Menu Plan Monday: 27 Cheshvan, 5773 – fill-in-the-blanks edition

Why the weird dates? Click here to find out! 

Welcome!  We’re an Israel-bound (next summer) homeschooling Jewish family of 6 (2 parents, 2 teens, 2 littles) and all our meals are kosher.  Read my MPM intro here or just visit my big ol’ list of Everything We Eat.  We eat mostly vegetarian, kinda frugal, not always super-healthy, but in better, more organized periods of our lives, try to include one vegan meal every single week – on Vegan Vursday, of course!

 

Sunday (Today):  Tuna-Noodle Casserole @ Mommy’s House – anything I don’t have to cook is Yummmmmmy!

Monday:  Perogies, Mashpo & Peas – almost entirely from the freezer – yay!

Tuesday:  Bread and Hearty _____ Soup – I’m giving myself a break and plopping this in here as a TBD… I’ll plan WHICH bread and WHICH soup later on.

Wednesday:  Moroccan Meatballs and Fruity Couscous

Thursday:  Pasta with ______ – creamy, something of some sort?

Okay, it may not look like much, but I am hoping planning menus again will help me out of this massive overwhelming slump… anyone want to offer ideas for what kind of bread?  Soup?  Pasta??? 

Help me fill in the blanks – and maybe inspire yourself along the way!

    Ooof. We're kind of slumpy over here, too. That's a word, right?

    Almost anything warm and crusty is good with soup, bread-wise. I'm making lentil soup this week, though--it's parshat Toldot, and it fits right in! ;)

    I recommend Lentil soup since it goes with this week's Parsha. Or do a pumpkin soup since you have so much. Also will you share your recipe for the Moroccan meatballs?

    The meatballs are kind of a melange, a hybrid of 2 recipes and my own foodie intuitions. Here's a picture and links to the 2 original recipes...

    p.s. to everybody - I have NEVER met a lentil I loved. The shape, the taste... just, nope. Beans, yes, split peas, yes, chick peas, nope, lentils, nope. :-(

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused o...
