Kosher Menu Plan Monday #16: 12 Sivan, 5770

For newcomers, welcome!  We are Jewish and all our meals are kosher.  We have two sets of dishes (okay, we also have lots of pareve stuff for veg prep, bread baking, etc).  We all eat meat, chicken, etc., along with dairy.  I do try to offer one delicious non-animal-product-dependent meal each week, usually on Thursdays (aka Vegan Vursdays).

You can also visit my super-duper-list-o-mania of Everything We Eat (as well as the rest of this blog, of course). Thanks!

Well, I missed last week due to Shavuos, and nearly missed this week because we were BUSY busy busy with the holiday, out in the garden, fireworks, etc.  Yay – finally, a Victoria Day where the weather is actually nice enough to enjoy sitting on the beach taking in fireworks.

Sunday:  Take-out Ely’s Chinese food – too expensive and not very tasty… it was an experiment I will not repeat.

Monday (Tonight, aka Victoria Day):  Homemade pizza on not-baked-enough leather-tough no-knead crust.  Ugh.  Easily The Worst Pizza Ever.

petunia 002Tuesday:  Salmon quesadillas (inspired by Laura’s menu plan for this week, but I used fresh salmon, quick-pan-fried in butter & lemon juice), spring greens salad w/mango dressing

Wednesday:  BBQ coconut-marinated chicken on skewers (Ted’s request), rice, side veg

Thursday (Vegan Vursday, Ted’s Late Day):  Spaghetti w/fake meat sauce

Shabbos:  It’s too late at night… I’m not planning this now.

Yay… only four minutes into Tuesday and I’m done!!!

  2. You're going to be SO disappointed... it's just supermarket fake ground beef (Yves Veggie brand), mixed into a regular pasta sauce.
    I'm kind of disappointed in myself because we don't eat a lot of fake meat. We're not vegetarian, so generally, if I feel like meat, I eat meat. But dh wanted something a bit heartier than plain pasta sauce, and Thursdays are our "vegan night".
    I'm sure it will be yummy, though... at least I have real herbs from the garden that I can use now!

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
