Shabbat food
Jan. 29th, 2010 02:50 pmI'm hosting lunch. I had a plan for what to make, which was derailed by my oven not working. Worked fine last night, totally kaput today (except for the indicator light, which turned on redly as usual, making the discovery of a completely cold oven that much more wonderful). At least the stovetop isn't affected. However, the hot plate I usually use for Shabbat also died a few weeks ago, so I have no way of getting things warm tomorrow anyway. Oh! Unless I use the hot water urn, and put a baking sheet over the top instead of the usual lid. *ponders*
The plan was to have cake (luckily I'd picked up some cookies at TJ's, if I want to supplement the fruit, which I specifically wanted because of Tu B'Shvat), and butternut squash roasted with black pepper, cinnamon, and ginger (put in the fridge to marinate until Monday, when the repair guy is scheduled to show up). I also have leftover apple crisp, and the (local!) barley cooked with spinach, eggplant-garlic spread, and cheese (made for tonight's dinner, but there will be leftovers).
Hrm. It's a rather starchy meal, but it's wicked cold out, and starches appeal, so whatever.
Not at all related to cooking, but the day has also featured my house key being eaten by my car, so I'm aiming for not having anything else extremely annoying/frustrating happen today.
