Having just finished chairing my son's school's fundraising dinner, being about to start baking 1000 hamentashen for the shul (besides all the baking for my personal mishloach manot), and co-chairing the shul's fundraising dinner right before pesach, I had already been looking forward to a quiet, peaceful Shabbat - the only invited guests were those that fell into the "more like family than friends" category. Add that to the snow, two novels from the library, someone to snuggle with, and I'm in heaven!
Now, to plan menus that match the weather and mood, take into account that I still need to lose my vacation weight gain yet still make everyone else happy....
Friday Night Dinner
Chicken Soup with Matzoh Balls
Honey Lemon Roasted Chicken with Roasted Root Vegetables
Popcorn Cauliflower
Braised Red Cabbage
Tossed Salad
Shabbat Lunch
Warm chicken and brisket sandwiches
Chulent
Israeli Salad
Desserts:
Lemon Bars, Oatmeal Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies (already in the freezer)
Desserts will be the beginning of "clear it out before pesach" - I have several batches of cookies and a bundt cake in the freezer.
I can't wait to wake up Shabbat morning to the snow softly falling, the chulent hot and bubbling, the newspapers and books calling, and naps for all!
Shabbat Shalom!
Deb
