Pondering Shabbat Food

[gnomi]

Yeah, I know it's Wednesday... some of you will say, "That's too early to think about Shabbat food." Some of you will say, "You're just starting now?" Eh, such is the way of the gnomiVerse.

So, here's this week's thoughts. We're having three guests for dinner and being guests elsewhere for lunch. I'm only cooking dinner, therefore, and am playing with menus. My current thought is:

-- Challah
-- Grape juice
-- Some sort of starter (maybe g'fish, maybe cold soup of some sort... still thinking)Cucumber soup
-- Malaysian Chicken Curry
-- Basmati rice
-- Some sort of veggie Honey-glazed ginger carrots
-- Dessert of some type Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake

Yeah, so... not so much a menu as an outline. But this'll give me a chance to ponder without forgetting what I've already come up with.

Let me know of some good jarred brands. Because I know I am going to get to craving one of these days. I liked the texture and the balance of sweet, savory, and some saltiness.

My grandmother makes a cucumber salad like that...she also tosses in tomatoes and sweet red onions. Tasty stuff, so refreshing and light!

The only brand of jarred gefilte fish that I like is Noam.
