As I understand it, 'taking challah' refers to setting aside a small amount of the dough as a sacrifice and applies to any type of bread, not just the eggy slightly sweet dough we all call challah. But that article doesn't explain that part very well, though I've read other articles that do.
So this is probably a case where the noun was appropriated from the verb.
I've seen those used at RibFest in Lincoln. When you have thousands of people eating messy ribs, you really need hand washing stations. Sadly, RibFest has been discontinued.
I've seen them make pizza crusts at Valentinos, they weigh out the crust, shape it into a ball, age it and then put it in a machine that turns out a perfectly round pizza crust. It can do different sizes by varying the amount of dough and there's a knob to control thickness so they can do thin crust pizzas with it, too.
I got a pie crust out of the freezer, not sure what kind of pie I'm making tomorrow yet.
There wasn't any toilet paper at the store when we went this evening, and not many loaves of bread either, though they still had hamburger and hot dog buns, and, it seemed, a lot of rye breads.
The ground beef area was emptied out, too, and I saw a lot of empty shelves in other areas, like dog food. But everything on our list was still available.
It won't be supper tonight, but I'm making a pot of chili. (It's best on day 2 anyway.)
We had French toast made from the Challah, with some really dark, nearly opaque, maple syrup.
My wife works with professors helping them with online instruction, she's going to be pretty busy the next few weeks. Nebraska has called off classes next week. The following week is spring break and then the rest of the semester will have all classes online.
When I went to the grocery store Tuesday, the checker was wearing surgical gloves.
I don't know enough about Jewish traditions to recognize mistakes, but I do notice some significant differences in ways various sites describe them, which may in part just be that they are relying upon different experts.
The Hamelman Challah recipe is pretty good, we gave away 2 of the 3 loaves to friends yesterday, they didn't notice much less mind the braiding issues.
Corned beef is something I prefer to buy from the deli, pre-sliced. I've made it a few times, but it is a lot of work and, frankly, not as good as the stuff from the deli.
Hand sanitizers haven't been proven to be all that effective against covid-19, good old soap and water is still better.
There was plenty of toilet paper at the stores when I was there a couple of days ago, too, but not last night. It doesn't take a lot of people to clean a store out of something if they start buying it in much larger quantities than normal. A friend of ours was at a different grocery store yesterday and she said people were buying it by the cart-full.
Our house has 6 bathrooms, so we tend to buy 2-3 packages at a time in normal times.
I went to the grocery store this evening and they were basically out of toilet paper. I didn't check for things like hand sanitizer, but I suspect it was in low supply as well.
Fortunately, the things I was looking for were not in short supply.
We could eat out of the freezer and pantry for quite a while, too, though the menu might get kind of boring without fresh fruit, vegetables, meats and dairy. But I think we could make sure we get all 9 essential proteins and other important nutrients.
