I Welcome The Shabbat Queen

I woke up at 8:00 AM. Many trips to various stores (Key Food, Dan's Supermarket), dish-washings and other frantic dances later, I have prepared my portion of our apartment's Shabbat!

Shnitzel:


Broccoli Quiche (2):



Cranapple Crunch:



Oven-Roasted Vegetables:



Pepper Steak With Awesome Sauce Served on Linguini (Garnished With Cilantro):



Other apartment-mates prepared: Rice, Cholent, Chicken with Teriyaki Sauce, Gefilte Fish (for Shalashudos), Egg Salad (also Shalashudos), Salad, Green Beans.

It's going to be such a party!

I'll tell you...I feel like I actually did welcome the Shabbat Queen. ;-) It's not Shabbos if you haven't prepared at all, you know? At least not for the kids who hail from Chicago.

Have a wonderful Shabbat!
