My blog has been up and running for a little less than two weeks. I’ve had over 600 views, and an average of 60 odd hits a day. Here’s my first attempt to find out who, besides my mother, is reading. Seriously, am I related to all of you?
So, it’s time for a poll. If you’re serving shabbat dinner tomorrow night, what are you having?
I’ll confess, I’m making an extremely simple and fairly un-shabbosdik meal. Purim was enough cooking, baking and entertaining to last for at least a whole week, and quite possibly until Peasch. So tomorrow night it’s black bean and corn burritos, and maybe a salad if I’m feeling really ambitious. I’m not bothering to post a recipe because it would read something like this: “Open can. Heat. Repeat.”
Please – don’t worry about making me look like a slacker, my fellow home-shulers. Post all of the delicious meals you’ll be making tomorrow.
Oh, and since I’m in lazy mode, I’ll let someone else provide most of the actual content for this post. Check out this great Jewish holiday Cheat Sheet from interfaithfamily!
Shabbat Shalom!
I’ll go first:
Nava Atlas’ leek, onion and goat cheese tart
The rest TBD,
depending on what looks good in the store,
and whatever the Sabbath Queen desires
Don’t worry, I’m reading your blog! I always notice your posts about it on Facebook.
I’m hoping my husband is cooking. What’s likely is homemade challah, chicken, potatoes and maybe brussels sprouts if he really likes me.
I love your blog.
Not sure how I connected toyour blog…hmmmm…maybe BabyCenter?
Dinner tonight:
challah
roasted whole chicken
roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes
something green (whatever is still alive in the vegetable drawer of the fridge)
salad
chocolate babkah for dessert
Quorn roast (a fake meaty thing in a fake sausage casing that I swear tastes like white turkey once you roast it)
Gravy (made with nutritional yeast. Sounds icky but is oh so good)
Mashed potatoes (with milk, since the roast is pareve)
Overcooked spinach
Green salad w/ Goddess dressing
Challah if I have time, cornbread if not.
I usually bake challah (I let my bread machine make the dough and then braid it myself), but this week I bought those little braided rolls at Stop and Shop because we have 2 weeks’ worth of leftover challah and bread pudding just isn’t that good for you, ya know?
And I’m making chicken enchiladas. And probably macaroni and cheese for the six year old, who doesn’t like *anything* if it doesn’t come straight from a box or can. My husband will probably make Spanish rice to go with it, but maybe not. We always have chicken on Shabbat night, and sometimes it isn’t even mixed with milk…
