So this is the Spinach Kugel from 'nomicon. It was good, but probably not great enough for me to make again. Aside from the fresh taste of dill, it was fairly bland. I kept expecting more creaminess out of it, too. Ken and I agreed that it tasted much better with a dollop of Tofutti Sour Cream.
Behold, the blurriest casserole photo ever (sorry, camera trouble):
The noodles are orange because I used these.
I'm not too dissappointed in though, as it's fairly healthy and lower-fat than I would normally make a casserole.
Oh yeah, there's that. We are trying to eat healthier. I've gained more than 30 pounds in the past year, which has put me in an uncomfortable "overweight" status. So less sweets, more exercise! Yippee. No, I haven't been running as much, but we are going back to the gym instead. The gym machines are easier on my knees than the asphalt.
So I've been trying to think of things other than baking sweet treats and cooking comfort food. here are a few of my favorite diversions of late:
Fido on DVD. Second best zombie satire I've seen. It's so perfectly goofy!
Free Rice. Man, I love vocabulary teasers. It's the only smarty-pants thing I'm good at. But I have yet to beat my score of 41. It's driving me nuts.
Stuff on my Cat. Do I even need to explain this one?

i'm with you on the less sweets more exercise. Although I say less sweets, more sweat. the casserole looks yummy. I'd have to skip the spinach as spinach and me aren't friends lately but i love me some noodle casserole.
I need to follow your example and try and eat fewer sweets. There just always seems to be an excuse to indulge!! Plus I have not been exercising, very bad.
I love how v-con has introduced me to dishes I've never heard of. Kugel is one of them... sure looks good!
"I need to follow your example and try and eat fewer sweets."
....wow, no one has said that to me, ever. It's like I'm in another dimension or something!
I talk a good talk, but I'm really on a one way trip to diabetes-town. ;)
Hmmm I don't think I've ever had a kugel either, but it looks good.
I LOVE freerice.com! It's addictive, AND it helps others! What more could you ask for?! My inner grammar nerd is very hapy to have found this site hehe.
i always found kugel to be bland so i guess i'm getting kicked out of the jew club. i'm all about latkes though.
less sweets? NOOOOOOOOOO!
"Kicked out of the jew club" Ha. Well, maybe the kugel is supposed to be bland, then. So I didn't mess it up!
