What Shall We Eat??? aka Menu Planning Monday

image Why the weird dates? Click here to find out! 

Other “weekly challenges” I have not been doing very regularly with since Pesach:

Welcome!  We’re a homeschooling Jewish family of 6 (2 parents, 4 kids) and all our meals are kosher.  Read my MPM intro here or just visit my big ol’ list of Everything We Eat.  We eat mostly vegetarian, with one vegan meal every single week – on Vegan Vursday, of course!

I haven’t done one of these in a while, but I’m doing my best to have a NORMAL day / week, and MPM is part of that.  Three kids are shouting in the background, so I consulted them for their faves.

imageSunday (yesterday) – Takeout burgers & dogs at Mommy’s house

Monday (today) – Barley bread and soup (roasted red pepper / black bean?)

Tuesday (Mommy & Abba out) – Homemade pizza (Naomi’s request)

Wednesday – Scooby-Doo pasta  (Elisheva’s request)

Thursday – Vegan “quesa”dillas / burritos? rice etc

Shabbos – Honey Ginger Baked Chicken & Rice (“Chicken & Rice” was GZ’s request and this isn’t quite it… maybe I’ll make it for him next week)

Hey, I’m done – that was easy!

(Burrito night – but then, after I took the picture, we heaped on cheese and sour cream!  What lousy vegans we are…)

(but the attractive shredded topping in the picture is grated carrots, not cheese – so you can’t say I didn’t TRY)

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
