Dairy Desserts for Shavuos!

image

Gourmet Kosher Cooking has a fudge recipe for Shavuos, which is a fabulous idea, but I wanted to once again share my super-duper-easy-emergency fudge recipe in case you don’t have time for REAL fudge. 

Elisheva complains that mine tastes more like icing than fudge; make it a little thinner and it WOULD make an incredible icing. 

It is a bit more gritty than real fudge, but the trade-off is:  you can make it in about image20 seconds in a frying pan, so definitely worth a try.  My mother-in-law in Calgary taught me how to make this years ago.  Just be sure you use COOKED pudding and pie filling (doesn’t have to be Jello brand), not the instant stuff, which won’t work for this recipe.  Recipe here.

image My classics for Shavuos are sticky-sweet Indian Gulab Jamun (made with Bisquick – here’s one recipe),  plus my grandmother’s Neapolitan Cake.

On top of these, Ted always makes a cheesecake of some kind.  There are always too many desserts around here at Shavuos time – which is just the way I like it!

The trick is finding nice dairy meals to go along with the desserts.  Here’s last year’s Shavuous menu.  I’ll probably make many of the same things this year, except we’re out for both the lunches.

  1. You know, if there are just too many desserts, Mr. D and I could make a sacrifice and take some off your hands. Our waistlines would suffer, of course, but we're willing to put ourselves out there to help you!

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box:   I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
