This has been an extremely long week. Here's the rundown, some of which you already know, some of which you don't.

Abandonment (Revisited)As you all know, Seth left early Sunday morning for Anaheim. It sounds like he had a good time, learned a lot, and saw some old (and new) friends. I'm glad he had a good time, but boy am I glad that he's home ( Read more... )

Last Shabbos was very nice. I can't entirely remember everything we had, but we did have good company. Daniel, Harold, Becky, Aaron, Alan (H's father), Jo, Cary & Nathan. All in all quite nice, if somewhat heavy on the Y chromosomes.

I think we had:

• Challah
  
• Baked Gefilte Fish
  
• Garlic Tofu Dip (it's been a while)
  
• Chicken Schnitzel
  
• Rice ( Read more... )

I still haven't posted the menu from last shabbos and I'm not sure I can remember all of it, but I wanted to capture it here just in case. I still don't know what I'm cooking for tomorrow.

Last Friday evening we had the Friedmans (with Adir), the Soboroff/Friedrichs (with Avi), and the Abensons (with Nathan!), plus us, of course. I served:

I'm 300 entries behind in my friends page; I think it's a pretty fair bet that I'm just plain NOT going to catch up. If I missed something amazing, please let me know.

Shabbos was very nice, and fairly simple. We had beckyfeld, osewalrus, beckys_mom,beckys_dad, psu_jedi, caryabend and nathan_abenson. Having made a whole lotta challah for shaloch manos, I had plenty of dough for fresh challah, so I was able to do ( Read more... )

Shabbos was a little weird for me. We were planning on lunch guests and I wasn't feeling terribly well, and since psu_jedi and caryabend were not able to come (due to the new, exceedingly cute baby!), I decided I wasn't up for dinner guests Friday night. So it was just Seth and myself for dinner. We ate challah, curried tuna salad (SO YUM!), green beans, and ( Read more... )

We are having a small gaggle of people over tonight:

• Robin & Mark
  
• Lisa & Steve (and their two kids Alan and Michal)
  
• Lisa's friend Jen
  
• Stevie & Daniel (and their baby Adir, but he won't be consuming my food)
  
• Possibly Stevie's brother, but I'm not certain.

Lisa is a vegetarian. Robin won't eat cooked tomatoes and also has a chicken aversion ( Read more... )

I am making dinner for:

• Friedmans (3 people)
  
• Felds (4-5 people? not sure if Greg will be eating) only making side dishes; leahmiriam is making chicken and kugel, I'm taking care of the rest.
  
• Us & Company (9 people give or take a few)

So far I have made:

• BBQ Brisket in crockpot for Friedmans. Can't do part two of the brisket cooking until right ( Read more... )

JulianJulian is sick. Great timing. If he just had a cold, it would be no big deal. But he has conjunctivitis. This means if he's not better by tomorrow, I can't go to shul, because I can't leave him in the babysitting program. DRAT. I am hoping that Julian is not symptomatic tomorrow, in which case he can safely go to the babysitting at the ( Read more... )

Well, I didn't have any clue what we were having for shabbos dinner but I seem to have worked it out. I even baked challah again tonight! Go me. I feel all inspired and stuff. The only bad thing is that last Sunday, while making acorn squash with maple syrup and butter for Seth, I burnt the back of my hand. Badly. And mid-challah braiding, I ( Read more... )
