The Return of the Shabbat Menu

[gnomi]

So, this week we're out for dinner and home (with one possible guest) for lunch. Menu (well, most of one):

-- Challah
-- Grape juice
-- Maybe a starter, maybe not
-- Three-cheese macaroni and cheese
-- Some sort of vegetable (maybe a salad, since we have many salad crunchies left over from Arisia)
-- Chewy cocoa cookies with chocolate chips

I'm doing the mac & cheese cooking tonight while mabfan is in class. I'll pick up whatever I'm doing for a starter (if I do one) and a veggie either tonight or tomorrow and be as creative as I can be. There may still be some green beans in my fridge; if there are, maybe I can convince them to become roasted-marinated green beans with garlic and onions. If so, those'll be cooked tonight, as well.

I've been thinking about doing more dairy shabbos lunches in the winter.

How do you keep the mac and cheese warm for lunch?

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I have an electric hotplate on a timer.

Do we want to buy a bag of salad tomorrow? By which I mean, do you want to buy a bag of salad tomorrow? :-)

I also have two bags of salad, one of which can be parted with if that is the only thing you'd need from a store that is not my kitchen.

Hmm...if Nomi has time, can she swing by and get it from you? I would, but I have a class tonight.

If it is at all easier for you to shop in my kitchen than in a store, I am in possession of excess celery (which the husband defines as "any quantity of celery), excess tomatoes, and excess cucumbers, as well as a head of cabbage and a bag of sugar snap peas that currently have no planned future. Also some green bell peppers.

Must remember to fine-tune Boston Organics "no" list.

mmmm...what type of mac and cheese?

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

The tasty kind! Nomi's secret recipe, with three cheeses instead of one!

This one (http://gnomi.livejournal.com/350007.html#cutid2).

who do I never think to make this for shabbat? I could eat mac and cheese every day. Have you seen this new thing, mac and cheese balls? They take balls of it, deep fry it, and put it ona stick/toothpick for dipping. Makes me tear up in joy thinking about it.

Wacky! Tasty-sounding; cholesterol-on-a-stick, but tasty. :-)

What are "salad crunchies"?

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

Fake Bacon bits, croutons, pecans, etc.

Crunchy things what one adds to salad. See mabfan's list.
