Ingredients:
2 chickens, cut in 1/8th’s
1-1/2 cups cornflake crumbs
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup soy milk
Method:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place cornflakes crumbs, brown sugar and cinnamon in large, sturdy Ziploc bag (the freezer ones work nicely). Shake to combine. Pour soy milk  into a bowl. Dip each chicken piece into soy milk; then add to bag. Every 3 pieces or so, close bag and shake to coat chicken with crumbs.

Place in pan and bake for about 1 hour.

Ingredients:

25 grams yeast
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. flour
3 cups flour
1/4 cup margarine, melted
dash of salt
3 Tablespoons sugar
2 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups water
jelly
oil for frying
powdered sugar

Method:
1. To make the dough: Combine the first four ingredients in a bowl. Mix cover, and wait until it rises. In another bowl, mix 3 cups of flour with the melted margarine, salt, sugar and egg yolks. Combine the yeast mixture with the flour mixture. Slowly add water while stirring. When batter is smooth, cover the bowl with a towel and let it sit and rise again
2. To make the doughnuts: After the batter has risen, pour it onto a floured surface and roll it out. Use a glass with a small opening to cut out circles of the dough.  Cover the doughnuts with a towel and let rise.
3. To fry the doughnuts: Heat oil in a deep pot until very hot. Drop the doughnuts into the oil and fry on both sides until brown. Remove with a slotted spoon. Insert some jam in each doughnut

sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Ingredients:
3 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
½ Teaspoon Salt
4 Teaspoons Cinnamon
½ Teaspoon Cloves
½ Teaspoon Allspice
1 Cup Vegetable Oil
1 Cup Dark Honey
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Cup Brown Sugar
3 Whole Eggs
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Cup Warn Dark Coffee
½ Cup Orange Juice
¼ Cup Coffee Brandy or Whiskey
½ Cup Sliced Almonds
Parchment Paper

Method:
1.  Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
2.  Lightly grease pan and line bottom with greased parchment paper ( so much easier to take out later)
3. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices.
4.  Make a well in the center on the dry ingredients and add oil, honey, sugars, eggs, vanilla, coffee, orange juice, and brandy.
5.  Combine all ingredients well.
6.  Spoon batter into pan – and sprinkle top with the sliced almonds.
7.  Bake until the cake springs back when touched gently in the center (approximately 60 to 70 minutes for bundt or tube pans – small loaf pans will take less time). This is a very wet batter – and depending on your oven it may take longer to bake.
8.  Once baked allow cake to stand in pan for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Shana Tova! Happy New Year!

History has shown us that Tisha B’Av is indeed a day for mourning. There are five main tragedies that occurred on this day:

1) G-d told the Children of Israel that the oldest generation would not enter the Land.
2) The First Temple built by King Solomon was destroyed by Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BCE.
3) The Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE.
4) The city of Betar was captured and thousands of Jews were killed in 135 CE.
5) The Roman emperor made a pagan temple on the site of the Temple and rebuilt Jerusalem as a pagan city in 136 CE.
It has also been claimed that the Jewish expulsion from Spain in 1492 began on Tisha B’Av as well as World War I.
