Menu Plan Monday #29: 27 Elul, 5770

Other “weekly memes” I participate in that may or may not interest you:

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.

Yes, it is now the 27th of the only month that doesn’t have Shabbos Mevorchim, the special Shabbos where we announce and bless the coming month. I guess because in Elul, it’s pretty obvious what’s right around the corner. Last week would have been Shabbos Mevorchim, which means this week is Rosh Hashanah – and GZ’s upsherin is less than 2 weeks away.

Just two “little” meals this week… three if you count yesterday’s:

Sunday: BBQ hamburgers @ Mommy’s

Monday: Mystery bread (discovered cleaning out freezer)… with… maybe veggie chili?

Tuesday: Chicken-sausage (discovered cleaning out freezer) (Ted must have thrown it away!!!!) "Old hot dogs in the pressure-cooker" risotto. (doesn't sound, or probably taste, as good as the chicken sausage would have, but I have looked EVERYWHERE and there's no trace of it!!!)

Rest of the Week: See the official Rosh Hashanah 5771 Meal Plan!!!

It’s great having so much room in the freezer now (though I promptly filled it up with challahs and honey cake)!

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
