Rosh Hashanah

Last night at sundown was the start of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. Despite Adam's absence, I decided to observe our tradtion of celebrating with friends over a large feast. I cooked from 9:00-5:30pm yesterday to host a dinner for 9 people. It was great! I made matzah ball soup, challah bread, lubiya (black eyed pea soup), 3 different kugels (casseroles) and roasted root vegetables. We were fit to feed an army! Everyone had a great time and there was tons of food left over to send everyone home with whatever they wanted.
Here are some pics from the occasion! Shana Tova!


The hors d'vours table...Manischewitz spritzers and challah bread


These were the first challah breads that have actually come out the way I wanted them to! I got lots of compliments on them; needless to say, they didn't stick around very long.


Vegetable kugel, roasted root vegetables, apple noodle kugel, sweet carrot kugel and lubiya


Here, Janice, Mary and Patrick are sampling the matzoh ball soup; I think they liked it more than they were expecting to!


Everyone sends out a hearty "Shana Tova" to Adam!
