Rock-Bottom Shabbos Food

Our theme this Shabbos is “making do with what we have because there are no groceries to be had.” Luckily, we always have a TON of food on hand…

Supper:

Challah – small-batch Blender Challah (not as exciting as it sounds)
Soup
Chicken (Shake n Bake)
Homemade Farfel (second half of last week’s batch)
Corn
Desserts

Lunch: (dairy)

Jar gefilte fish.
Bowtie cottage-cheese kugel
Tabouli (will add tomatoes right before the seudah)
Desserts

Desserts:

Fresh Ontario Farmers-Market Strawberry Chiffon Pie (what a waste of healthy nice strawberries, but yum…!
Banana cake
Ted-made Strawberry/Rhubarb Crumble
Ruined Marshmallow Dessert (that’s what it’s called – RMD for short – after the time it turned out all ruined, for whatever reason I no longer remember)

Hey, look what I got for $10 at Value Village this week! Just the mixer and stand – no beaters. Which is perfect because I already HAVE three sets of beaters – meat, pareve and dairy. $10 (actually $9.99) might not sound like such a bargain, since they start at $15 new, but I have learned my lesson from my last cheap mixer, which, astonishingly, goes too FAST and sprays everything everywhere. The motor part comes off the base easily so you can use it hand-held, and I may return the base to Value Village. We tried it out a bit today, though, and it’s actually kind of handy…

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
