re: #60 lawhawk

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Already thinking about Rosh Hashana meal prep since it’s just a week away, and my usual choices aren’t going to work. The holiday’s coming so early this year that going apple picking so I can make my apple ginger soup isn’t going to happen (and it nixes the mrs. apple crumb cake). Chicken of some form is still a go - I’m thinking of doing a Moroccan spiced chicken with potatoes and carrots, but that could still change). It’s the appetizer that I’m trying to figure out…

I’m putting together my holiday menu. It’s a 3-day marathon of eating! (2 holidays + Shabbos), rinse and repeat for Sukkot & Simchat Torah. I already baked a whole bunch of challah.

Appetizers:
Gefilte fish
Broiled rainbow trout
Broiled salmon

Soup:
Chicken noodle/matzo ball

Main courses:
Gold Tip Roast
Grilled chicken breasts
Cholent

Sides:
Jerusalem noodle kugel
Sweet potatoes w/pineapple

Salads:
(just make up on the fly)

Desserts:
Kugelhopf with rum-soaked fruits
Apple pie or apple strudel?
Honey saffron cake

Wine:
Golan Merlot
Herzog White Zinfandel
Herzog Orange Moscato
Bartenura Malvasia
