A More Special Friday

in #marketfriday5 years ago

Today is Friday. The day when many of us are accustomed to sharing their shopping experiences. Not necessarily to buy but to see what can be bought. We don't allow everything, of course. Unfortunately, we are getting less or less needed. Perhaps it is better if we consume less and thus contribute to saving the earth. For our children in particular.

Today is Friday. A more special Friday. To explain why I think it is so I have to say a few things about myself. I am from Romania, Eastern Europe. At this moment I live in two cities, in Iasi and Bucharest. Alternatively, of course. A few months in a city and a few days in the other ...

Today is Friday. A more special Friday. Here's why... Romania is a Christian, Orthodox country. This year we have Easter celebrations a week later than Catholic Christians. A problem of calendars and old misunderstandings.

I would like to talk more about this great celebration of Christians. I do not think I could do better than these great artists did: singers, composers, movie makers! A fragment of Jesus Christ Superstar.

Everything I've written so far and what will follow is for #marketfriday and Denise, better known as @dswigle.

Now I want to tell you a story. I say it as I know it now, I may be making mistakes, but I want to say it as I know it and I do not want to call on Google to check it out. Many think it's not a story ...

Several thousands of years ago, in Egypt. The Jews were slaves and Moses, their leader, tried to free them and organize them to flee to their country. Ramses, the pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, of course, didn't want this, and he was opposed with all his might. It is said that the Lord who wanted the deliverance of the Jews told Moses to command the Jews that each family sacrificed a lamb and blood to color the pillars of their homes. Thus the Lord, who will kill all the newborns of men and animals that night, will know where the children of the Jews are and don't kill them. Thus the lamb's sacrifice saved the Jewish children.

So, after thousands of years, we continue to thank the lambs for this sacrifice. Sacrificing them every year!

A kind of lamb dish. In Romanian it is called "drob".

This presentation is made only as an example of preparation and not an exact recipe. So I prepare this "drob" and it's the result of the shopping made on the market. A too crowded and messy market so I can show it here. Denise knows, in the past I used to look first at the market and then use the ingredients bought to cook something. Now I will only show the second part.

We use lambs: heart, lung, kidney, liver and many vegetables: onion, dill, garlic, parsley and mushrooms. Salt, oil and pepper. Eggs and butter.

The lamb

The organs of the lamb are boiled in salt water. Then cut into small pieces ...

Vegetables and greens

Mushrooms cut into small pieces. Green onions and green garlic sliced. Dill, the same.

Just mix everything. First, the vegetables are put in a pot, add oil and fry them a little.

From now on you will have to believe me ... I forgot to take pictures at this stage of cooking. Because I was doing a lot of things at the same time and it was only late that I realized I had not photographed.

So, it was still so ... I mixed lamb with vegetables, I added butter and eggs. I mixed well and put it in the oven. That's the result. I cannot show you what it looks like on the plate because we will not eat it until Sunday.

I'm sorry if I did not manage to present the recipe so well that whoever wants to try it. I hope you will notice that this is not the message and the meaning of this blog as I wanted to do it.

I wish Happy Holidays and a bright Easter to all who have celebrated already and to those who are going to celebrate.

Let's hope Everything's Alright

I am so glad you got home to celebrate Easter there! It is a special Friday and I have never really questioned the differences between Orthodox and Catholic Easter before. I grew up with so many Greek people and Jewish people that it was just accepted that dates were different. I am sure once upon a time that it was all explained to me as I went to a Catholic school and they were religious about explaining those type of things, however, thank you for the explanation because now it is very clear.

I want to thank you so much for the different songs Jesus Christ Superstar, I think that I could have listened to that thing forever and ever and ever. I did see it on Broadway and it happened to be one of my favorite plays of all time. My parents brought us for Easter one year.

Growing up we always had lamb or ham for Easter dinner. Mostly lamb was traditional in my family. It's funny that so many people do not care for the taste of it, but it happened to be my mother's very favorite. I love the way you take us through the steps of cooking and I realize it's not always practical to add the market. And we have been to the market many times with you, so we know how you shop!

You are an absolute wizard when it comes to putting together a meal. I think when it comes down to practicality, I worry less about presentation and more about what it's going to taste like. If I always worry about presentation then something else seems to get lost. So I have never seen this recipe so I found it very interesting and I'm to give it a try because it is very different than how I prepare my lamb. Of course to be honest I mostly do a roast or lamb

You presented the recipe and very well and I promise you that I will try it. I realize that this is not the message. I wish you a very happy Easter and thank you again for taking the time and effort to photograph and put this post together. You always do an amazing job and I look forward to seeing your posts.

#MarketFriday loves you!

Thanks a lot. I will respond later to this wonderful comment. Now I just want to say that @bluemoon loves #marketfriday!

Thank you! You always provide the best! If you don't get a chance, never worry. This is for fun and no stress is allowed, if we do allow it, then it becomes a job.

If you have time and energy, if not. Another day.
