Menu Plan Monday #27: 13 Elul, 5770

Why the weird dates? Click here to find out!

We are a Jewish family of 6 (2 parents, 4 kids) and all our meals are kosher.

Newcomers, you can read my MPM intro here which tells you all about who we are and what we eat, or just visit my super-duper-list-tastic itemization of Everything We Eat.

So we’re going to New York City – well, okay, and then on to Lakewood and Monsey – tomorrow night.  Yay!

Which means a pretty short week for menu planning.  Ted will be on his own for Wednesday, Thursday and Shabbos.  Actually, my mother is making the main dish for Shabbos; Ted says he’ll do all the side stuff.

Sunday:  Ravioli birthday supper at Mommy’s house

Monday (tonight):  Chicken BBQ’d on skewers; rice; sweepo oven fries

Also tonight:  Mix no-knead dough for pletzl on Sunday – double batch (or triple?); mix challah dough for Shabbos & freeze – ask Ted to take it out to fridge on Thursday afternoon.  Hmm… or mix dough this afternoon, form loaves tonight, then freeze loaves.

Tuesday (Ted’s late day):  Baked potatoes with bowls of cheese, chili, etc.  Elisheva’s choice, because I ran out of inspiration:  “That is an easy supper; it’s just like in Poland, Mommy.”  We leave at 6:30 for the bus, so it will have to be an early supper…

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday… ha ha ha ha ha ha…so long, folks!!!

    I love the idea of your baked potato bar with all the toppings on the table.

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
