Food for Shabbat

Yesterday I started defrosting tuna pieces. This afternoon, I cut them into similar-size chunks, mixed them with olive oil and (very mild) horseradish mustard, and put panko on top. I baked it in a fairly hot oven, towards the end of the baking time for the mixed red and blue Adirondack potatoes (really more like deep purple and light pink-violet, but hey) and the fruit crisp I tossed together from the last bag of frozen apricot halves from two summers ago (very local: less than a quarter mile from me), diced, plus some whole cranberries, walnut pieces, and a couple of tablespoons of local honey.

I made a pot of white rice and green split peas, with the addition of two bags of frozen greens I found in my freezer (spinach and beet greens sauteed with onions).

For a salad, I sliced the rest of the kohlrabi from last week's farm share, mixing it with more of the horseradish mustard, olive oil, lemon pepper (which includes salt), and some bits of new chives from the porch. If I want something pickled, I have some fridge radish pickles.

Shabbat shalom (first late Shabbat of the season - no wonder I'm ready an hour early :-), happy weekend.
