I mixed the ingredients for the filling and fried the bletlach... but he was the one who filled and wrapped each blintze with loving care.</p>Delmar Bgoner commented on 'Say cheese'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0128762f7de9970c2009-12-08T09:01:24Z2009-12-08T09:01:24ZDelmar BgonerIn tipping hats to chefs, don't forget a wave to Gilad, whose efforts contributed to a lot of gastronomic delight....<p>In tipping hats to chefs, don't forget a wave to Gilad, whose efforts contributed to a lot of gastronomic delight. I will bear witness that those blintzes were so good that I ate way beyond a sensible man's capacity! The eggnog was pretty nifty, too. What a wonderful birthday celebration! Thanks, guys.

<p>Reminds me of the time, very early in our marriage, when my wife called me from work and asked how I was doing.</p>
<p>"I'm fine," I said. "I just cooked myself some spaghetti."</p>
<p>"What?" she said. "In MY POT??!!!"</p>
<p>Let's just say that was the last time that happened.<br />

<p>I owe it all to my mother-in-law, who graciously agreed to share her recipe. Even better, she made us a batch of those fine, fine blintzes.</p>
<p>Had Ya'acov Avinu been making those blintzes (instead of lentil stew) when hungry Esau came in from the fields, he wouldn't have had to demand that Esau sell him the birthright: Esau would have offered it right up front. And Esau's descendants would have been called Lavanim... </p>zahava commented on 'Say cheese'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a720f1f8970b2009-12-07T13:44:56Z2009-12-07T13:44:56Zzahava[resume normal speaking voice] Treppenwitz readers, if you like blintzes -- you should definitely go get Ellison's recipe!

<p>Treppenwitz readers, if you like blintzes -- you should definitely go get Ellison's recipe! <b>They were D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!!!!</b></p>
<p>On that account the man is NOT exaggerating -- if anything, he down-played the gastronomic success we all enjoyed!</p>zahava commented on 'Say cheese'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a720efe0970b2009-12-07T13:42:13Z2009-12-07T13:42:13ZzahavaSingle men can do that with impunity.

<p>Why, OH WHY?!, do you feel it enhances your image to play the role of the hen-pecked husband?!</p>
<p><b>Full disclosure:</b> me thinks the actuality of the kitchen clean-up went something like this:</p>
<p>[you] So.... you'll go get Mom and Dad Motza'sh while I whip up the blintzes?</p>
<p>[me] Okay, but you'll bring 'em home, right? Cause I can't drive after bourbon-laced eggnog....</p>
<p>[you] Right! And since <b>I am doing the cooking, al pi the agreement in our ketuba, YOU get to do the cleanup!</b></p>
<p>(which, with the exception of two cookie sheets and the cast iron skillet, I <b>did</b>!)</p>
<p>Of course, I might be living in a parallel universe....</p>
