Menu Plan Monday, 9/14 – 9/20
September 13, 2009
We’re preparing for the Jewish New Year this week! I don’t normally host this holiday, but I am excited to get a chance to do so this year on Saturday night. I think I finally have my menu in place, though I will wait until I see what we get from our farm share on Wednesday to make the absolute final menu.
Cooking is light this week in preparation for the holiday. I’m also going to try my hand at making prepared horseradish for GG’s homemade gefilte fish. Lauren has told me to make sure I have good ventilation before I start grating the root — wish me luck!
Monday: Leftovers from Sunday’s Smokin’ Lunch
Tuesday: Pasta with sauteed komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) and onion
Wednesday: Bagels, salad, cheese & hummus
Thursday: Order in (starting to prep for Rosh Hashanah)
Friday: Rosh Hashanah dinner away (Shana tova!)
Saturday: Rosh Hashanah dinner here: Apples and honey to start, challah. Chicken soup with matzah balls (GG makes it). Smoked brisket and chicken, tomato salad, tzimmes of sweet potatoes and figs, barley with roasted vegetables, and green beans with roasted onions. Honey cookies, apple pie, fruit for dessert.
Sunday: Leftovers

Are you going to be posting any of your Rosh Hashana recipes? We don’t observe this holiday, being Christian, but would be interested in the food!
Yes, definitely! I make the Honey Cookies (http://chickinthekitchen.com/2008/10/02/honey-cookies/) every year. Everything else either I’m not making myself or is new this year, so I don’t have recipes yet! We’re actually having fewer people than I expected, and I didn’t take into consideration the farm share I’ll get tomorrow, so I may adjust the menu a bit. I’ll post any recipes afterward. — Dara

Love your Thursday plan! I am planning that just to get out the door for Back to School Night.
