Shabbat dinner (milchig again)

[magid]

I got a deal on Camembert, and I'm trying to use stuff up before Pesach, so...

• challah, grape liquid
  
• polenta rounds topped with black olive puree, eggplant-garlic spread, and slices of tomato
  
• gefilte fish
  
• two baked Camemberts, one in piecrust (can I call this "en croute"?), the other not (the top rind taken off to allow for flavors to meld better), both flavored with pomegranate jelly, slivered almonds, and black pepper.
  
• roasted potatoes, onion, and zucchini
  
• green salad with romaine, olives, feta, sunflower seeds, orange, and balsamic vinaigrette (also possibly mango; this is the one thing left to assemble)
  
• chickpea salad with tomato, steamed broccoli, black pepper, and the spicy olive oil from the spicy olives
  
• steamed sugar snap peas in the pod dressed with garlic oil and soy sauce
  
• mango sorbet
  
• baked apples and plums with walnuts, cloves, and maple syrup
  
• Bendick's bittercream mints, other chocolate
  
• nuts, tea

Also, things to make this week: a lot of fish. Shaker lemon pie. And buffalo sauteed with caramelized onions, and cranberries (nuts? spinach? not sure what else yet).

This morning was a turkey morning, btw. And Diana Wynne Jones' new novella The Game is quite nice.

The polenta came out nicely. There's still some olive spread left, so I can play with it a bit more.

I preferred the Camembert without pie crust, which means it could be a very nice Pesach meal, with the cheese spread on matza.

I put the mango in the green salad, but it didn't really work towards the whole; it was a distraction.

The dressing on the peas was pretty untasteable.

The baked fruit was ok, but unremarkable. Not particularly sweet, either. Still, possible for Pesach.
