Menu Plan Monday #33: 1 Kislev, 5771

Why the weird dates? Click here to find out!
Other “weekly challenges” 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, read my MPM intro here which tells you all about who we are, or just visit my super-duper-list-imization of Everything We Eat.

On Wednesday, I will announce the winner of the “Kosher by Design Teens & Twenty-Somethings” cookbook in my “Cooking Disaster contest.” Click here to read all the exciting contest entries!

Sunday (tonight): I have no idea what we’ll eat… and my mother is out at the Royal Winter Fair, so she’s not cooking. ~~This does not bode well; it could be pizza or something similarly horrible.~~ Okay, I am making Alton Brown’s Butternut Potato Dumplings (but don’t use the recipe from the site because he has adapted it in his new book, Good Eats: The Early Years, which I happen to have from the library at the moment). He tosses these “gnocchi” with brown butter and sage – totally simple and hopefully elegant!

Monday (Ted off, Royal Winter Fair): Easy supper. Wheaty Spelty Bread, Take 2! What else???

Tuesday: Turkey sliders from Kosher by Design – one last test before my review! Plus, evening: make beef broth for Wednesday night stew

Wednesday: Beef stew made with AB’s beefy broth

Thursday (Ted late, Vegan Vursday): Scallion pancakes, maybe this sauce, something else w/veg/tofu/soup???

Friday (super-early Shabbos): Dunno!

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 o...
