Pre-Shabbat cookery

Plus rolls, hummus, zaatar, that sort of stuff. And green salad, if I can convince myself to make it.
The surplus of lettuce finally got me to sign up for a lunch'n'learn at shul (milchig/pareve potluck plus a shiur). I'm bringing green salad with honey tangerines and almonds, plus a peppery tangerine juice-chipotle mustard-y dressing.
edit Except that the eruv is down this week, and I just found out about that, so there's 15 minutes for me to deliver the salad that isn't ready to shul. I suppose I can dash over with all the ingredients.... NOW. /edit
Also, friends are hosting a Mardi Gras party this motza'i Shabbat, and wanted me to be able to eat the (dairy) king cake, which was most easily achieved by me making it. I'm a bit nervous that I killed the yeast, the dough is too sticky, the recipe just doesn't work by hand (incorporating the butter was a challenge not wholly met...) etc., but with all the yummy ingredients, I'm hoping it can't be that bad...
* such an awesome name. I could imagine it being the name of a retro band. Or a gang from a 1950s midwestern city.
- roasted zukes, peppers, and onions
- cabbage, potatoes, onions, beets, and cubes of corned beef sauteed together (a cross between red flannel hash and rumbledethumps*/ colcannon/ bubble and squeak)
- oranges macerated with maple syrup, vanilla, and olive oil, then roasted with black pepper
- candied orange peel with ginger
