Food for RH 5773

[magid]

To a happy and sweet new year!

• grape juice/wine, multi-grain challah, apples, honey
  
• hummus
  
• black bean soup with garlic and tomatillos
  
• spicy peanut noodles
  
• roasted eggplant and onion
  
• tomato salad with some greens, chives, and salt-cured olives
  
• fridge pickles (cucumber, carrot, and/or daikon)
  
• possibly also beet pickles, to be able to say the bad pun for an auspicious year involving beets
  
• chicken thighs baked with onions, mushrooms, walnuts, lavender leaves, raisins, a diced apple, and bits of bread
  
• baked apple and boozy blueberry crisp-ish dish
  
• chunks of fresh pineapple
  
• liqueurs (including apple and honey liqueur, possibly also a fermented apple beverage)

And the usual snackish foods (yogurt, tuna, carrot sticks) as desired.

I have broken with the custom of avoiding nuts on RH; I wanted them in my food too much.
