Food for Shabbat

[magid]

I'd originally planned to cook for Shabbat last night, but never did figure out a menu. Today, I figured out a menu that required one stop (Trader Joe's) on the way home (having already stopped at Russo's on the way to work). Which would have worked, had I not realized in the parking lot that I'd managed to leave my purse at work. D'oh! So I modified, working with what I already have.

• pita (baked in Worcester), grape juice
  
• soup: onion, potato, and corn (frozen from the farm share), with salt, pepper, and cayenne
  
• "harvest grains blend" (Israeli-style couscous with baby chickpeas, orzo, and red quinoa; the name annoys me because it's not a grain mix as I'd think of it) and barley with eggplant-garlic spread, pepper jack, cheddar, and sauteed onions and mushrooms (I'd intended just the barley, but had poured the blend into the measuring cup before I'd thought it out)
  
• mashed rutabagas
  
• green salad: mixed salad greens (farm share), kohlrabi (farm share), sunflower seeds, vinegared strawberries (from the strawberry vinegar made earlier this year using farm share strawberries), dressed with strawberry vinaigrette (and possibly some feta) (if I end up making salad, that is: salad for one can be challenging for me)
  
• dilly beans (farm share beans from last year; quart finally opened for Thanksgiving)
  
• salt and pepper chocolate from Taza
