No worries - I will be back up to full speed before you know it.
Just a little catch up...
2 weeks ago at the Tish we had a fantastic chicken tagine made in the slow cooker. It was my first slow cooker shabbes - and a bit of an adventure - but let me tell you - that meat just fell off the bone.
Last week at the Tish - we had a Shabbat Christmas Chinese feast.
Veggie eggrolls (which are really hard to do for shabbat - what with the cooking and reheating and all - they came out a bit soggy but delicious)
Slow Cooker (I know, two weeks in a row...) Chinese Chicken and veggies. Honestly - this was not my greatest success - but I feel that I learned.
Guests included:
Dr. Tzemah Yoreh and his wife Aviva Richman - both of whom teach at the American Jewish University.
Tzemah and Aviva's friends Daniel and Nitzan - who were in town for the Association for Jewish Studies conference.
The Chazzan's sister Jennifer
The Chazzan and his husband.

Dr. Rachel Safman, Daniel Robinson and Edie Safman

BEER CAN CHICKEN - note the pre-oven picture
I have never made this before but I am so excited to give it a try.
The chicken is covered with a delicious spice rub that I put together, there are lemon basil leaves under the skin - yum! Most exciting though are the cans of Heineken the birds are sitting on.
Roasted veggies
Garlic Mashed potatoes.
Happy 2010!
Good Shabbes to all and to all a Good Shabbes!
Lots of LOVE,
the Chazzan
