The US is current in the midst of a grastonomical wave with all kinds of magazines, books and TV from professional chefs and even all kinds of celebrities giving their culinary all. What if this fad turned for the political offering up what people describe as recipes that reflect the spirit of political leaders and runner ups?

The point of this is you can offer a recipe or just even the flavor of the dish along with the kind of establishment it maybe served in the ATL;)

I will start with Bibi's Buigele, based off a Cheese Beiguele (which means "small bread" in Yiddish) recipe from the not so present day cookbook The Foods of Israel Today by Joan Nathan. Recipe altered for humor, bake at your own risk.:p

Buigele come off as savory if not a tad sweet despite their abundant use of milk and honey. This can manage to work well for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Either way this Middle Eastern inspired dish is sure to please guests and fill them up satisfactory. Served reluctantly well with Tzipi Livni's Apricot Jam.

1. In food processor blend well 1 1/2 plus 1 tspn of all purpose flower (give or take) add 1/2 tspn of salt, 1/2 cup hot milk and 1/2 white vinigar.

2. Divide dough into into three promising peaces cover with plastic wrap and set aside as you have more important things to do.

3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease baking sheet throroughly for easy transition.

4. Beat 1 large egg in mixing vigorously until its yolk under your occupation completely collapses. Add 1 1/2lbs of cottage cheese (or cream cheese for smoother consistency), 1 tblspn of honey and 5 leaves (green part only) of scallions and a dash of zatar and sumac for that mid east flare.

5. On lightly floured surface roll out each ball of dough to a rectangle. Then spread the filling as strips lengthwise down the center of the dough. Fold the rectangles of dough lengthwise and roll up Rugelach style pinching the edges.

6. Place rolls seam down onto prepared baking sheet and cook for 1 1/4 hrs or until golden brown. After taking them out let tensions cool or simmer down a bit (not for too long) you slice with a serrated knife dividing evenly except the largest piece for your coalition of friends.
