Tonight we’re heading over to shul for an outdoor service and a potluck dinner. This meant I could come home from work and make one dish. Someone else is taking care of the juice, the wine, the challah, and all the other courses. This is my idea of a restful shabbat evening. Especially if there is plenty of wine.

About Me

I'm a mother of two girls, raised in suburban Baltimore, and transplanted to a small New England town. I teach, write, and try to create a vibrant Jewish home for my family while spending very little time in synagogue. Â I guess you could say we're home-shuling. You can contact me at homeshuling at gmail dot com.Categories

Our shul doesn’t organize potlucks (bit of a nightmare in an observant community, I’m afraid), but there’s one family in our neighbourhood that hosts potluck-style Carlebach Friday night minyan/suppers. It’s been an amazing experience! You’re right about the sheer joy of having to prepare only one dish. They’re always veggie, so that means there’s inevitably ice cream or something yummy afterwards, too.

One dish is good enough to share a family dinner .I have grew up in Asian country,back then,having one recipe every single meal is what
made me live my life here very simple and less spending.I became
simply sufficient of being one recipe at a time,my girls adopt my life
foodstyle,lol.and like myself,they don’t look for extravagat kitchen table meals,i grew up that way,my girls are okey with it,i dont know about my dad,lol.
