We have a pick up compost service and I’m supposed to leave the bucket out for them by 8:00AM on Sundays (I think they do restaurant and commercial customers during the week, so do individual homes on Sundays). On October 2 I forgot to leave the bucket out, then on October 9 they skipped us. They take some stuff that I can’t put into the back yard compost pile because it would attract the raccoons, like egg shells and meat scraps and breads.<\/p>\n
This year for Rosh Hashanah, the last weekend of September, when my knee was pretty bad, I wanted to make a honey cake, and was briefly seduced by this version from Nigella<\/a> with dates & apples in it, but it makes kind of a lot and calls for an orange that I didn’t have, and going to the store to get one seemed like too much. So I made Mollie Katzen’s Jewish New Year Honeycake, that I’ve made many times before. I have the recipe in the Moosewood Cookbook, but I guess it also got compiled into something called Mollie Katzen’s Desserts<\/a>, “A collection of 50 hand-lettered dessert recipes in a box from the author of the MOOSEWOOD COOKBOOK, in a compact easel format”–Provided by publisher, that seems to be in special collections at Library of Congress, and I thought<\/em> might be available online in the Internet Archive, but it’s just this short preview.<\/p>\n
