Challah

[TransformX]

My wife struggled with making Challah for quite some time now and while the final result isn't as impressive looking as the usual specimen, she traded frustration with happiness - which makes me happy, both for having fresh baked challah to eat and for the fact I don't need to sit and hear her venting

Dunno how, why or when but my Mennonite grandmother knew how to make that, and often did. She called it kale (khale? ??).

No leftovers

from wikipedia:

also known as khale (eastern Yiddish)

What do you know

[Dr Mordrid]

Mennonites where she came from were largely German and Dutch, so with Yiddish being a germanic tongue I guess it makes sense.

You do realize that this is like saying yes to "does this dress make me look fat?"


Personally, I think it looks great.
And if she starts thinking about shipping to the US...

There are more than enough Jewish bakeries in the U.S who produce all kinds of Challah.
