Samosas are a fried pyramid-shaped dish filled with onions, potatoes, cheese, peas, beef, lamb, or any of a myriad of other fillings options. They are generally eaten as appetizers...and extremely popular in India, Egypt, South Africa, and the Middle East. Dessert samosas could also be on the menu too with sweet fillings such as cinnamon cheesecake, mango, or Nutella and coconut. After eating samosas, the Spanish tweaked the recipe a little and created empanadas....in Eastern Europe they created the Pierogi, Gyoza in Japan and cornish pastry in England. You can certainly try to make your own at home...but you'll mainly find them at Indian restaurants or in the freezer section at the grocery store.
Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
On Shabbat (and Yom Tob), fulfilling the daily requirement of reciting 100 Berachot is more difficult than on weekdays, due to the fact that the Amida prayer on Shabbat consists of only seven Berachot (as opposed to the weekday Amida, which contains 19 Berachot). As discussed in previous installments, the Poskim have proposed several different strategies for reaching the required total of 100 Berachot. Amidst this discussion, the Poskim addressed the question of whether one may intentionally delay dessert during the Shabbat meals until after Birkat Ha'mazon in order to facilitate an additional Beracha. If dessert is eaten before Birkat Ha'mazon, one does not recite a separate Beracha Aharona over the dessert, because it is covered by Birkat Ha'mazon which is recited over the entire meal. (One does recite a Beracha before eating dessert, as the dessert is separate from the main meal and is thus not covered by the Beracha of Ha'mosi recited over the bread.) Thus, by reciting Birkat Ha'mazon before dessert, one puts himself in a position where he would need an additional Beracha – the Beracha Aharona after dessert – which could help him reach the required total of 100 blessings. At first glance, this practice seems improper, as it falls under the category of "Beracha She'ena Sericha" – an unnecessary Beracha. Halacha does not allow intentionally arranging a situation that necessitates a Beracha that would otherwise not be needed. We might therefore assume that one should not recite Birkat Ha'mazon before dessert for the purpose of facilitating an additional Beracha. However, the Shela Ha'kadosh (Rav Yeshaya Ha'levi Horowitz, d. 1630) writes that the effort to reach 100 Berachot on Shabbat qualifies as a legitimate need, such that facilitating an extra Beracha is acceptable. Although normally Halacha would not allow intentionally arranging a situation that requires an additional Beracha, this is allowed if one's goal is to ensure to fulfill the obligation of 100 daily blessings. This view is taken by several other Poskim, as well, including the Elya Rabba (Rav Eliyahu Shapira, Prague, 1660-1712) and the Erech Ha'shulhan (Rav Yishak Tayeb, Tunisia, 1786-1830), and this is the ruling of Hacham Ovadia Yosef. Hacham Ovadia adds that one should preferably not bring the dessert to the table until after Birkat Ha'mazon in such a case, so he does not recite Birkat Ha'mazon with the dessert right in front of him at the table. Additionally, Hacham Ovadia emphasizes that this is allowed only on Shabbat and Yom Tob, due to the challenge of reaching a total of 100 Berachot on these days. On weekdays, when one naturally reaches 100 Berachot by reciting the required daily prayers and Berachot, one should not intentionally facilitate an additional Beracha. Summary: If one is concerned that he might not reach the obligatory total of 100 daily Berachot on Shabbat (when the Amida prayer consists of only seven Berachot), he is allowed to facilitate additional Berachot by reciting Birkat Ha'mazon before dessert at the Shabbat meals, such that he must recite a Beracha Aharona. If one does this, he should preferably ensure to recite Birkat Ha'mazon before the dessert is brought to the table. This may be done only on Shabbat and Yom Tob, but not on weekdays, when it is relatively easy to reach a total of 100 blessings.

Huzzah! It's peach season in Ontario. That means luscious peach pies, cobblers or the simple pleasure of eating a ripe peach over the kitchen sink.

Welcome back to a new season of The Real Dish! I'm your hostess with the mostess, Chef Mareya, The Fit Foodie and I'm here to dish up real food for thought on how to live well and thrive - especially in midlife. If you described the way most people live in the U.S. to someone in the south of France or the heart of Madrid, they'd probably blink at you in disbelief. Early dinners eaten standing up. Everything low-fat, sugar-free, gluten-free. Coffee in to-go cups. Eating alone at your desk. Skipping meals to “save calories.” Grinding all day, wearing stress like a badge of honor. Now picture the opposite: People eating dinner at 9 p.m. Sipping wine—yes, daily—and enjoying it. Devouring flaky croissants, creamy cheeses, and fatty jamón without guilt. Dessert? Absolutely. Smoking? Still a thing for many (not endorsing it, but yes—it's still culturally embedded). And somehow… they're not just surviving. They're thriving. The cafés are full of older adults laughing, walking arm in arm, climbing stairs without complaint, dancing in plazas, and frankly looking damn good doing it. It made me stop and ask: How are they doing it? How are they aging well despite what we've been told are the "bad habits"? It turns out, they've cracked the code. Not by following food fads or counting macros, but by living in rhythm with their bodies, their communities, and their culture. So today, I want to break down the Top 5 Lessons I learned from this life-changing trip—lessons that I believe can radically shift how we think about aging in midlife and beyond. Whether you're 35 or 65, this episode is for you if you're ready to live better—not just longer. So let's dig in!

Care for a game of charades, dearest listeners? Bridgerton rules, everyone. After a couple more rounds on the chaise, we're taking the carriage across the park to finish up our S3E5 Part 2 rewatch before the clock runs out. Um. The clock of life, of course. With the Queen back on her fruitless hunt, we'll be snacking on biscuits with a hungry Pen, shirking Colin's gaze all evening and chasing a suspicious streak of mud with a phantom-to-be. While Kate outdoes herself at the Polin engagement party, we'll be inviting ourselves over for macarons, riddles and-- LILIES. FORGET-ME-NOT. LILACS! (No, Anthony. Dessert.)And as the clock approaches midnight, we'll be gasping for breath as we wait to see if the intellectual genius of the group will finally reveal herself. Time will surely tell, dear listeners. So let's raise a toast to muddy boots, atrocious riding and to knowing each other fully.

Got leftover rice? Don't toss it! We're transforming it into the ultimate cold summer treat – pure dessert magic!
On today's episode of the podcast, you're in for something a lot sweeter than normal... because well it's The Ultimate Houston Dessert Draft! Listen as Eric, alongside Local Foods Group's Chelsea Thomas, the Hangry Houstonian Danielle Dubois, Fluff Bake Bar's Becky Masson, Underground Creamery's Josh Deleon, and Heights Grocer's Mary Clarkson attempt to craft the best dessert lineup. The drafters will be selecting a lineup of 6 desserts in total withe each drafter making one selection in each of the following categories: cookies, cake, frozen, pastries, tableside, and a wild card. For the tableside category, drafters may select any dessert that is either prepared or finished at the table. That means lit on fire, sauced, scooped, sliced, etc. For the frozen category, all forms of ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, bingsu, kakigori, shaved ice, sno balls, etc. are available. The wild card category is any additional dessert that hasn't already been selected. The Draft Rules Rule 1: No drafter may select the same restaurant/bakery twice. For example, if a drafter selects Fluff Bake Bar for cookies they may not also select it for their frozen or cake categories. Rule 2: Once a restaurant/bakery has been selected for a specific category, no other drafter may select it in that same category. For example, only one drafter will get to select Underground Creamery for the frozen category or Fluff Bake Bar for the cookies category. Rule 3: Drafters may select menu items served at any restaurant, bakery, bar, or food truck in the Greater Houston area. Which is roughly defined as being within the bounds of the Grand Parkway. Rule 4: Snake draft format. The draft order will go one through six in round 1 then go backwards six through one in round 2. Rule 5: Categories may be selected in any order.
