Shavuot Food Update

[gnomi]

Had a very productive last night-this morning. Thus:

-- Mexican lasagna: Done. Made last night.
-- H's cheese pie (recipe provided in comments from last night's post): In oven; will be done soon.
-- Quiche: Done. Made last night.
-- 2 Mac and Cheeses: In oven; will be done soon.
-- Blintzes to accompany one of the meals with guests: in oven; will be done soon.

I decided that (a) due to scheduling issues and (b) due to the projected heat, I would not bake challah and will buy it. That reduces my "amount time needed to cook everything" by three hours (lcmlc's challah is easy to make, but it has two one-hour rising periods plus about 60 total minutes of active prep).

Further refinement of menus:

-- Girlie Dinner I (that's tonight, pre-yom tov): Maybe eggs and sausages and roasted cauliflower.

-- Adult Dinner I: Like Girlie Dinner, but with dessert after kiddush/hamotzi

-- Lunch I: Mac and cheese (mostly pitched at kids), Mexican lasagna (mostly pitched at adults), side and dessert provided by guests

-- Girlie Dinner II: Quiche and/or cheese pie, blintzes, fresh sliced veggies

-- Adult Dinner II: Like Girlie Dinner, but with dessert after kiddush/hamotzi

-- Lunch II: at shul

Any leftovers will become Shabbat food.
