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

Hi! 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.

Sunday (Ted off): Take out Howie T’s burgers @ Mommy’s, revive sourdough overnight

Monday: Superstore Chicken & roasted potato/carrots (note: buy slider buns for Wed.)

Tuesday (Ted late): Good sourdough bread, yummy soup – do I need to be more specific??? ;-)

Wednesday: Turkey sliders, Naomi’s request

Thursday (Vegan Vursday): Hot/sour soup w/homemade seitan – so amazing last time; veggie stir-fry, maybe peanut sauce and rice stick noodles?

Shabbos: I dunno!!

I wanted to include here – one of the biggest hits from last week: veggie pot pie, totally vegan and inspired by Amy over at Homeshuling. It’s basically my regular all-veggie stew (with tofu, but all I had was extra-firm silken (oxymoron?), so it came out kind of crumbly), baked in a crust.

I used a frozen crust for the bottom, but instead of Amy’s cobbler topping, whomped on this pretty homemade crust. Left out the nutritional yeast, but I must say – Tamari, mmm… I use it all the time for other things, but in this dish, it added just the right savoury note. I also used some red wine in the gravy, which was the most mind-blowing pareve gravy I’ve ever tasted.

Yummy! (it may not look delicious in the pictures, but believe me, it was!

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
