We have a winner……

We have a winner, although I have not been able to reach her.  Veggie girl, a very wonderful young lady who is dedicated to a healthy diet for all the right reasons.  If you have not been to her blog , you should really pop over there.  She offers some interesting ideas for you to digest and then accept or reject.  She has the nicest manner about her and I know you will all like her.

She has won either Robin Rescues Dinner  by Robin Miller or Giada’ sFamily Dinner by Giada De Laurentis.

Three people figured out the difficult puzzle.  Chez who? and Girlichef were the runners up and both get a pat on the back, a well deserved one. <smile>

The photo was a muffin like puff made from gefilte fish, matzah meal, eggs, onions and a teaspoon of baking powder.  I probably will not be able to duplicate this but I am going to try.  They turned out to be good and no one could possibly tell what they were made of.

For those of you who do not know much about gefilte fish, it is ground fish mixed with onions, matzah meal and carrots and sold either in a bottle in patty form or as a loaf which is frozen.  Since I do not make my own, I use the frozen loaves which are the closest to homemade.  Anyone want to try making this, it could be interesting.

The loaf leaves itself open to exploration because it can be defrosted and done with as we  like.  Honestly, I think most people do as they are told, on the package and boil it with some carrots, onions and sugar.  Being a bit more adventurous, I have played with, over the years, and that is how I ended up with these charming little puffs.

The sauce that covers it is Duck sauce.  I put that on the patties I make out of the fish, at other times.  I also make patties in a marinara sauce with chopped onions and green peppers. 

For the creative spirit, you can do lots with a package of gefilte fish.
