Thanksgiving Israeli Style

We're eating pizza for dinner tonight. No, it's not our new Thanksgiving tradition.

Some of us "old timers" are meeting with a group of English-speaking potential olim. We love sharing our enthusiasm about life in Beer Sheva. And isn't pizza the easiest when you have a last-minute crowd on a Thursday evening?

Meanwhile, I've been cooking for Shabbat. Not all of the kids could make it for dinner, so I turned the menu around to do the Thanksgiving-thing for lunch.

Erev Shabbat

Sourdough multi-grain challah
Glazed carrot soup
Broccoli mushroom quiche
Salad
Chocolate cupcakes

Shabbat Lunch

Whole-wheat challah
Cornbread and challah stuffing
Brown and wild rice salad (with lemon vinaigrette and dried cranberries)
Israeli salad
Sweet potato pie
Canned cranberry sauce (procured by my son in Jerusalem)

Happy Thanksgiving and Shabbat Shalom!
