We’re a year & a half into this virus. Are we going to hear for every variant how they couldn’t have known ?
On the contrary.  They could have known.  And they did know.  And they even told us. 

Ever since the vaccine became widely available, we were told that we should all vaccinate, even if we felt we would easily recover from an infection, because when more people are infected, the virus has more chances to give rise to a new variant, and some of those variants would spread more rapidly and/or cause more virulent disease. 

They couldn't have known which ones of the myriad variants would be dangerous, but they could and did know that dangerous variants were possible in an unvaccinated population.

Poor @biobook, joins DDF, helps out loads of people, provides thoughtful, sensitive insights into many conversations, and still can't get a simple cholent recipe that she's been asking for for months

Thank you for pointing that out.

While I can't help with the actual recipe, I know that the key is in the "kishke" that's in it. I believe onions are diced and fried and then mixed (along with the oil, iinm) with flour, eggs salt and pepper (and possibly other spices, and maybe even a touch of soup mix - aka MSG, I really don't know). Lots of beans, a nice amount of barley, and some potatoes, salt and pepper and cook to perfection.

@biobook I'm Sorry I can't come up with the actual (exact recipe), but @Yehuda57 gave me such a guilt trip, that I had to do something to express Ahavas Yisroel, especially at this time of year.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Thank you!  I feel like saying "Happy Nine Days!" although maybe that's not appropriate. :D
I have tried frying onions, but it seemed that their flavor was diluted once the rest of the ingredients were added.  I can see now that sequestering the fried onions in a separate kishke would maintain their flavor during cooking, and that flavor would be released once the kishke is cut and served.  Will give it a try.  Thanks again!

We are a society ruled by laws. By your definition, there is no freedom ever, for anything.

Avdus LeChierus didn't bring us to a place with no obligations....

Less chance of catching covid from someone?
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half
