Holiday Time

Rosh Hashana is one of my favorite holidays.  How can you go wrong with HONEY all the time!!!!  This year we are trying something new.  On eruv Rosh Hashana (Wednesday night), the four of us are going to eat a festive meal, as the four of us.  No rushing off to services and no company.  Just the four of us.  I can't remember a time we have ever done that.  I am going to use my grandmother's china and we are going to have fun (I hope). 

On Thursday, we are hosting the dinner, and on Friday we are going to be a guest! 

The big question is what does the menu look like?

On Wednesday night, I am serving:
2 homemade challahs and honey
Chicken Soup from the Temple Emanuel Cookbook
Italian Vegetable Soup from the New England Soup Factory Cookbook
Date Glazed Chicken
Tuscan Beans with Sage from the Low Fat Moosewood Cookbook
Basmati Rice with a potato from the Temple Emanuel Cookbook
Broccoli
Chocolate Mousse from the Temple Emanuel Cookbook
Fruit
