Desserts

 

Desserts:

Easy salsa-baked gefilte fish (so easy it’s not funny):

  1. Open a package of frozen gefilte fish.  Peel off the paper.  Whomp it into a loaf pan.
  2. Schlop a big jar’s worth of your favourite salsa (give or take:  mine had some out of it already) right on top of the fish.
  3. Bake at 350 for 1.5 hours (1 hour if fish isn’t frozen).
  4. If you remember, spoon salsa back over the fish while it bakes; if you forget, it’s not the end of the world.
  5. Serve chilled.

* At last.  Of course, after months of FREEZING, it’s “shmoiling” (as my kid would say) in here.

Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused o...
