Menu for the week

This week's menu is going to be variations on the theme "Easy" - I seem to have a lot to do this week besides my regular routine (that already keeps me quite busy).

Lunches will be soups and pasta and sandwiches and whatever veggies we have on hand.

Suppers:

Sunday: Mushroom barley stew, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, cut veggies

Monday: Shabbat leftovers

Tuesday: Split Pea Soup, Roasted Vegetable Casserole

Wednesday: Scrambled eggs, Salad, Baked Potatoes

Thursday: Anything left from the week

Looks like Thursday I have a whole bunch of cooking and baking to do - we may be hosting a siyum/kiddush this Shabbat (local friends who read my blog, take note!)! If it happens, I will try to post my plan for that too!

U-Pick Tomatoes! (For FREE!)

Yesterday I got a message from someone on Whatsapp about tomatoes.
Yes, about tomatoes.

It seems that some farmers have too many tomatoes sitting in their fields, and now that the price has dropped, it's not worth their while to pay field hands to harvest the rest of the crop.

One farmer has announced that anyone who wants to come pick, can do so. Completely FREE. Just bring your own bags!

He says there are at least 30 tons waiting to be harvested. The farm is in the "arava" region. The harvest must be done between now and Purim (March 24th).

Please call to make arrangements - Meidan - 058-526-0760.
Please do NOT call on Shabbat.
