Thanks Peter Meehan
...for letting the secret out on what may be the best pizza ever. We sampled the pizza once and it was devine, the crust perfectly charred and chewy, the sauce saucy, the cheese fresh and bubbly. And it's BYOB, my favorite 4-letter acronym. AND it's right around the corner. Why did Meehan have to spoil things for us in the neighborhood? He's also responsible for spilling the beans on the Red Hook Soccer Field taco scene. Ahhh I'm just jealous- he has a job I would love to have....anyhow, I've got other things to worry about, such as my kugel.
My kugel, you see, is stuck in its bundt pan. I made a pecan noodle kugel last night and after I let it cool, it would not release itself from the budnt pan! It was supposed to invert itself when I turned it over, like a pineapple upside-down cake, but it did not...what do I do???
I was not thinking straight when I made this kugel. I was at a fundraiser for a friend's upcoming volunteer trip to Peru and I ended up coming home later (and tipsier) than I anticipated. And now my kugel is having problems.
Why am I fretting over a kugel? I'm entering a kugel contest tonight, to be judged by Mr. and Mrs. Jew-U.S.A. This is not, I swear, the beginning of an anti-semitic joke. A friend of mine works at the 14th Street Y and is putting on an event called "The Kosher-Style County Fair" for Heeb Magazine, the magazine for hipster Jews. I was given two choices: make a kugel or enter the Hebrew National hot dog eating contest. I have some questions: Will my kugel good enough for these people? Or will it be laughed out of the room? Or might I...might I win a trophy? Do they give out trophies for Best Kugel? What if they find out the kugel was not, gasp, my Great Bubby's recipe, but something I found online?
