Ima's
Goodies
INVOLVEMENT
SPONSOR A SOLDIER
A lot of our soldiers could use some personal support, whether it's through a gift basket of extra goodies to snack on or other items. Many times they run out of shampoo, deodorant or toothpaste. Everybody in the army is family so they all share with each other. Wet wipes always come in handy in this Middle East of humidity, dirt and dust. So you see, we do more than just cakes and goodies.
VOLUNTEER
Every week Ima bakes cakes and cookies for the soldiers and often she needs help on those baking days.
Contact her to see what day she will be baking next.
KITCHEN NEEDS
Everytime we go out to the bases or outposts we take approximately 35-40 cakes along with dozens of cookies and or muffins. I bake out of my own kitchen at home so it takes time to mix up and cook so many cakes at once and we use up a lot of flour, sugar, eggs and margarine because
"that's a whole lot of baking going on."
Question of the day,"Is this cake PARVE?"
In Jewish religious dietary laws you cannot mix meat and milk dishes, or eat one too soon after you've eaten the other. So that's where "Parve" comes in. When you cook "Parve" that means your recipe has no dairy products in it and you can eat a Parve dessert right after you have eaten that hamburger or if your on the army base, after your meal of schnitzel (deep fried crunchy chicken/turkey breast).So our cakes, cookies and muffins are all Parve.
FUN FACTS
Did you realize that almost everyone serves in the Israeli Army? Young men go in for 3 years and our young woman for 2 years. There are many different ways that our soldiers can serve in the Israeli Defense Forces.
