No specific menu yet but was busy cooking today and made to be used for all YTs and on:
- 6 sweet potato pies
- 6 small rectangular Yerushalmi Kugels
- 6 small rectangular Apple Strawberry Kugels
- 3 small rectangular Doughless Potato Knishes

(A recipe for a 9x13 pan fits into 3 of these pans)

nice! I am putting up tomato sauce tonight. I have so many tomatoes from the farm and our fridge is getting warm (sears can't get here until friday morning) so I need to cook them up and get them into the big freezer somehow. I figured I will be making pasta as the kids live on it so I can use some for that. As well I usually make a meatloaf (with lamb). Maybe a meat lasagna as a side. Our meat order isn't in yet and not sure when it is getting here so main dishes will wait till I know for sure what I am getting cause there are always last min things. I am also prob. sending to friends as she is due IY"H in the next week.

I did my menu list yesterday...overall, but not per meal.

We have:

Fish patties

Coke Brisket
Tongue
Apple or Lemon chicken (haven't decided which yet)
Roast...don't remember which recipe I picked!

Apple Kugel
Sweet Noodle Kugel
Carrot Tzimmes
Cranberry stuffed cabbage

Baked Apples
Fruit Cobbler
Honeycake (mini beehives)
Applecake (Large Beehive Pan)

I'm sure there's more (besides the obvious round fruit challah, grape juice, and simanim), but I don't have the list in front of me.

My mind is so totally blank, I can't even think of what I should make. Dh is away, so I'm only really thinking of the first seuda, to which I have invited the ILs. The last seuda we're going to them and the middle two don't really matter what I make, since I eat anything and the kids eat nothing.

I think we're going very traditional: gefilte fish, chicken soup, roast - I have something called rollbraten, which looks like a rolled up piece of meat. I don't really know what it is or how to cook it - farfel, tzimmes, compote. Maybe something called almas, which is a Hungarian apple pie, if I have time.

Meanwhile, I really need to bake my challos, but I have no place in the freezer for them. I'm getting my fish order tomorrow and need to make my gefilte fish, but I have no place for 2 kilos' worth of fish rolls. I'd love to make the compote already too, but again - no place for anything. I'm trying to figure out what I have so much of in the freezer...

I'll get it for you. The one I have is actually Diet Coke Brisket, from Norene Gilletz's "Healthy Helpings". I imagine the full calorie version is probably in one of her earlier editions. Bli neder, tomorrow morning!

Here you go:

Coke Brisket

Source: Healthy Helpings/MealLeaniYumm!

[Printer Friendly]

Brisket is quite high in fat, so serve it on special occasions. Cola makes the meat very tender.

3 onions, sliced
4 1/2 to 5 lb. beef brisket, well-trimmed
4 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tbsp. paprika
1/4 cup apricot jam
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 cup diet cola

1. Spray a large roasting pan with non-stick spray. Place onions in pan; place brisket on top of onions. Rub meat on all sides with garlic, seasonings, jam and lemon juice. Pour cola over and around brisket. Marinate for an hour at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.

2. Preheat oven to 325°F. Cook covered. Allow 45 minutes per lb. as the cooking time, until meat is fork tender. Uncover meat for the last hour and baste it occasionally. Remove from oven and cool completely. Refrigerate overnight, if possible. Discard hardened fat which congeals on the surface. Slice brisket thinly across the grain, trimming away any fat. Reheat slices in the defatted pan juices.

Yield: 12 servings. Reheats and/or freezes well.

My menus just got a little simpler. I'm not worrying about making extras and being able to freeze for Sukkos - I'll be cooking in my mother's kitchen (if she'll let me help) because we are going there for the whole of Sukkos!

So I have finally gotten my act together and come up with a menu.

First night: (guests coming)
round challah with honey
apple and honey
gefilte fish and fish head
chicken soup with square noodles
honey-mustard chicken with poppy seeds
potato kugel (or maybe roast potatoes)
farfel
orange-glazed carrots
beet salad
almas (Hungarian apple pie)
tea

First day:
round challah and honey
gefilte fish
devilled eggs
cholent
schnitzel
beet salad
pomegranate

Second night: (this will probably be only me eating, as the kids will hopefully be asleep already)
round challah with honey
shehechiyanu fruit
gefilte fish
chicken soup with square noodles
fairy steak with peppers and wild mushrooms
farfel
carrots
beet salad
almas

Second day we are going to my inlaws.

I have had so many kitchen mishaps today that I'm just wondering how much of all this stuff will actually get done and what else is going to go wrong before I finish cooking.

Realeez - love the way you incorporated the simanim into the dishes! It's tempting to redo my menu plan, although I do make the simanim the main meal for second night, anyway.
