Shavout starts tonight at sundown and the Russ & Daughters kitchen is cooking lots of fresh blintzes, perfect for the occasion. (On this holiday, it is customary to eat dairy food and desserts.)

Stop by Russ & Daughters to pick up our Homemade Blintzes – light crepes filled with a sweet mixture of fresh farmer cheese, cinnamon, and sugar.

I had two for breakfast and, I admit, sort of want one for lunch too.  These blintzes are great warmed up and topped with a bit of sour cream or creme fraiche, or even a touch of fruit preserves.
