Locally-Sourced Rosh Hashanah

October 6, 2008

In the middle of an otherwise is-it-tomorrow-yet? kind of a day, I was happy to receive news that I’d won second place in The Jew and the Carrot’s Rosh Hashanah Dinner Challenge. The contest asked readers to report on how they made their holiday greener and more locally-inspired. The three dishes I made for Rosh Hashanah — Maple-Glazed Delicata Squash Rings, Vegetarian Collard Greens, and Honey Cookies — all included locally-sourced ingredients, most of it organic.

I actually made one additional dish for the second night of the holiday that I forgot to mention in my entry; a chopped salad that included mixed lettuce and tomatoes from our farm share.

Special thanks goes out to Lauren, for being the laid-back kind of hostess who didn’t mind not knowing what I’d bring until the last minute!

Back Bay Cookies: I was cleaning out my pantry this week and found a bag of roasted, peeled chestnuts. I'm going to sub chocolate chips for the golden raisins and make these for the boys.

Cook to This

"Breakeven" by The Script. Such a sad story in a beautiful song. I have been singing this around the house so much that G. recognizes it and tells me to stop singing "THAT!" song again.
