The Menu

Well, at least there's a menu! :)

We were out of town last shabbos, after a wonderful week with the kids in camp while the mommies shopped at Value Village (an entire wardrobe for 6 for the year for $200!), and went out to lunch every day (I took babysitting money that I earned in the couple of weeks before I headed to Atlanta and used that for play money!). A fun, if somewhat decadent, week.

Now for the meals...

For dinner:

challah
mashed potatoes
mushroom gravy
steak
roasted zucchini and eggplant w/preserved lemons
roasted carrots
roasted cabbage
brownies

And for lunch:

Matjes herring (thank you, Buford Farmers Market in Atlanta!!!!!!!)
stuffed Turkish eggplant (cute little 4' round orange eggplants from the garden stuffed w/eggplant, onion, garlic, tomato, basmati rice)
green salad
pesto gnocchi
roasted veggies from Friday
beef stew
more brownies
