So for New Year’s Day, one is supposed to eat donuts. You know, for luck. Anything round or circular or ring-shaped is considered lucky. So they say... Anyway, I didn’t have donuts. I didn’t make any. I didn't buy any. But I didn't want to tempt fate, either. So I offered my family the next best thing. Bagels. I always have bagels in the house. Bagels are circular in shape, just like donuts, so I figured they'd make a great substitute. I served them traditionally, with schmear and lox, and ... continue reading...

Today is the last day of the year 2021. I'm glad. It's been a tough year. For many people around the world.

And maybe Cioppino ... continue reading...

So I can just repeat it annually. At ... continue reading...
Fiesta Friday #410

I make my sufganiyot the easy way, using my basic beignet dough, and filling them with whatever jam or jelly I have on hand. This time around I filled them with raspberry jam. Sometimes I even fill them with Nutella. All versions are delicious! All fried foods basically are delicious, lol. Once in a ... continue reading...
