On a normal week (read: a week when everyone is on schedule and things are running smoothly), I would be posting all sorts of adventures in getting my cooking done at this point. Needless to say, we are all still a bit off. No one is sleeping well. No one is eating well. And the little Houston "friends"-- and if you don't know the "friends" I am talking about, you have never lived in Houston (maybe one day I will write about the "friends" because they always seem to visit when I am cooking on Thursday night)-- have taken over my house.
Despite the total exhaustion and invasion of creepy crawlers, I have managed to get some of my Shabbos preparation done. Most important, a menu:
Challah-- made on Tuesday
Gefilte Fish-- done
Hummus-- done
Israeli salad
-----
Onion Chicken-- Quick & Kosher-- in the oven
Challah Kugel-- Spice & Spirit-- made on Tuesday and frozen. This is a first in my house. I had a lot of challah leftover from last week. I hope it is good!
Broccoli Salad
Quinoa Salad
Green beans
-----
Pistachio Chocolate Chip Cake
This menu is a lot of comfort food. Maybe the comfort will be a fun nights sleep for the first time since we have been back.
With friends like those, who needs enemies? ;)
ReplyDeleteHatzlacha with the Shabbos prep. I am also way behind, since most of my energy is being put into packing. I might just invest some time into buying more of my Shabbos food. I don't like to do it, but it may just be necessary until after we move. :( Have a great Shabbos!
