Dolphin Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I hope that it is okay that I started this. Nance I hope you are just busy with Christmas. This is from Christmas day 12/25- 12/31 I was wondering, should we call in just Acts of kindness. As they can be planned. We haven't done anything yet this week.

Debbi in Texas Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Today I took a buttermilk pie to the little elderly lady who lives next to the store where I work. Another employee brought a fruit basket. It great to be able to do something for someone and make their day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Thank you for starting this, Dolphin! I was just coming on to do so and feeling bad that I was so behind about it! I have just been busy over here with family and holiday stuff and so on! And yes I agree that "Acts of Kindness" would be a relevant title since they can be planned and not necessarily just "random" acts! This week so far we brought some goodies over to our neighbors. We had our final Hanukkah get together with my husband's brother and sister-in-law and niece and nephew and my mom last night (speaking of my mom, I also transported her here and back to her house as she doesn't like to drive at night). We made chicken soup and latkes for dinner, and for dessert I made a noodle kugel (which is a noodle pudding) and we brought some latkes over to my neighbor (they love latkes), and we brought them some of the noodle kugel to try, too). By the way, it was the very first noodle kugel I'd ever made and it came out really good! If anyone wants to try it out, here's the recipe: Noodle Kugel 16 oz package extra broad egg noodles 6 eggs 2 tsp vanilla 24 oz cottage cheese 16 oz sour cream 3/4 cup sugar 1 cup raisins 1 medium apple (I used a Honeycrisp apple) 1 stick butter cinnamon Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9X13 baking dish Cook noodles. Drain and rinse with cold water. Melt a stick of butter, then toss the noodles in the butter until mixed/coated. In large bowl, beat together eggs, vanilla, cottage cheese, sour cream and sugar until combined and slightly frothy. Stir in noodles and raisins. Peel an apple and grate it into the noodle mixture, stir, and pour mixture into greased pan. Sprinkle with as much cinnamon as you'd like and bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes until top is golden brown and egg mixture is set (I cooked mine for an hour).

NanceXToo Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I wish it would let me edit in pics but it won't, so here are two pics of the above-mentioned noodle kugel. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Mmm. You did an act of kindness, Nance, just by sharing that recipe with us.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) LOL Jean! :) I'm thinking of making it again to bring to a friend's house on New Years Eve as our contribution as everyone is supposed to bring a snack, appetizer or dessert type thing.

Dolphin Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 That looks so good. So far our only act of kindness has been staying at home and not infecting anyone else with the cold we all started coming down with on Christmas day.

joannqn Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 A family friend (kind of a godmother of sorts to my kids) is suppose to be coming over tomorrow. She'll probably have Christmas and/or birthday gifts for the kids. We're planning on taking her out to lunch to her favorite restaurant. I missed last week's post, but I spent an hour having a very nice conversation with an elderly gentleman at the coffee shop. I've been told he spends every evening there; he likes sitting by their fireplace and I happen to be occupying the other chair when he arrived.
