Well, you've read the notes, the notes were borscht, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently playing the borscht belt circuit.

I love borscht, especially when it gets truly hot outside. I used to make it a lot when I lived in Florida. And one of the things I enjoy most is the beef stock used as the base. I'm sure it was intended to stretch that scarce meat in yet another direction, and I would make a homemade stock boiling down a pot of bones. Well, a vegetarian friend uesd to get after me because she could never try any. Since she was a great cook and friend, I made a pot with a vegetable stock just for her. I couldn't stand it. Even though she liked it, I never made it for her or anyone else that way ever again.

Favorite Jewish foods? One of the sore spots on our culinary landscape in San Antonio is the lack of a good deli. One will open and the customers will flock to it in the beginning. Then you get the complaints: The prices are too high, the sandwiches are too skimpy, the quality of the ingredients is not right, it's not like New York ... The place closes in a matter of months, if not weeks.

But give me a corned beef sandwich on some good sourdough rye with enough mustard and a pickle on the side, and I'm happy.

Simple, I know, but sometimes simple is best.

And some handmade rugelach for dessert.

Good morning, all! This is a McGlinnventory day, and we missed yesterday because of the crew coming in to redo our offices. There should be a lot of surprises today that I look forward to discovering. Our major goal today is to begin unpacking and setting up all the printed composer editions and prepare them for sale, although outside of a library, I cannot fathom who would want a complete edition of Shostakovich in Russian. I've got my eye on Johann Strauss, William Walton, and the Tchaikovsky ballets. Maybe some of the Verdi operas, as well.

After that, a couple of hours editing with Skip Kennon, and then home. I will continue my reading of Mr Kimmel's new book, and that's my day.

Speaking of Jewish food, where's our DR PennyO? Artie's is not Artie's without her, and I do love their matzoh ball soup and the stuffed cabbahge, although it's sweeter than I'd like.

We don't have a decent deli up here in Austin, either.

Frankly, the best corned beef sandwich I've had here in Austin (and that's not saying much) was at Jason's Deli.

They don't even know what Jewish rye bread is in Texas.

You can buy it at the grocery store, but they don't serve it in restaurants.

BK re: the LOST opinions on tuesday's show. I think 90% of the people on televisionwithoutpity agreed with you (that with just 2 episodes left it was ridiculous not to focus on the main characters).

DR Jane last night you asked if i baked my honey cake in a loaf pan. No, i've always done it in a round bundt pan.

And re: the recipe you emailed me last night. My recipe has tea not coffee. If you're interested i can post it.
