Apples on the kitchen counter.

 

Let's face it -- life is different now.  This can mean many things for many people.  Some of us are skipping back a few generations and pulling out the old canning kettle-like pots with their black and white specked enamel others are whipping up high powered deals at the speed of light in the office.  Whether you're home canning, home-schooling, working a job or two, life is different and sometimes not only is your time worth it but the food out there is worth it.  So for the holidays we often choose to make some and buy some.

I'm heading over to Hi Rise to pick up some Challah tomorrow (as soon as it is ready - usually mid-day but perhaps earlier tomorrow).  I love their braided egg bread because it is not too sweet and the texture is divine.  It's springy and soft but with substance.  I might have to watch and learn their secrets one day.  

Then, it is off to Star Market to get a pack of matzoh ball mix from Streit's or Manischewitz matzo ball mix.  Somehow they just turn out better from the mix (just the balls not the soup).  The key is to handle them as little as possible when forming the balls and don't overmix then you'll have a light fluffy matzo ball instead of an oversized fishing weight.

Here are your options if you're looking to buy all or some of your Rosh Hashanah meal.  These are in random order or perhaps they are listed from closest proximity to my kitchen to beyond my local streets.

Formaggio Kitchen
Hi Rise Bakery
Petsi Pies (fresh apple pie anyone?)
Wilson's Farm  (plenty of apples, cider, cider doughnuts and honey)
Bakers' Best 
Verrill Farm

If you have a favorite place that also prepares food for the holidays, please leave a comment and I will add it to my list.
