I always hoped when my mom remarried it would be to a man with children who were our age. Things didn't work out quite that way, instead of getting Greg Brady, we got my beloved stepfather, two more fantastic brothers, @_brutus4 @see.kane ... and KUGEL! Our family was already rich with Sicilian food traditions. When my stepdad arrived with his Jewish traditions, we got an even wider expanse of foods to love like this noodle pudding. My mother’s version, rich with orange zest, pineapple, and raisins, is like a dessert instead of a side dish. Meanwhile, almost 50 years later, how beautiful is it that my grandchildren are in Florida celebrating Hanukkah with their Grand Zeda? My mother would have loved this, the labors of her love. Life is beautiful and occasionally it makes me weep. Link to recipe in bio. #kugel #hanukkah #judyandtheboys
We’re cooking in the TNFP kitchen again! I’m unconsciously humming “Oh sole mio” as I stir the food with the XL stainless paddle. We made beef stir fry for 800. Staff cooked the beef while our volunteer cook team (we’re friends who cook together two afternoons a month) chopped veggies for the stir fry. Then we took over the tilt top and sauteed the veggies in the beef fonds, added the stir fry sauce, added the sauteed beef, stirred it all together, and poured it over hotel pans half-full of baked rice. We cooked 30 gallons of food in that tilt top. It's a joy to cook in such a huge pan, but it's a bear to clean. We used donated beef and fresh veggies. It's such an honor to volunteer here. #growcookshare #foodwewouldserourfamilies
