Every time I travel, it takes a week or more to get back into our normal schedule. Last weekend, we had no out-of-town guests and were even (gasp) invited out for a meal. This weekend, things have gone back to normal. Three boys from Shapell's are visiting with us. A family in our community is remodeling their kitchen, so they are coming over for dinner along with three of my 15 year olds friends. How quickly we reach 20 for dinner. A family whose matriarch is 8 month pregnant will be with us for lunch (8+3+4 = 15 people total). This week, I'm revisiting an old recipe I made up in college. It is fittingly called College Goo. It was something I could whip up that stretched the ingredients, was very filling and tasted good (to a college student on a limited budget). Its ground meat, rice, onions, mushrooms and peas and garlic, and is usually served with soy sauce. Quantities are very loose, so its more of a make it up as you go dish. I usually add Cumin while I saute...
Hospitality and Food along with a little Jewish content. These are the records of our weekends with guests. Meals are rarely less than 10 people and frequently top 20. Recipes and Philosophy included.
