Almost Purim! KCC #39

The Almost Purim KCC
Kosher Cooking Carnival #39
Adar, 5769 אדר ,

From the beginning I've said that "the Kosher Cooking Carnival is not just a kosher recipe carnival." I hope that more halachik posts will be submitted to it. Keeping kosher is complicated, and you have to know what you're doing.

Please send in any suitable posts you write or see via blog carnival. And if you'd like to host an edition, please let me know shilohmuse at yahoo dot com

Pretty soon we'll be taking our leave of the original KCC logo, which I made up with real scissors and paste over three years ago.

Looking back, here's a list of all the previous KCC's: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, KCC Meta Carnival, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38.


In modern Hebrew כשר kosher has two meanings. One relates the food and the other to physical fitness. I've been on the kosher Start Fresh kosher weight loss diet, and I've even lost weight. To encourage myself even more, I started a new blog carnival, Blogging About Losing Weight. Send your posts here.

A number of people sent me the link the article abobut how the Chariedi newspaper Hamodia published a traif recipe. They claimed typo and that instead of using a "baleboosteh" to write the column they use an advertising agency. And obviously the men running the paper think cooking's beneath them and don't proof the column.
