    Show Notes:

    Guess who is back...

    Back again...

    Show notes!

    Ok enough of foolery lets get this going. In this episode Bubbe starts. Fricassee is a combination of chicken parts and meatballs. But don't take our word for it... check out the recipe.

    And now we are going to make it the way it was in the olden days but keeping the flavor but at the same time making it low fat. Guess we should begin folks.

    It is time to first make the meatballs and then the chicken. It is that simple. While we are on that Bubbe introduces us to her best friend, the old fashioned grater. The grater is perfect to make bread crumbs or used for onions in this case.

    Don't forget the mushrooms and make sure it is on sale at the market it doesn't have to be fancy. Can mushrooms are just as good as non-canned mushrooms.

    Bubbe adds some oil, garlic, and onion into the pan. If only you could have been there the aroma is amazing. Speaking of amazing watch how the chicken gets added and turns white. After pushing the chicken to the side in comes the meatballs.

    After one of the slowest placing of the cover I have ever seen we move on to my favorite part of the show. Come on... say it. You know you want to. Fine I will. THE YIDDISH WORD OF THE DAY.

    Oh look Yiddish Word has a sponsor today and it is Upon Further Review. Make sure to check them out at http://www.furtherreview.net

    The yiddish word today is geshmak and it means Tasty or Delicious. This is of course followed by a promo for Upon Further Review.

    Back to the main show time to add spices and no measure necessary and then the mushrooms. It is all about flavor and timing but then again isn't that what cooking truly is about anyway?

    The mushrooms shrink and chicken cube is added along with more spices and hot boiling water is the secret to get the flavor to come out. Don't forget to taste for the salt and pepper flavoring.

    Bubbe likes things that are done to put away for the future. For a main dish you can use wide noodles or rice or make it into an Hors d’œuvre by using pastry shells and make sure to let Bubbe know what you think feedme@chalutzproductions.com
