Welcome to our Sukkah!

Baruchim Habayim! Welcome to our Sukkah! You can see our schach (roof) here, along with a welcome sign courtesy of DS7 and DS4. I won’t show you the back, which is backward. I guess I should be a little more careful when laminating, right? Our walls are devoid of a lot of the art we …

Menu planning Monday (Sukkot part 2)

This week, we have another 3 day Yom Tov run. We had a lot of guests (both eating and sleeping) over the first days, and a lot of leftovers, so we’re taking it easier this time. And yes, my menu is different than I originally planned–things keep changing. The cousins we have sleeping here had …

Tips for making Sukkot easier

(Here is a snapshot of our Sukkah as it’s going up. Ours is beautiful: it’s Chinese silk and was made to order while we were living overseas several years ago. It can seat a BUNCH! But even more beautiful are the kids–these are my two oldest.) Sukkot can be tough. It upends our normal (hopefully …

Menu planning Monday (Sukkot part 1 edition)

Lots going on this week, but we still have to eat, right? Sukkot starts on Wednesday night, so those are fancier than normal meals, all with at least some guests (sleepover guests this time!) Welcome to the fall weather, too. Sunday: Pizza bagels for lunch, dinner out for shwarma/falafel — a treat for setting up …
