Funny, I didn't think about this when I offered to take over this week for the vacationing Jamestown1630, that I'd be heading into a religious fast! What great timing! Still, there is no time like fasting (or thinking about fasting) to come up with delicious ideas to make and eat.
What would you break a fast with? Personally, the actual first food I eat after not eating for some 25 hours needs to be protein, or I will feel quite sick. But there are a million kinds of protein! Traditionally in my family the proteins have been cold meats (as in deli meats), or smoked salmon, or even cheeses for the vegetarians. The usual cooks have been fasting all day in the synagogue, so there wouldn't be a fresh, hot cooked meal. I would hope to break the fast with a bite of smoked salmon with a bit of cream cheese and some capers, personally. Maybe wrapped in lettuce, forgoing the delicious bagels I don't digest well, and certainly not on an empty stomach.
But not everyone would agree that we should be sensible and break the fast with protein. Some, feeling that low blood sugar, would step straight up to the dessert table. I'm making 150 little rugulachs tonight for just that sort of person. And the beloved radio conservative Dennis Prager, if you are lucky enough to be a part of his High Holy Day services, will share with you his favorite break the fast food: M&Ms. I can't knock it; they seem to be working out well for him so far!
When you haven't eaten in a while, when you didn't mean to skip a meal, when you have been sick and your appetite returns with a vengeance, what do you seek out? A hearty food? A bowl of something comfy and warm?
I love that site. It has a lot of history and old recipes with the old product pictures.
I can’t imagine eating it from the can, it would be too sweet! I love it in my cheesecakes though.
When I have bouts with bad anxiety I don't eat much and lose lots of weight without trying. It's like metabolism goes into high gear or something.
You said you used softened butter. Room temp soft? And then how did you get it mixed in well? I want to use your method and not use melted butter.
And those crescents are gorgeous. I saved a similar recipe only it uses a 3-inch cookie cutter with the little scallops on the edge. Then a little apricot preserves are added, the pastry folded just shy of 1/2, baked, then drizzled with icing.
Either way you have to make dough and roll it out which is worth it if you feel up to it. Actually making crescents would be easier than a cookie cutter.
You’re welcome! I never have the malt syrup some recipes call for. There are some that just call for regular ingredients. Have fun! (If your bagel rings open up when you put them in the simmering water, you can always have bagel sticks)

You’ll love fashion icon Tziporah Salamon’s book on the “Art of Dressing.”
She chronicles her clothing evolution from being born in Israel and holy advice she got from Rabbis.
Tells about outfits worn to synagogue.
Beautiful book by a beautiful person.
That sounds so good! TY for the recipe, it’s going in the to make list :)
I’m going to make this into loaves instead of cupcakes tonight to make it a little easier on myself. Two for us and two to mail to my FIL. This recipe is so tasty with whipped cream on top, I love the texture too. This recipe makes two large loaves.

Thanks for filling in as I look forward to this weekly group. I hadn’t really thought about it, but I realize I do crave protein, especially cheese. Okay, don’t make fun, but I also crave McDonald’s chicken biscuits & will pick one up on my way to school on Fridays. The rest of the week I have chia oatmeal & yogurt.....a gal’s gotta have some guilty pleasures!
Enjoy your rugalach, they look spectacular! Just melt in your mouth delicious ; )
Those sound absolutely delicious & I love anything mocha!
I love making my own bagels, they taste so good. My kids are big fans of my bagel dogs. I like to wrap little smokies in the bagel dough, and then continue the rest of the bagel steps. They never last long.
That sounds good. I’ll have to try it!
Am traveling this week so unable to do much posting. I am so ready for Fall!
I'd like to try that w/ chocolate cupcakes.....and brownies.
