Shabbat dinner

[magid]

• grape-based liquid
  
• partly white wheat challah with flaxseed meal and multigrain flakes
  
• hummus, four kinds of olives
  
• veg soup with onions, a couple of heads of garlic, three sweet potatoes, a brick of frozen spinach, black pepper, red lentils, and barley (which is to say, things I had around the house, since the weather cried out for soup)
  
• salmon baked with orange juice and ginger spread (ideally it would've had mango chunks and bits of zest, but I didn't find mango, and I ran out of time for the zest)
  
• baked winter squash (a mix of acorn and buttercup)
  
• roasted cauliflower
  
• green salad with caramelized onions, oranges, olives, feta, black pepper, and a balsamic vinaigrette (also perhaps some nuts)
  
• gingery chocolate cake (ginger spread and powdered ginger)
  
• dried apricots, nuts, oranges, tea

And Vericon this weekend! I've signed in, and prepaid for Ysabel. Yay!

What a lovely meal.

I make a soup with many of those ingredients -- onions, garlic, red lentils, and spinach. Other ingredients include nutmeg and lemon juice!

Did you add the ginger spread to the cake batter? Did you use it for filling? In the frosting?

Your soup sounds good too. I realized later that I had some leftover red wine I would've put in, too. (And I'm debating adding dumplings next time I have some.)

I put the ginger spread (plus some ground ginger) into the batter; I didn't make a filling or frost it.
