Briskets and Baked Latkes

Oh yes, tomorrow is The New Shul's Battle of the Briskets at The Cowgirl. I am taking a side dish of baked latkes ( to the left, to the left..) in my fancy Martha Stewart Tupperware. It is a new recipe that I am trying out, I think they turned out delicious.. but I will see how fast they go or don't go tomorrow. I want to include the recipe in my book, they have real kick to them due to the seasoning and are a nice change from the typical latke.

I will also be taking a bunch of sweetriot (www.sweetriot.com) with me tomorrow to give out at the event. I have become a rioter or something like a community spokesperson for the candy. If you haven't tried Sweetriot....definitely check it out. It is such a luscious nosh! The dark chocolate ones are my favorite, but trust it's all good.

I'll be doing my podcast, Kosher with Soul from the battle tomorrow so be sure to take a listen.

When I wear my Rabbi's Daughter's "Yenta" t-shirt (www.rabbisdaughters.com) and wear my Star of David at the same time, I do get a bit of attention. So, I wasn't surprised when after a man asked me for directions he asked me about my shirt and star. I told him I was Jewish and he was delighted. Then we got into me being a kosher intercultural chef, etc and he got even more excited. Right before we parted he looked at me and said " I wouldn't have picked you" and he laughed. How dare he!?!? People think they are so cute with their " funny you don't look Jewish" comments. If I had a dollar for all the times someone said something so not kosher to me I would be living next door to Oprah.

It's all good..my response is showing Jewish diversity through food. I am developing a course that fuses Jewish history/food/recipes. It can not be denied.. Jews come from everywhere and have ALWAYS been a multiracial and multicultural people.
