Shabbat Menu -- Rosh Chodesh Av

Guests for both meals this week, two for dinner and four (plus a baby) for lunch.

Now, yes, I realize that it's Shabbat during the Nine Days, and therefore it is common to be sure to have meat on Shabbat, but (a) next week we also have a Shabbat of the Nine Days, so we could do meat then and (b) it's too hot for me to flip my kitchen.
