Shabbat Lunch Planning

[gnomi]

This week, after two weeks in a row of Shabbat houseguests (waves to chaos_wrangler, her G, and lcmlc), we're out for dinner and alone for lunch. The main dish for lunch is already set (yay for broccoli-mushroom-cheddar quiche in my freezer). My main concern is dessert. So, I poll:

[Poll #1359568]

Isn't there really only one person you should be polling? And I'd like both reverse chocolate chip cookie bars and home-made peanut butter cups, but your ticky boxes are broken and will only accept one vote for dessert. :-)

[eireangus.livejournal.com]

I second that vote! :-)

Hee -- the very first thing I thought upon reading this poll was "Here is a poll where one answer matters more than all the others" *grin*

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

And I got to vote twice! (I encourage everyone else to vote for my two favorites.)

Wow, this is great! I'd like reverse chocolate chip cookie bars and home-made peanut butter cups as well.

[madknits.livejournal.com]

Arrrrggghhhh!!!! I can only choose one dessert.
Curses! I was torn between homemade peanut butter cups and the reverse chocolate chip cookie bars, but went with the former.

Ah well, I suppose you don't want to make too many desserts, or, if nothing else, your sanity will desert you.

Could you post your recipe for homemade peanut butter cups, please?

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

The recipe she used can be found at http://shimshonit.wordpress.com/2009/02/17/a-rainy-day/ .

Thanks!

Apropos of food.... If there were an online diet plan that created two week meal plans along with recipes and shopping lists, and such a site offered a kosher option, do you think that would be A Good Thing?

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I would say that was a Very Good Thing, indeed.

[elul-3.livejournal.com]

I *think* such a thing already exists, but I'm not sure.

[baiacou.livejournal.com]

Woah. Just did a quick search and found a "kosher diet plan" that wants $299 for the first couple of weeks - and provides the food, presumably. And another one that costs $22.99 per day, with meals delivered.

Didn't see anything that actually helps you plan a diet for weight loss and is kosher. Hmm.

Next poll should be: if manna (the quintessential desert dessert) had tasted like chocolate and/or peanut butter, would the Jews still be wandering happily in the desert going nom nom nom?

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Jews would probably be alternating "Nom nom nom" and "why did you take us out of Egypt? We had *better* peanut butter cups *there*!"

[caryabend.livejournal.com]

I once read an article debating whether manna could taste like non-kosher food, but I don't recall the specifics.

[mecurtin.livejournal.com]

But surely chocolate and/or peanut butter can easily be kosher.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely. I have some of each in my pantry waiting to become peanut butter cups, in fact.

ALL OF THE ABOVE :;flips out::

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Heee! I think that's more than I have energy to make for this weekend.

[elul-3.livejournal.com]

Hey! You stole our lunch plan from last week! Except I think we just skipped dessert altogether.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

For last Shabbat lunch you took a quiche out of my freezer? I know we got home from shul late, but I think I would've noticed kitchen-related pilfering. ;-)

Tasty, indeed. But not quite right for this Shabbat, I believe.

Since it's just the two of you, I'd say make whatever you'll most enjoy eating.
