Breathe out.
Where to begin? As Alice would say, "Why, at the beginning, of course".
This is about exactly what the title would have you believe.
No trickery.
It's about my weekly table. ....or rather my "week-END-ly" table.
...but that doesn't have nice flow. A little lumpy.
So, succinctly, this blog is about my weekly Sabbath table (or as we call it: the "Shabbos" table).
It's about the food. The decor, perhaps. The food. The company every once in a while. The food. My family. The food.
My husband is a chef. He cooks a little.
Me?
Just a "home cook" (not a "garage cook").
He gives me "star" ratings for my cooking.
Most of the real cooking we do during the week is in preparation for Shabbos. The rest of the week is usually quick n' easy fare...and leftovers (we cook a LOT for Shabbos).
Shabbos begins at sundown on Friday and ends about an hour after sundown on Saturday night.
We sing together.
We eat together.
We schmooze.
We eat together some more.
We nap (sometimes, if we're veeeeerry lucky).
We read and learn together. We read and learn alone.
....aaaaand we eat together some more.
On Shabbos the phone is off, the car is off limits, money is off limits, the computer is off limits.
It's "us" time. Quiet. Together.
Family. Friends. Food.
I'll share with you, though.
We have a lot of frequent fliers on the menu, but we like to take the opportunity to experiment.
Sometimes it's hit and sometimes it's miss.
...but it's always fun trying.
