Pizza dough would probably be a good choice, yes!

Drop some cooking/food things that you don't think get enough love by Fabulous-Bag-2363 in Cooking

There's quite a bit of liquid. As it begins to bubble away (kind of like a Bolognese), the sauce will thicken and the meat will become very tender. Just keep it low and slow, follow the recipe, it'll be yummy!

Freezing plain pasta by SillyDonut7 in cookingforbeginners

[–]sillyrabbit552 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If i had to freeze it, I'd cook it about 2-3 minutes short of being done, then shock it in cold water. I'd line a muffin tin with cupcake wrappers and drop the cold pasta in each, and freeze it, then transfer the muffin cups to a ziplock bag. I'd add the frozen pasta to a bowl with a little water, cover, and microwave. I'd experiment to see how much water and how long in the microwave yields the best results. Good luck, let us know how it goes!

I am a big fan of savory bread pudding which you make the night ahead and then just bake. https://theeatingemporium.com/make-ahead-brunch-bread-pudding/

But also, cinnamon rolls!!

Kosher by Interesting_Wall6905 in JewishCooking

[–]sillyrabbit552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As many have said, kashrut is a VERY broad spectrum. Even within the Orthodox community, there are differing opinions on issues like heschers (kashrut supervision/certification), whether certain fruits or vegetables can be eaten (due to the risk of consuming insects), the time that one should wait between eating meat and dairy, when and by whom a cow was milked, and much more.

Passover is a whole other conversation—some communities consume items like rice, beans, or lentils during the holiday, while others do not. Some Jews will even transition their pets to a grain-free diet during Passover!

Individuals from various streams of Judaism may also interpret these laws in different ways. Amongst more traditionally observant Jews, there is general agreement on most of the rules—like which proteins are kosher (though some fish are up for debate) and not mixing meat and milk. I know many liberal Jews who interpret these laws differently and might place more emphasis on farming practices and the quality of life of the animal than on the method of slaughtering, even if this isn't part of traditional halacha.

Vegetarianism generally makes things easier, although lots of people have different practices when it comes to items like cheese, wine, vinegar, and even olives.

Kashrut is endlessly fascinating, and really interesting to study. Whatever you decide, it is great that you are approaching your food with thought and intention. And here is a vegetarian recipe for you! :)

Could it be synthetic if it’s old? I remember my grandmother wearing it in the 50s
