totientI've been sublimating all of my anxiety into cooking, and particularly into making dishes I haven't made before. It's been very tasty!
Last night I made the Joy of Cooking's potato pancakes. The only changes I made were to double the amount of onions, and to take the suggestion to use other root vegetables for a little of the potato (carrots were all we had on hand so I used those).
These were the least Jewish potato pancakes I think I've ever had. 20% of the way towards Egg Foo Young from actual potato pancakes. I mean yes, Americanized Chinese food from the 70's is very Jewish, and they were very tasty and went well with applesauce. But next time I will redouble the onions, and halve the amount of egg/flour mixture, and dial back the salt a little, and see if I can find some parsnips or beets or something to mix in with the potatoes.
