Food Blurb: Traditional Meal on the Sabbath

I am always interested in learning about world cuisine.  I especially like Jewish food or Israeli cuisine.  In a social community where I am an active member, people love to share food-related posts.  One of the members, Vasya007, shared a post about cholent or hamin (see below).  I was inspired to look up some recipes and additional information..  

“Cholent or hamin is a traditional Jewish stew. It is usually simmered overnight for 12 hours or more, and eaten for lunch on Shabbat. Cholent was developed over the centuries to conform with Jewish laws that prohibit cooking on the Sabbath.”  (Wikipedia)

Favorite Delicatessen Food (Thanks to the Earl of Sandwich and the Jews)

We are all grateful to the Earl of Sandwich. Legend says he was in a hurry one day, slapped a piece of meat between two pieces of bread, and the sandwich was invented. Eh! That's the story I heard.  Some say he did not invent it, but he made it popular. Whoever! Thank you! :)

Anyway, here is a link to an archived post by a fellow freelance writer about favorite places to eat. The article writer recounts an experience at a restaurant in Palm Beach, Florida. It brought back nice memories. I am from Miami, Florida, and used to work in Miami Beach.  For me, the best place to eat a great sandwich is a Jewish kosher delicatessen. that was within 5-minute walking distance from my job. Maybe the Earl made the sandwich, but the Jews definitely took it up a notch!  The most difficult lunch decision for me to make was whether to order corned beef or pastrami. :)

Holiday Food: A Collection of Recipes for the Celebration of Hanukkah

I am a Christian but I have many Jewish friends who are celebrating Hanukkah. It is a holiday celebration that lasts for eight (8) days and it has been observed for more than 2000 years. The word Hanukkah means "dedication".  But it is also known as the Festival of Lights.

If you would like to know more about the holiday, My Jewish Learning published an excellent article: The History of Hanukkah.

Hanukkah

Like most holidays celebrated by any group of people, there is lots of wonderful food to be enjoyed. 
HAPPY HANUKKAH!!

Can You Guess the Healthiest Cuisines in the World?

Dear Blog Readers and Subscribers:

Missed me?  LOL. ☺❤  
I chilled out a bit for the 4th of July holiday but I have been (and still am) kind of busy with my various home biz projects.  Publishing this short post so that my readers know this is blog is still being maintained.




Found an interesting article today at Spices, Inc. that lists the 8 Healthiest Cuisines in the World.

It was no surprise to me that California Cuisine was on the list. I am a little upset that Caribbean cuisine did not make the list. But I understand. ☺ As to why kosher Jewish food isn't Number 1 on the list?  Your guess is as good as mine. 

JUST FOR FUN!

Before you check the official list at Spices, Inc., write down YOUR LIST of world cuisines that you think should be on this list and then compare to see if you guessed right!

Vegan and Vegetarian Blogs: The Flaming Vegan


Many celebrities have gone the way of the vegan. to name just two (see "Links of Interest" below). Taking the leap and plunging myself into a vegan diet would be unrealistic. Taking baby steps toward modifying my diet to incorporate vegan food into my meals is a much more reasonable and sensible approach.
