Shavuot meals

[magid]

I'm hosting both dinners. The first one includes some vegan guests. The heat wave has wreaked havoc with my original plans... I hope things come out ok (especially considering my lack of air conditioning, also cross ventilation doesn't work so much, unfortunately).

First night

• challah, wine/grape juice
  
• hummus, olives
  
• chilled honeydew with lime and freshly cracked black pepper
  
• sprouted wheat pappardelle with spicy nut sauce
  
• home made baked beans (from Shabbat)
  
• green salad with pineapple, jicama, scallions, and tomato
  
• minty lemon-lime-ade
  
• pastries from Israel, halva, Medjool dates, cherries, nuts, sorbet

Second night

• challah, wine/grape juice
  
• cold potato-leek soup
  
• hummus, olives
  
• sliced sweet potatoes
  
• Israeli salad
  
• watermelon-feta-mint salad with scallions
  
• [either a tofu- or an egg-based dish]
  
• cheesecake (via HH)
  
• halva, Medjool dates, cherries, nuts, sorbet

And, wholly off topic, I've paid June's stupid tax: I managed to lose my bank card my last day out of the country. *sigh*
