This has been one roller coaster of a week. We had most of the week with my hubby out of the country, but he should arrive home soon. We had a leaky roof repaired. We had the fiery death of the transformer so I need to buy some new kitchen gadgets. We found out about the death of my father's cousin. My sister had a baby girl. Another sister is making a bat mitzvah this weekend, but the family things are all 6000 miles away. The country was shocked by terrorist attacks. We celebrated our youngest child's loss of her first tooth. And more.
So it's been quite a week, and to be honest, I just want to go to sleep. But I will have to cook...
Still trying to stay out of the supermarket, so here's our pantry challenge Shabbat menu:
(I DID buy some sug bet produce this week, so we've got some sort of vegetable selection)
Challah from the freezer, probably
Split pea soup (with carrots and celery)
Spicy Roast chicken with rice
Vegetarian Fried Rice (for the vegetarian child)
Potato Kugel
Roasted Kohlrabi
Spicy Roast Sweet Potatoes
Butternut Squash (not sure how, roasted or kugel?)
Cucumbers and other veggies
Black Bean Cholent
Cake from the freezer for dessert
The clock change has made Shabbat afternoons really short, so at this time of year, we finish lunch and have dessert as seudah shlishit.
How do you handle short Fridays and long Friday nights?
