That is the same one I sent you the link to. I'd be interested in how
the mandelbrot comes out. Let me know, please.

I'd love the spinach kugel recipe. Please, please post it.

I used to be able to get Manischewitz low-carb luxion (noodles) but the
stores no longer carry it now that "low-carb" is no longer the diet
craze of the moment. I have thought about breaking up Dreamfields
lasagna noodles to use in a kugel, but....nah. If I do make a noodle
kugel, most of it gets frozen and we use extreme portion control.

My mother always made cheese blintzes for Shavuot. DH only likes potato
blintzes so he doesn't get any. :-)
