(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.

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

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

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
