I was asked to source a tablecloth for Christmas decor. I dislike the twee looking cheap Christmas designs I have been finding online. I found that Marimekko did some vivid interesting designs for Crate and Barrel a few years back and got some luck and found them on eBay. Not your average Holiday prints. I got a red one and a green one. They haven't been setup yet but I think they are going to look very nice for a Christmas table. Marimekko prints are something you either like or you don't.

Excellent, thank you. I recall now from TFL book he used Elysian, wasn't aware Eric Ripert does as well. I'll go have a look. 👍

From what I can tell, the crusts are dough-like, for sure. Here are a couple of ideas. From Molly O'Neill's New York Cookbook (eG-friendly Amazon.com link): And from Claudia Roden's The Book of Jewish Food (eG-friendly Amazon.com link): Now get cooking!

One thing I didn't catch in the demo (and I skipped some parts, so maybe I just missed it), is whether you can use smaller pans.

Most of the square knishes around here (NJ) are made by Gabila’s, and are fried. I found this recipe which looks plausible, but I haven’t tried it: https://www.copymethat.com/r/p3LZOk5l/gabilas-style-potato-knish-developed-by-/?is_macua_ios=1 They do have a thin crust rather than crumbs.

I have a huge craving for the sort of square potato knish that I've bought from New York City food carts, and in some delis. But, I'm in Denmark, which is notable for its complete absence of knishes, so I thought I'd make my own: They seem to be simple things, pillows of mashed potato mixture, apparently fried. The surface suggests...breading..? Not actual dough, though I'm guessing, because it's been a while, and I've never paid much attention to their surface structure, because I've been focused on devouring these delicious things. The internet has yielded nothing helpful, and even here, on eGullet, the recipes involve a far doughier exterior than what I crave. Anyone have a recipe they're willing to share, or suggestions, or observations? TIA🌟

This definitely gets my vote! Also, consider adding freeze-dried cherry powder to the mix.

I learned something new today, and apparently we grow kamut here in Australia.

Deep thoughts this morning.

Kamut with Carrots, Red Peppers and Pomegranate from a CI recipe - carrots and red bell peppers are sautéed before garlic, garam masala and freshly cooked kamut are added and warmed through. Finished with toasted pistachios, pomegranate seeds, cilantro and lemon juice. Served with wiener wuerstchen

Here’s another episode in the series “things in a bowl”. This is pork gyoza (from Aldi) with broccolini and bean sprouts in bone broth. While I usually love everything Aldi, I won’t be buying these mean little things again. Perhaps Japan has spoilt me.

the syrup from amarena cherries is very flavorful https://toschiamarena.com/

I somehow missed seeing your comment. Thank you, and I like the way you think!

Of course (not)! But wait, let me grab the packaging out of the trash. Or look on the interwebs. 😉 Northern Beans Pinto Beans Large Lima Beans Yelloweye Beans Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas) Baby Lima Beans Green Split Peas Kidney Beans (Light Red & Dark Red varieties often included) Cranberry Beans (Roman Beans) Small White Beans Pink Beans Small Red Beans Yellow Split Peas Lentils Navy Beans White Kidney Beans Black Beans

It was a long day with the auction folks here. I hadn't eaten all day and my goal was fast, easy, reasonably healthy and tasty. This worked. Sukhi's Butter Chicken with Turmeric Rice (Costco refrigerated section) and I added a little Cole slaw mix for some vegetables. It worked. Now I just want to fall into bed, but since it isn't even 6:30 yet, I'd be up by midnight! Ha!

I LOVE bean soup and yours sounds delicious!!! The smoked sausage and Rotel tomatoes...yummm. Can you name all 15 kinds of beans?

Thanks! In the book, he gives the option of making this with basil pesto so I’ll probably give that a try at some point, too.

Yum! Soup looks great and I think your cracker, peanut butter, and banana is an excellent choice. Crackers, PB and a piece of fruit could be breakfast!

Thank you! I needed to hear that!

That looks so delicious and comforting. I'd gladly dive into that right now. I think the crackers are a great idea! While I like cornbread, I also like dipping my crackers in soup.

That is extremely kind of you to say. Thank you! I usually only eat two meals a day, so late breakfast/early lunch needs to last until dinner.

That looks delicious - I make a potato & green been salad with pesto as part of the dressing - my family are not big mayo fans so this is popular. Next time I will add sund-dried tomatoes - thanks!

No problem, @rotuts. It gives me something to do, in between meals in Portland, in the winter!

Not gourmet by any means but I made 18 - 6" sugar cookies and a dozen 4"x4" squares of rice krispie treats. These are for a bake sale at the high school tht my daughter teaches at. Proceeds going to the musical theatre department of which she is in charge. In researching best sellers at high school bake sales, it seems that the parameters are "big" and "sweet." I think I filled the bill. My daughter is going to label the RK squares "Grinch Treats" hence the intense green colour!

I had no idea that meals on wheels accepted donations. Wise of you to check with them. That is good to know. I didn’t know they charged for the meals, though. Obviously, I don’t know enough about Meals on Wheels!
