All the Suppers… so far

kosher foodMy LIST of all the suppers!

Updates:

-----

So. I started this food list in January 2010, after almost two years had passed since I last posted a summary of WHAT WE EAT around here.

I have cut and pasted and skimmed through several years of suppers to cull a list of dishes organized by category. I've left out desserts, drinks and Shabbos food… it’s just too much work. There are some breads listed here, but for more on bread, see my Bread Blog!

Notes:

  1. All of our family food is kosher. If I mention something like cheese on top of chili or spaghetti, assume those dishes contain no meat.
  2. We're not vegetarian, but we don't eat meat often during the week
  3. We also eat fish, and luckily everybody enjoys it, most of the time.
  4. None of us has any significant allergies, so we eat dairy, wheat, etc., all that good old-fashioned stuff.
  5. I try to push our dietary envelope slightly beyond the ordinary.
  6. I’m currently trying to include one vegan meal a week ("Vegan Vursdays"). Sometimes, my family rebels and plops grated cheese or sour cream on top of a vegan meal – I don’t stop them.  I’m doing it because I want to minimize our impact and dependence on animal products, and increase awareness… plus, I love a cooking challenge!

(our Thursdays are usually meatless anyway, for kind of the same reason that Catholics don’t have it on Fridays… going without for a day heightens one’s enthusiasm for the “special” meat meal on Shabbos…a little.)

(**for my own recordkeeping, I have now included all suppers from now going back to the beginning of February 19, 2009)

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area.  :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke.  This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!).  I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion.  Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal.  Official information follows.  :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
