I had an absolutely nasty noodle kugel at Yom Kippur breakfast and need to wash my mouth out. l‘m looking for a not too sweet dairy noodle kugel that is solid and can be cut like bread pudding with no corn flakes, raisins, or chas vsholem pineapple. The recipes I’m finding usually have add-ins or look crumbly and not solid

Even better if the recipe is for a small amount or is easily halved. I live alone and will be eating it mostly by myself.

I’ve figured out that am more interested in writing style than plot lines in books which can make it difficult to get recommendations.

Three examples that I wrote down in my favorite quotes book. Intentionally picked for no spoilers.

“The room was perhaps the most homely, and at the same time the most elegant in the castle. There were no shadows lurking in the corners. The whole feeling was of a quiet and pleasing distinction, and when the afternoon sun lit up the lawn beyond the bay windows into green-gold carpet, the room with it’s cooler tints became a place to linger in. It was seldom used”

-Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake

“With more reverence than she’d given him credit for—he had just given a corpse an invasive massage and stolen his jewelry—Palamedes softly pulled the sheet back over the abdomen and legs of [spoiler]. He said quite gently: “We’ll get to the bottom of this one, if you give us a little time,” and Gideon realized he was speaking to the body.”

“As she stared out the window into the bluish blackness of light after a day, She heard a huge, overhead grinding sound: a big velvety pull of metal on metal, a rhythmic scrape. Gideon watched, paralyzed, as one of the very expensive shuttles fell hugely and silently over the landing platform: It dropped like a suicide and seemed to hang, gray and shining, in the air. Then it fell from sight. To its left, another; further left, another. The scraping ceased. Skeletal feet pattered away. Gideon fell asleep.”

-Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

Please help I have been disappointed by several books because of the writing style despite the fact that I know I would enjoy the plot.

Moving soon and will be living alone. All of the Shabbat recipes and ideas I see are for huge groups and I am struggling to figure out what to cook that won’t be weeks of leftovers even after I half the recipes.

Dairy preferred and no beef (allergy)
