I arrived at Margaret's a little bit before noon. She was glad to see
me. (Nyah, nyah!) I phoned Saint Marcel and we made a luncheon date
for 2:00 p.m. When I was here earlier I'd intended to give a gift
and a photo of us to my favorite server, Mary, at the Second Avenue
Deli. I didn't. That was part of my goal today, apart from the good
eats there! Oy vey! Hushpuppadinisniki! Uffda! What food!

Because we wanted to sit in Mary's section, we had to wait a while for
a table (at 2:00 p.m.). Marcel arrived only a couple minutes after we
were seated. I gave Mary the picture of her and me (not a very good
picture of either of us) and a jar of my Gedney jam. Did I mention
that Hostess Lisa noted my State Fair medallion? (Yeah, I was wearing
it for Margaret's benefit and I'd forgotten about it.) She was
dumbstruck at the idea of someone making their own jam "with pectin
and the little jars and the hot water?" The very same. She was
nearly beside herself when I showed her the jar I'd brought for Mary.

So we ordered lunch. Marcel and I had the chicken soup (no matzo ball
for him), Margaret had a glass of Merlot (imagine that), and I had a
plate of chicken soup also. These were the starters. Marcel and
Margaret had tongue sandwiches on seedy rye, and I had half a pastrami
sandwich on seed rye. That was our order. Did I mention the half
sours, pickled pepper, and other pickles? I didn't? Those come on the
table along with the famous health salad - basically oil-free
coleslaw. Pretty tasty stuff. We're having some for brunch on
Saturday. I forgot to mention the basket of challah, rye, and challah
rolls. Silly me. Oh, then Mary brought the plate of chopped liver (a
half cup at least) with the sliced red onion and some olives.

Then she comes out with the egg barley and mushrooms, and some kasha
varnishkas. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, do I look undernourished??
Hardly. "Oh, you've got to try this; it's delicious." I've been
there three times -- she calls me Barbara. She can't remember Marcel
and Margaret's names. Margaret convinces me that I must make a little
sandwich to take home from the leftover liver spread. I don't wish
to insult her. :-) I make a little sandwich. Mary asks if I've ever
had ruggelach. I have. Now I'm having more. Let me tell you, the
chocolate ruggelach is murder! Oh, my. "Here, let me wrap those for
you." She comes out with foil containers to pack up the sandwiches,
the kasha and the egg barley, the rest of the tongue, and the
ruggelach. Not just the ones she'd served, but MORE, fergodsake. So
Hostess Lisa wants to know if I've had their chocolate babka. Gee, I
haven't. "Here, you've got to try this." OK. Boy, is THAT stuff
good!! Not too sweet! "You liked the egg barley with mushrooms?
Have you ever had our mushroom/barley soup?" I swear I said I had but
she must have misunderstood because she disappeared for a moment and
came back with a small bowl of the soup. What could I do? Insult
her? Have her thinking that the Minnesota State Fair Jam Queen is a
hick? Mercy, I can't do that. I ate it. I had to. Lord, that stuff
is delicious.

We're set for supper -- and breakfast. You should be so lucky. :-P

I wonder what would have happened if I'd brought brownies. . . .

Now you gotta 'splain to folks how egg barley ain't barley... it's small egg
pasta... there's plain and there's toasted.

Maybe its just me, but I can't eat something that could lick me back. My
favorite treat at the 2nd Avenue Deli is a brisket sandwich on rye
bread with a side of kasha, a bowl of the chicken matzo ball soup, and
the freebies that Barb described.

favorite treat at the 2nd Avenue Deli is a brisket sandwich on rye
bread with a side of kasha, a bowl of the chicken matzo ball soup, and
the freebies that Barb described.

So, Barb - for a real treat, ask Margaret to haul you overe to Katz'
Deli. The DH and I met some other RFCers there in February (February?)
and I had the best pastrami on rye I have *ever* had. Hand cut chunks,
warm and to die for. It's also the deli where they filmed The Scene
from "When Harry Met Sally." heh heh

Hugs to Margaret for me, if you please.

Some folks just don't know what good is... all they can think of having from a
kosher deli is corned beef and brisket, brisket and corned beef... BORRRR...
ING! A fresh pickled tongue on club (not rye) is to die for, the fat end of
course, no one likes the lean/lick end except goyim.... the fat end does
'throat, not lick. And anywayz, for all yoose only know kosher delis from
visiting (means yoose know dreck), the best treat is kosher hard salami on rye,
with two toots mustard, a side of kishka mit a couple cherry peppers, and a Dr.
Brown's Cel-Ray. How many of yoose even know whats a toot mustard...

So bake brownies and go back tomorrow. You'll never

What do hillybillys know from Noo Yawk... Katz's Deli is strictly for the
tourists, a fraud, Katz's ain't a kosher deli.

You posted a question once, what to do with some sort of tiny little pasta
shapes you obtained. I forget how you obtained it, if you bought it or if
someone gave it to you. I told you to make farfel and mushrooms.

Remember?

Well...that's what you had that the 2nd Ave Deli calls egg barley and
mushrooms. Same thing.

Yum

I have the pasta...I think I need to make that this weekend.

Tourists don't care if it's kosher... they care about the
