Shabbat dinner

[magid]

The menu:
wine (not yet chosen from the dishwasher)
multigrain challah with flaxseed meal
split pea soup
chicken breasts and/or turkey thighs (roasted with peaches, almonds, candied ginger, ginger syrup, amaretto, and a touch of hot sauce)
edamame in the pod
roasted red pepper and broccoli
a melange of onion, mushroom, and roasted eggplant with a touch of spiciness
green salad
cookies from Tabrizi's
pineapple

Notes:
I still have to steam the edamame, cut up the pineapple, and assemble the salad. If I'd started the pea soup earlier, it would've hit meltdown in time for me to have put butternut squash in it. Ah, well.
I ate all the Brussels sprouts; sometimes it's too hard to share... :-)

Flaxseed meal is nifty. Unfortunately, no-one in my house will eat it but me.

There's no way my challah is going to be ready by sundown. Oh well. Shabbat Shalom!

I'm surprised that someone finds flaxseed meal objectionable. I mean, I toss some into bread, and other than being visually noticeable, the flavor isn't incredibly different.

I hope your challah comes out well, whenever it does (I make myself start the dough before work, so it can go into the oven soon after I get home, then move on to the milichig/fleishig things after that).

Shabbat Shalom!

All of my attempts to sensibly parse this have ended in failure. Dishwasher?

I moved into my condo almost 9 years ago. It had a dishwasher. I was used to washing dishes by hand, so didn't think much of it, especially since internally it's an odd shape, so it fits partly under the sink. At some point or another, I realized that I could store wine horizontally in the dishwasher, and since I don't have another wine rack, started doing that. With the odd shape, I've managed up to 13 bottles at once.


Side note: after a couple of years, I asked the rabbi whether the dishwasher was kasherable or not, and was surprised to hear that it was (based on materials, etc). It had already sat unused for a year (fallow, I never get to use the word fallow :-), so I had to run an empty cycle with soap, and I'd have a kosher dishwasher. Hooray! So I did. And then I couldn't figure out which flavor to make it.... I tend to eat more milchigs, but fleishig dishes are greasier and tend to sit over Shabbat.... I kept waffling. I continue to waffle (Equality for pancakes! Pancake rights! Verb pancakes now!), so it remains a handy wine rack.

You have such a playful way with words. I enjoy reading your posts (and comments :-) ).
