I'm hosting both seventh and eighth day lunches.

Seventh lunch, there are currently five adults, of whom one is vegetarian, and another doesn't eat red meat. I decided it will be a dairy meal.
  • grape liquid, matza
  • pickles and olives
  • borscht-like vegetable soup: carrot, onion, beet, beet greens, and a sad old turnip, plus a touch of fresh dill
  • Camembert baked with cranberry-orange sauce and slivered almonds
  • green salad: green leaf lettuce, jicama, scallions, and mandarin oranges
  • sweet potatoes roasted with cinnamon and cayenne
  • vinaigrette salad and/or quinoa pilaf*
  • Shaker lemon pie guts (this time hopefully right)
  • chocolate raisin clusters
  • dried fruit: peaches, dates, plums
    * Read: originally planned for last lunch only, but I made too much of both (a gallon bag of each is a bit more than four people can eat!).


Eighth lunch, there are currently four adults, of whom one is vegan. The other two guests are omnivores coming to both lunches, and I decided I'd rather be fleishig for one meal, knowing that the vegan is fine with that. Since I'm baking the Camembert, the fleishig dish had to be a stove-top dish.
  • grape liquid, matza
  • pickles and olives
  • vegetable soup reprised, assuming there's enough
  • quinoa pilaf with almonds, raisins, dried peaches, and caramelized onions, plus cinnamon and turmeric
  • green salad: green leaf lettuce, jicama, scallions, and tomatoes
  • vinaigrette salad: potatoes, carrots, beets, pickles, dill, scallions, oil and vinegar (balsamic because that's all I got for Pesach)
  • spicy sausages with kale, onions, and red peppers (and the last vegetables and juice from the pepper steak)
  • fruit compote: cranberries, oranges, apples, raisins, dried peaches, and spiced walnuts
  • chocolate-dipped dried apricots

If I feel like I need more for either meal, I still have some eggplant spreads, or fresh fruit (orange, grapefruit, and/or pineapple). And at this point, everything is done except assembling the salads and baking the Camembert.

Seventh dinner I'm out, and eighth dinner is undetermined. I have the aforementioned eggplant spreads and fruit, and there's pickles, olives, cheese, and tuna, likely lots of quinoa and vinaigrette salad, and I can make a green salad.
