Except for the dishwasher the staff seems to have been pretty stable for the
past few weeks.

Well, it's an open forum (as long as you don't get obscene) and there are those
......

 NB>> You remembered correctly... sadly, I am allergic to apples... sigh....

I posted the recipe to Married Ruth instead. It's one of my favourites.
Something about apples and eggs that just seems to ring my chime.

Oh, I will. I mentioned it during their follow-up call. But, I'll be sure to do
so next time, too, just in case it didn't get noted in my records.
 
 DD> I absolutely detest bananananas, and the allergy to wacky weed got me

 NB> No, being allergic to something one really likes really sucks...  ;(

 DD> How are you on apricots???

 NB> Apricots are fine.  :)

 DD> Title: Chicken w/Apricots
 DD> 1 1/4 c  Dried orzo; 8 oz.
 DD> 15 oz Can unpeeled apricot halves

 DD> 4    Chicken breast halves;

 DD> 1 1/2 ts Curry powder
 DD> 2 tb Olive oil
 DD> 6    Green onions

 NB> Looks promising...  :)   I can see adapting that somewhat... :)

      Title: Matzo & Cottage Cheese Kugel w/Dried Fruit
 Categories: Puddings, Cheese, Fruits, Citrus, Breads
      Yield: 6 servings

      1 lb Fat-free cottage cheese
    1/2 c  Plain nonfat yoghurt
      2 lg Eggs
      2 lg Egg whites
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/3 c  Sugar
      1 tb Fresh lemon juice
      1 ts Grated lemon rind
    1/3 c  Diced dried apricots
    1/2 c  Raisins
      4    Matzos
      2 tb butter; melted

  Preheat the oven to 350øF/175øC.

  In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs, egg
  whites, salt, sugar, lemon juice, lemon rind, apricots,
  and raisins.

  Soak whole matzos in a bowl of hot water to cover until
  slightly softened but not mushy, about 1 minute. Drain
  well. Cut matzos into strips about 3 inches by 1 inch. Add
  to cottage cheese mixture and mix lightly.

  Pour 1 tablespoon margarine into a 2-quart baking dish and
  brush a bit of the butter up the sides of the dish. Spoon
  the matzo and cottage cheese mixture into the dish.
  Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon butter.

  Bake for about 50 minutes or until set and top is browned.

  Serve hot or lukewarm.

  Note: The author suggests serving this for Passover as a
  milchig (dairy) main dish or can also be served as a
  dessert. In my family, this would have been served as a
  side dish as an accompaniment to a dairy meal. This is a
  nice low-fat version of a dairy kugel as many of the
  kugels of this type can easily have double the calories
  and almost twice the fat content. -- Judi Mae Phelps
