Shabbat Menus

For lack of anything better to write about tonight, but in keeping with my custom of blogging when I have other writing to do, I will give my Shabbat guests (and the rest of you) a sneak peak at the food. Assuming I make it all in time.

Dinner

• roasted lemon-herb chickens (with celery, onions, carrots, and parsnips)


• roasted mixed potatoes and sweet potatoes


• green beans with herbs and tomatoes


• cranberry sauce


• perhaps a kugel contribution from a guest



• apple-cranberry crisp


• vanilla soy ice cream (bought)

Lunch

• persimmon and avocado salad



• dafina (this is an experiment for me)


• a mustard-less, vaguely Moroccan take on this chicken (in case one experiment goes bad, rely on another)


• something vaguely Moroccan again, involving green beans, because I bought a lot of them when the menu was fuzzy


• a kugel from the freezer, or else Thai-style quinoa - whichever I think will clash less



• chocolate cake


• strawberry sorbet (making this myself was a waste of time, I think) (and also possibly not the best option when the high will be several degrees below freezing

Ah, and rimonlimonana to drink, though unfortunately not with fresh mint.

It's possible that I should be either cooking or sleeping now. Or writing something other than a pointless blog post.
