Shabbat menu, simplified version

[magid]

• grape beverage
  
• challah with flaxseed meal, multigrain flakes, bulghur
  
• soup with chicken in it. Also, onion and its greens, a bunch of carrots and their greens, a couple of cloves of garlic, more than a thumbworth of chunks of ginger, a third of a bottle of leftover red wine, parsley, a chicken, two jalapenos, three stalks of lemongrass, black pepper, the juice of three limes and a lemon. In other words, everything that seemed like it would chat nicely together. I might add dumplings, or I might not.
  
• roasted zuke, summer squash, and onion-with-green-bits
  
• spicy cucumber salad (with salt, pepper, cayenne, ginger powder, sugar, and ginger-and-peppercorn vinegar)
  
• green salad with three-mushroom chicken (shiitakes, very yellow moist oyster mushrooms, and maitakes)
  
• cherries
  
• cantaloupe with lime
  
• sorbets (mango-tangerine, raspberry, passionfruit)
