I can totally do a Shabbos just like Mom’s,with a bit of change-up for fun
It all began in July 2020, when my mother gave me a Man with a Pan article to read. From then on, I read every one… and the rest is history. My mother thought it was a great idea for me to try it myself, as long as I followed the rules (see below).
My mother loves reading cookbooks but never makes anything out of them(she only uses them “for inspiration”),so I decided to actually make some things from a cookbook. I considered making lime cookies for dessert, but Ibaked them on Chanukah and decid-ed that they are a big patchkeh to do together with so much other stuff, soI would make chocolate ramekins in-stead. Since my mother makes fish, cel-ery root, potato kugel, carrots, cauli-flower, and strip steak every Shabbos,I would do those also. Cholent seemed too complicated to me, so I decided to make flanken, which my mother servesevery once in a while for a change from cholent. I decided to add ramekins and maple chicken to make it more interesting and different.
