Kugel!

So, last night was the Temple Emanuel Mystery Dinner and it was GREAT.  The whole thing is a great event.  The family shows up at 4:30 PM.  The kids are whisked away, and the adults have fun dining on some appetizers.  And then the BIG reveal.  Some of us are hosts, and some of us are guests.  We have ranked dinners. . . (breakfast for dinner, Next Year in Jerusalem, Make Your Own Pizzas) and then we open our envelope.  We find out the address of the house, we drive there, and then we find out who is hosting and who else will be dining with us.

This year, I cooked at someone else's house. . . and our theme was breakfast for dinner.  There was OJ, white wine, kugel, homemade waffles, bagels, cream cheese, lox, veggies, fruit, maple syrup and whipped cream.

We had a great time.  I am already thinking of themes for next year (Chili 9000 or PASTA NIGHT).  Any ideas?

Here is the family kugel recipe.

Noodle Kugel

1 pound broad noodles

8 eggs (I use egg beaters)

1 c. sugar

1 carton sour cream (8 oz) (I use fat free)

1 stick butter, melted

1 8 oz carton cottage cheese (I use low fat)

1 TB Vanilla

Cheeses need to be at room temp.  Cook and drain noodles.

Beat eggs with sugar, sour cream, cottage cheese, melted butter and vanilla.  Pour drained noodles into mixture.  Pour whole thing into 9 x 13 Pyrex dish (sprayed with Pam).

Top with topping and bake 350 for one hour.
