Scary Kosher Menu Plan Monday: 28 Nisan, 5770

This is my first MPM since before Pesach. It’s always tough getting back on a bandwagon, but especially a foodie bandwagon after three weeks of disrupted FOOD.

Everything is so unsettled when the food is unsettled, however, and I think a week of normalcy is what we need. Last Wednesday and Thursday were pizza and superstore chicken, and then Shabbos – once Ted brought the dishes up – actually was kind of normal.

After Pesach, as usual, it wasn’t the chometz I was craving but the kitniyos: corn flakes! rice! anything with beans!

So this week’s menus may reflect that. Hmm… what should we eat???

Okay, done! Sorry it’s so vague. Now to run and wash the pareve dishes so I can wash the milchig dishes so I can start on supper. Ugh.

Sunday (yesterday): Easy deli-on-rye sandwiches at Mommy’s house w/Sara & Abigal

Monday (today): Veg chili with ~~cornbread~~ Bisquick biscuit dumplings, but tons of frozen corn in the chili to make up for the lack of cornbread!

Tuesday (Ted’s off day): Hot dogs & buns on BBQ

Wednesday: Tassajara red-wine-and-cream potatoes… ooh, schmancy! Note to self: buy cream!

Thursday (Vegan Vursday): Black bean & roasted red pepper soup; some kind of bread; maybe some kind of tofu proteiny thing on the side?

Shabbos: TBD!

Remember – all meals listed here will eventually be added to the mega-compendium of Everything We Eat. In the meantime, check it out! By clicking here (in case you missed the two previous links)!

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
