Knishin'

B woke up early and took Mil to an appointment, while I got up around 7:15, showered, made Edie's lunch, woke her up and fed her breakfast, got dressed, got Edie dressed, collected our stuff and got Edie on the big bike and got her to school on time in the rain. Got home and just went to work. Momma-in-law and B came back with the baby and spent some time, which was very helpful in letting me focus, and when they split, knishes were in the oven and I was already winding down in anticipation of picking up Edles.

Still feel ill -- headache, stuffy nose, sore throat -- but pushing it out of my head and focusing on getting the project done somehow made my whole being feel better. Rallying for a palpable goal which has a very real result -- a whole mess o' knishes.

TODAY'S COOKING
Knishes: Boiled potatoes, mixed potato onion and spinach roasted garlic fillings. Cooked up a huge pot of kasha onion filling. Before leaving to pick up Edie, cooked off 36 potato and 36 spinach, got the kitchen in sane order. After we got home out of the rain, cooked off 36 kasha knishes and a couple dozen sweet knishes.

Got a gallon each of each potato-based filling and two large runs of dough in the mini-freezer, so hopefully when i need to make another 100 pieces, they'll defrost well and there will be little drama and wasted time in pumping that out. (Kasha filling in quantity only takes 20 minutes in two stove-top pans, not a big ordeal of peeling and boiled and milling potatoes.)
