"Madness, madness, they call it madness..."
In the pre-Rosh Hashanah whirlwind there was not much time to post ("cook for your life!"). Now that we sit in the wake of it, I can post recipes n' pix galore ('fat lotta good that'll do me now,' you may be thinking if you came in search of recipes FOR Rosh Hashanah -- maybe for next year. Sorry, I'm bailing water as fast as I can. I'm a mother of a newborn. deal.).
"SIMANIM" (SEE-MON-EEM): THE SYMBOLIC FOODS OF ROSH HASHANAH
Apples dipped in honey (everybody knows that one)
Pomegranate
Pomegranate
Dates
Gourd/Squash (butternut squash w/ brown sugar)
Carrot (honey-orange-ginger glazed!)
Leeks (leek pancakes)
Beets
Black-eyed Peas
Fish
Fish Head (specifically: "that we should be the head and not the tail.")
(see pic of our stuffed trout, above -- mmmmm)
...and the exciting "New Fruit/s" of the second night of R.H.
I hafta find out the name of one of them. Thought it was a "sabra" (aka: Prickly Pear or Indian Fig -- a cactus fruit) but what a surprise! A pink, thick-skinned fruit that looked like a cactus fruit, and I strongly suspect is a variety of it, but when we sliced it open: Wow! White with tiny, kiwi-esque black seeds! Very dramatic.
We also had Persimmon and the sweet-lemony Starfruit.
gurgle.
Recipes n' pix soon. Promise.
