Shabbat and Shavuot food

Made today:

• sauteed eggplant, red pepper, Vidalia onion, scallions, and fresh oregano (possible later add-ins: spicy green olives, tuna)
  
• roasted garlic
  
• baked sweet potato slices with cinnamon and cayenne
  
• spicy peanut noodles
  
• sauteed Vidalia onion, white mushrooms, tiny shiitake mushrooms, Chinese broccoli, and pressed tofu with Szechuan spicy sauce
  
• baked ricotta with pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and a touch of honey
  
• sauteed kale with roasted garlic, sweet potato, and spicy ground turkey

also around:
* a couple of kinds of rolls
* grape juice and wine
* green salad things: mesclun, an heirloom tomato, kohlrabi, a variety of pickles (radish is open, carrot is another likely contender), a variety of flavored vinegars (strawberry balsamic, shiso rice, chive blossom rice)
* fruity yogurt (lemon or blood orange)
* red globe grapes and canary melons (I'm excited to try them, it's a first for me)

And a quart (or so) of rhubarb liqueur got started today too, with the other two pounds of rhubarb I got at Wednesday's farmer's market chopped up and frozen. (Note to self: Kappy's Liquor reliably carries the 1.75 L bottles of Smirnoff 100-proof vodka.)
