Challah in the Bread Machine
1 egg and then fill to 1 1/4 cups water
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup soft butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
4 cups bread flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tsp yeast
1 tsp poppy seeds
Put all ingredients in as listed. Place machine on regular bread cycle for
completed loaf.
One beaten egg in a separate bowl for glossing dough.(Only if using the braid
option)
Braid Option: Place machine on dough cycle and then remove after complete to
floured linen. Cut dough in half and set half aside, makes two braids. Take
one half and divide into 3 parts make each section into a 12-15" 'snake'.
Laying side by side the strips, press together at one end and braid in a
simple braid press last end together and tuck ends under. Place on cookie
sheet that has been sprayed lightly with Pam. Let it double. Glaze with egg

Latkes
3-4 large potatoes
1 large onion
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp + salt
pepper
butter and oil for frying
sour cream and or applesauce
Grate and drain potatoes, mashing to get liquid out. Grate onion and combine
with potatoes in large bowl. Beat eggs and add to potatoes and onion. Add
salt to taste and pepper. Stir in flour. Cook on electric skillet heated to
400 degrees. I use a mixture of butter and oil to fry them so the butter
doesn't burn at the high temperature. Cook till brown, only turning once.
Serve with lots of sour cream and or applesauce.
I always keep extra potatoes ready because never do I fix enough the first
time. :-)
Lamb Chops
Use Kosher chops or Kasher properly
(See Morton's instructions on Kosher Salt box)

1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 wine vinegar
1 Tbsp of minced garlic
Pepper to taste
Marinate for 1-2 hours
Grill, on medium flame, 4 minutes on each side for one inch thick chops.
Drizzle marinade over chops while cooking if needed to keep moist. Or broil
in oven.
