Food 4 Thought
In classical Jewish thinking, there is a series of prohibitions against cooking, eating and even benefiting from the mixture of milk and meat. Why?

Meat represents a kind of death energy.They are two separate domains and it would be inappropriate, as well as metaphysically unhealthy, to mix the force of life with the force of death.

I made the viral custard toast Jewish by using leftover Shabbat challah (I’ve used a cinnamon swirl loaf!) and added tahini to my custard mixture for a nutty taste that you just can’t beat. Simpler than French toast, this is the perfect weekend brunch recipe you’ve been searching for.

Did you know that the stages of bread production - planting, harvesting, winnowing, threshing, etc - represent the painstaking process of acquiring wisdom? It takes a long time to cultivate (and ultimately enjoy) a new idea. Get more Jewish food thoughts here.
