Sweet Food, Sweet Holiday

On Rosh Hashanah, we eat a lot of sweet food. After class this afternoon, I came home and helped my mom bake for our guests that were coming over later in the day. 

First, we made the kugel. My mom cooked the egg noodles.

She then added all of the necessary mix-ins including cottage cheese, raisins, cinnamon and eggs. 
Picture
She also added her crunchy corn flake topping (mixed with butter and cinnamon sugar) and then put it all in the oven. 
Picture
I helped her make a cinnamon apple cake from Cooking Light. She has made it before, and it's always been a hit. 
Picture
First, we made the cake batter. 
We then combined cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. 
We mixed half of the cinnamon sugar with a ton of chopped apples. 
Then, we added to cinnamon sugar apples to the batter. 
Picture
We mixed well. 
Picture
We may have each licked a spatula afterwards. 
Picture
We put the apple batter in a pan and covered it with the rest of the cinnamon sugar before putting it in the oven. 
We thought everything was under control, and then Cody found the perfect pile of animal crap in the back yard for play time. He rolled around in it and came back in the house covered in poop/vomit/something gross. It's beyond imagination to me why dogs do this, but I guess it's one of those things that sets us apart from dogs. 

Poor Cody had to get a bath...the day after he got groomed.

All clean now!

It's like nothing ever happened...
Picture
Our family arrived about an hour and a half later. We started with appetizers such as gefilte fish,
Picture
apples and honey
Picture
and challah. 
Picture
After mingling for a while, we sat down for dinner. We ate brisket, 
Picture
spinach cheese casserole (made by my grandma, who remembered eggs),
Picture
kuggel and also chicken and salad (not pictured). 
Picture
Dessert was homemade apple cake, 
Picture
my mom's apple cake
Picture
and chocolate coconut cake.
Picture
It was a great day for eating! I think I ate my weight in cake batter this afternoon. Geez. 

Libby stopped by tonight (and is spending the night here, along with her owner/my brother Jon!).
Picture
Rigley also deserves an honorable mention, because she's adorable and was so well behaved tonight. I'd add pictures of Mickey, but he runs away every time I point the camera at him. 
Picture
Happy, healthy new year!
