So this Shabbat we had 13 people total for Friday night! And it was absolutely awesome. I completely had a party. Thanks to Ginny for potatoes, The Challah Man for challah, Fudge for grape juice, The Aristocrat for wine and Hospital-Saviour Dude for drinks. And thank you to The Girl From Philly for putting in a surprise appearance and making me happy. Also, D-Cap is to be thanked for helping chop vegetables for my stir-fry while Fudge and Dana helped wash lots and lots of dishes! And last but not least, an intrepid blog-commenter and his sister dined by us for Shabbat, so you see, it
does work...if you read the blog, you come for Shabbat!
So Friday cooking took from 8 AM through 7:11 PM (with several breaks to tzniufy to accept gifts and offerings from lovely guests.) Here's what we had!
Aside from mushroom-barley soup,
which you already saw, the meal featured Meat- Vegetable lasagna:
Sweet & Sour Chicken:
Carrot Tzimmes:
Baked Onions With Sundried Tomatoes:
Vegetable Stir-Fry:
And for dessert, home-baked cookies with chocolate frosting and sprinkles on top!
This was my apartment just before Shabbat:
Then I jumped in the shower at 7:11 and ended up being ready in time for Shabbat. Huzzah!

That was a lot of work! Quite a variety of food items. Where did you learn how to cook? Enjoy reading your blog.
Chana,everything you prepared looks so appetizing. It's food, service and ambiance that I think of when I get invited for shabbos or go to a restaurant. However,it's the feel of a place where the meal takes place that I believe is used as a yardstick by which all is judged. I'd like very much to see a picture of your set shabbat table. It must be lovely,just like all the pictures I'd seen thus far. Too bad I don't live in the Golan Heights or I would've asked for a shabbos dinner invite.
wow this is making me hungry.....
The stuff looks amazing. So when you are not busy stydying or writing,you are busy cooking. Good deal!
