You say, work, work, work. Nose to the grindstone, Stern signs threatening death and dismemberment to any and all the disturb the occupant. Then you go and put that recipe up, complete with a picture, no less. I now have two pans sitting on my counters. One is the savory Kugel. One is a sweet version with sugar and vanilla and a touch of nutmeg. How could I not? Man, are they good!

Well, obviously, since you are looking at LJ you are not yet in your work zone, since you haven't unplugged the ethernet cable, yet, have you? Now you see why I strongly urge that step in creating the writing bubble as well. ;) Hence, Baking is Allowed.

Man, *sweet* kugel!!! I could really really use a dessert item right about now. But there is nothing dessert-like in the house*, alas. Perhaps I will have to take a break later and finally bake that lemon curd cake I've been meditating on.

Hm. Breakfast time. Time for kugel. Off I go...

* this is because we've been dealing with 10,000 lbs of tomatoes and have been canning and I made a gallon of pasta sauce yesterday. No time for dessert. But that's just not right.
