Jewgel (Kugel)

קוגל aka Kugel, is the great Jewish side dish, or if you're hungry enough, are stuck at home, and too lazy to cook, it makes a decent meal. Although most Jewish mothers only make kugel for Pesach or other Jewish sounding words, my Jewish mother makes kugel for every holiday.

Kugel is an integral part of my family dynamic; it really brings people together. Kugel was the only thing brought my sister home from college and I expect on continuing the tradition. Kugel has meant a lot to my larger Jewish family, because all Jews are related (or act like it). Kugel reminds me of when I go to my aunt's house (who isn't really my aunt) and I get barraged with questions by my extended family (also unrelated to me). "Somewhere are you going to college? Are you married yet? Do you have kids? Did you meet that nice Jewish girl I was telling you about?"

Sounds like home.
