Easily the worst supper ever!

I don't even want to talk about it... I had SUCH high hopes. And it does look okay!

Wednesday:
~ Swiss Steak
~ Roasted cauliflower & garden beans (just a few tossed in so they wouldn't go to waste)
~ Egg noodles tossed with fresh peas

See, it doesn't sound awful!
But it was, so there you go.

Tonight:
~ Whitefish (breaded? in the oven? dunno; it's thawing now)
~ Soup (carrot?)
~ Rice w/garden chard

Just had a daring thought: I have a small clump of "Black Cherry" tomatoes almost ripe out back... would it be a desecration to turn them all into soup???

We went to Dusk Dances on Tuesday at Withrow Park. Tonight is our last chance to see Clay & Paper's Horsefeathers production in Dufferin Grove. but it's a lot for one week, although it does sound like a child-friendly production.

Complicating things is the fact that I have my aerobics class Thursday nights. And the fact that it's raining. And then they just called to cancel the aerobics, and the rain seems to be letting up... but I still need to stop in at Barbara Frum because I told Judy I'd pick up a library book for her. What a busy day!

Today was our last Toddler Time at the library. Yes, neither of the littles is technically a toddler. It runs from 18-36 months and Naomi is fully 6 months too old, while Gavriel Zev is nine months too young (yes, he hit 11 months this week!). Still, they love Shannon, the librarian who does it, and GZ has the best, best time shrieking along with all the music. When he's not starving because it's at 10:30, his official Cranky Time.

Ugh. More rain.
Maybe we'll just drive down to Dufferin Mall and get ice cream and see what happens. I was looking forward to hitting the marmer's farket with Ted, too. Blah.
Yes, I know how to say it properly. I just choose not to.

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
