We really need to get creative if we want to avoid those crowded malls. The gifts I'm about to suggest are really for the over-21 crowd. You're on your own for the chil- dren. Number one on my list is a gift membership to the Kosher Club. This organization offers dis- counts on travel, food and ac- commodations throughout the United States and Canada. Along with your membership, you receive travel guide books and listings of kosher restau- rants. They can also make arrangements for you to receive kosher meals anywhere in the United States or Canada. Call 1- 800-3-KOSHER for information. Number two is a beautiful wine carrier with a selection of kosher wines from your local liquor shop. There is an incred- ible selection this year and some unbelievable new varieties out. As always, they seem to be priced low enough so that if you want to get a few bottles for yourself you won't break the bank. My fa- vorite of the month is the Kess- er Niagra Blac. It's a little sweet but very smooth. Add a little chocolate candy and it's a perfect gift. Moving right along, number three is the gift of a "special" day. A day of beauty at a local salon, a visit from a house cleaning ser- vice, a lesson from a pro in a fa- vorite sport or even a day off where one spouse assumes all the responsibility of the mate. This "free" day is one of my fa- vorite presents. Number four is an evening out. Dinner and a show (I am not talking about a movie here) are guaranteed to bring out the smiles. Get some fancy paper, have everything written out in calligraphy and present it rolled up and tied with a ribbon. And finally, number five on my hit parade is caviar and all the stuff. At a recent kosher food fair in Chicago, I discovered a fabulous new line of kosher caviar (certified by CRC) that's available through mail order. It's called Carolyn Collins caviar. While I don't usually endorse products, this one is so great I just had to pass the information along. I'm including some of the recipes that Carolyn sends along with her products. This compa- ny is really a class act (to order call 312-226-0342 or fax 312-226- 2114; you must ask for the kosher caviar as not all the caviar they produce is certified). When all is said and done and the gifts are all exchanged, aren't you secretly glad that we only have to do this once a year? SMOKED SALMON ROLL UPS Using pre-sliced smoked salmon, carefully separate the slices and spread each with 112 t. of Absolut pepper and/or citrus caviar. Roll up the salmon and cut round slices. Place each round on a low-salt wafer and garnish with a spring of fresh cilantro and or dill. A few alfalfa sprouts on top of this is also nice. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • t a recent kosher food fair in Chicago, I discovered a fabulous new line of kosher caviar (certified by CRC) that's available through mail order.
