KCC During the Omer
In introducing this edition of the Kosher Cooking Carnival (KCC), I want to talk briefly about the Omer and roots of Judaism in agriculture. From Passover to Shavuot (7 weeks) we count each day. In the days of the Temple, barley was the first crop to be harvested. An omer of barley was offered each day at the Temple. Anyone have a recipe for barley bread? On the 50th day, wheat was offered, as the wheat harvest had begun.

Mrs. S. says
Gorgeous picture, wonderful job, and thanks for the link!
Miriyummy says
Thanks for including my posts, and for also putting up that picture of my mom and her older brother and sister. My parents never managed to save any of their pictures and we had to rely on the few that were sent to relatives abroad before the Nazis hit their communities. That's the only picture I have of my mother prior to 1939.
Miriyummy says
BTW, you did an excellent job, and I'm going to snag that gorgeous picture of green wheat for my desktop at work.
Mimi says
Lovely roundup of kosher food links, Ilana-Davita - and thank you for the link.

Sorry, Leora - I'm so absent-minded it's not funny.Thank YOU for the link, and the roundup was excellent.
Ilana-Davita says
This is a great edition of KCC and the top photo is stunning. Thanks for including my links.
Batya says
Leora, thanks for the wonderful and tasty KCC!
Laura says
Great roundup (I love how you included some photos), and thanks for the links. Now you have me obsessing over barley bread (I'm sure there is a recipe somewhere online . . .). I'm also thinking about a barley and/or wheat berry salad for Shavuoth now . . .
Leora says
When you find them, Laura, please post the recipes. And then send the links for the next KCC. I used to make a wheat berry salad - I think it was in Moosewood Cookbook. A friend came up with a pareve version by using tofu instead of cottage cheese.
Rayna Eliana says
What a stunning photo...so serene and lovely.
Great job on this, Leora!
Please leave a comment! I love to hear from you.
