Shabbat (mostly about food)

Between 3:45 and 7:30 PM on Friday afternoon, I made:

-- A pot of chicken soup (recipe from Ima-of-gnomi)
-- Brisket with potatoes and carrots (recipe from Ima-of-gnomi, but only sort of)
-- Roasted, marinated green beans with garlic and onions (recipe, long ago, from beckyfeld)
-- A gefilte fish loaf baked in honey (recipe from lucretia_borgia)
-- Yerushalmi kugel (recipe from vettecat)
-- Chicken Marsala (recipe from recipe book, as tweaked by gnomi with help from Craig-from-Butcherie)
-- Coconut-peppermint brownies (recipe from dancingdeer)

I served the first three on Friday night, when we hosted arib and Gwen-with-no-LJ. Dessert that night was cookies brought by Gwen, grapes, and chocolate in honor of Liza Doolittle Day.

The last four were served along with a salad (and the brownies were supplemented with cookies and chocolate) on Saturday for lunch, when we hosted tapuz and laurens10. The four of us then wandered around in the drizzle and saw some of the artists displaying for Brookline Open Studios (I was especially struck by the work of Lee Smith). We then walked to Comm Ave., where we turned left and they turned right to return home.
