Shabbos Menu (early?) for a change!

Supper:

~~Challah~~ (crossed out = done!)

Meatballs
Mashed potatoes
Roasted beets again bc they are SO good
Corn

~~Iced tea~~

Lunch:

~~Teriyaki Salmonoodles on udon noodles~~

~~Blintzes~~

Marinated 3-bean salad

That’s it so far…more details to be filled in as it looms closer.

It’s unlike us to be anything like prepared ahead of time, even for as basic a menu as this one. But this week is the Dennis Prager event, and apparently it’s starting early. In the end, the deal we got was a reduced price that would have included supper except we’re not bringing the kiddies and not prepared to have Shabbos dinner without them.

(my mother is having dinner there, so that’s one less person here)

So Ted & I will eat at home and then make our way to the shul. The secretary said they’re davening at 6:45, having entertainment at 7:15, supper at 7:30 and he’d probably be speaking around 8:00. Ted doubts very much that he’ll be speaking before 9:00, however, so the way we’re working it is that I will go at 8:00 – just in case – and he will stay here and put the kiddies to bed.

The catch is that Elisheva is away this weekend for her school’s annual Retreat Shabbos. I was counting on having her home to babysit. Still, YM will have to fill in, and probably – without distractions like the computer – he will do just fine. Basically, once the kids are in bed, he’s just here in case of fire. (Chas v’sholom, but we knew that already.)

In any event, if I want to be out of here by 8ish, we have to eat by 7ish which means making super-early Shabbos. Ted will have to daven at home and then we’ll eat straightaway afterwards.

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box: I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
