(Kosher) Menu Plan Monday #21: 23 Tammuz, 5770

Why the weird dates? Click here to find out!

We are a Jewish family of 6 (2 parents, 4 kids) and all our meals are kosher.

Newcomers, you can read my MPM intro here which tells you all about who we are and what we eat, or just visit my super-duper-list-tastic itemization of Everything We Eat (as well as the rest of this blog, of course). 

We ate so well last week!  Wow!  This week, I want to make a double batch of no-knead bread dough so that I will have two nice artisan boules to take to our two (!) bris hosts on Wednesday.

Also, with temps in the high 30’s all week, these are easy suppers, with NO SOUP on the menu!  And hopefully at least one BBQ.

queens 028Monday:  No-knead bread, very basic pasta & sauce.  Postscript:  Yay, we had a power failure but thanks to menu planning, the show went on with grace and aplomb.  Well, we had to use the downstairs (gas) oven for the bread, and the thermostat is wonky so it burnt and set off the (battery-operated) smoke detector.  But still – yummy!

Tuesday (Ted’s off day):  BBQ – what?  Maybe homemade hamburgers, maybe steak. Nope, salmon!  Ted did it all by himself because I was exhausted from seeing the Queen.

breads 011 Wednesday (Ted’s late day, 2 brisses):  Pan-fried Salmon and couscous Nope, BBQ again! Hamburgers this time. Amazing, homemade ones!  On amazing, homemade sprouted-wheat BUNS.

Thursday (Vegan Vursday!):  Curry supper with storebought marinated curry tofu, naan, rice

Friday:  Dunno!!!

Okay, I’m done.  What a relief!

Michelle from Lionden Landing posted today how much she hates doing menu planning.  Well, me, too.  It is certainly a tedious way to start the week.  So Mondays (or Sunday nights) are grim until it’s done.  The trade-off is that it has made the other days of the week SO easy!  So until further notice, Menu Planning on Monday it is.

  1. Sounds like a great menu plan!

  2. Since we had salmon and sushi on Tuesday, perhaps we can have home-made burgers tonight?

  3. I think I'll swap today and tomorrow and do vegan tonight, meat tomorrow. Too hot and tired to think, though.

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area.  :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke.  This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!).  I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion.  Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal.  Official information follows.  :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
