  1. I made this with brisket for the "something sweet" for Rosh Hashanah. My husband who is Jewish said it felt traditional. It's pretty easy to make, and for me the mint taste was perfect. No, it's not a dish that you say "wow!" but it's healthy, yummy comfort food. I'll definitely be making it again!
     
  2. It was okay. Pretty mild mint flavor presented itself mostly as an aftertaste. All six of us (3 kids and 3 adults) were indifferent. Only one kid expressed dislike, but no one ate as much as they do when I just make "plain" cooked carrots with butter. I won't make it again. It didn't taste bad... just... eh.
     
  3. This was great!! I used fresh pineapple and everyone loved it!

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
