Menu Plan Monday #26: 6 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.

Fast, fast, fast, before it’s midnight and no longer Monday!!! Also, I don’t know why but somehow I got started calling these posts “Menu-Planning Monday”… but now I’m back to the original title.

Sunday: Sobey’s food: BBQ chicken, Shanghai noodles, roasted potatoes @ Mommy’s house

Monday (Ted’s off day): Ted made Lemon salmon, Madhur Jaffrey basmati rice, frozen veg on the side – all delicious, and I didn’t have to cook!!!

Tuesday: Hot dogs and buns on BBQ, baked beans

Wednesday (Ted’s late day): Fresh corn, homemade pizza w/yves pepperoni

Thursday (Vegan Vursday): Pea soup & ~~pletzel~~ What was I thinking??? Pletzl is virtually identical to pizza! I will have to think of something else. Roasted Wheat and Celery comes to mind, but I dunno if we have any bulgur in the house. Oh, and while it's as veggie as all get out, it's not exactly vegan.

Friday: Dunno, don’t care, I’m done – yay!

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
