My first time at least somewhat observing Shavuot and I'm cheesin' it up! Got a special pan just to make the crepes for blintzes, and I've been learning things like it's actually easy to make your own Ricotta, farmer's, cream, etc cheese. The thing is, most off-the-shelf cheese are not Kosher, at least the hard ones because they use non-Kosher curdling ingredients. But soft cheeses like Ricotta etc., can be made on your own. At least if I never do that, at least I look for the hechser on the package.
+Max Roman Pan-fried , so if they break open they don't wipe out all ur oil! Plus those recipes were extremely poor quality Oils in older times, as my Cioci (Polish for Aunt) taught me...Joan seemed a bit off here but she is relating a over 60 or more year old recipe , which was Yiddish , but show up in Polish&Russian cooking but Poles had Pierogi too ! Forget Russian version 's name for Pierogi ?
