Shabbos Food Menu Plan Yay

Kids are back home and it’s an easy, easy Shabbos…

Here’s Ted, home today, concentrating on making Peach Nectar. The peaches soaked overnight, almost boiled for an hour, then squeezed to within an inch of their lives. Tons of patchke, but we’re at the height of peach season right now and “Peaches” is his middle name…

Here’s the Shabbos food!!!

Supper:

Challah – Auntie Sally’s recipe
Chicken Soup w/kneidlach
Mashed potatoes
Gravy
SNB (aka Shake n’ Bake) chicken
Corn
Green beans – from the garden, again, yay!
Spring rolls (storebought)
Homemade peach chutney from pulp left over from Ted’s peach nectar (see above)
Desserts

Lunch:

Meat sandwiches
NO cholent – too hot, phew, ugh
Cucumber salad (storebought, I dunno why because it’s easy and cheap to make)
Either potato or pasta salad, depending on which Elisheva decides to make
Desserts

Desserts:

Banana chocolate-chip cake (made by YM; fell in the middle for some weird reason!)
Blueberry buns by moi (mmm…)
Vla (pronounced Flah, recipe below) – frozen strawberry dessert

Vla – the Recipe:

6 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 pint (is that the small square tub) strawberries
1 tsp vanilla or lemon juice

Beat egg whites until slightly foamy
Add sugar, strawberries and vanilla/lemon juice
Beat on medium speed until strawberries are mostly all smashed
Beat on high speed high speed until firm peaks form
Freeze several hours before serving

Note: Vla contains raw eggs. If you are concerned about food safety or have a condition which causes immunosuppression, please use pasteurized egg whites. Risk of contamination here in Canada remains extremely low, and to reduce risk, always use fresh, clean eggs. Avoid cracking eggs on the edge of a glass or bowl because it a) creates shards that can get into your food, and b) drives the potentially-contaminated shell into the egg white. Instead, just tap the egg on a hard surface to create one crack, then pry it apart. End of dreary raw-egg lecture!

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
