I figure that since YK falls on a Sunday this year, that's I'd cook for Shabbos and YK together. I juuuuust wonder if there is going to be complains that "we ate the same food for both meals on Shabbos, and now we have to eat it before YK too"?

Anyway...... I'll buy round rolls and have round raisin challah in the freezer. DH bought a case of wine so we have plenty of that, too.

I made an extra roll of fish when I boiled last week's, so I can can just slice it up and bake it with tomato sauce. I'm going to make a regular green salad, too, and serve it with bottled salad dressing. Then, baked potato kugel, baked thin lukshen kugel, and Shake and Bake type chicken. All of that is simple.

I gotta make kreplach for EYK, though, and defrost the soup I made a couple of weeks ago. I also bought herbs to put in the pitcher of water so everyone will be encouraged to drink.

In the freezer I have choc marble honey cake & apple honeycake

I'm gonna boil up some plain white rice, so I don't get a funky tummy from eating the wrong foods after the fast.

Then, I think we're done!

I have no idea what I'm making for shabbos yet, but I think I'm going to do the same as you. Make extra of everything for before the fast.

I plan on serving before the fast:
Homemade challah rolls (in oven now)
Chicken soup
Kreplach

S&S chicken
rice
salad
spinach bourekas (done)
potato bourekas (done)

honey cake (done)

After:
zebra cookies
granola bars
banana cake
chocolate cupcakes (all in freezer already)

Juices

French onion soup
homemade croutons
shredded cheese

Homemade rolls
egg salad
tuna salad
lox
marg/butter
veggie platters

I'm keeping it really simple after the fast. EVERYTHING will be ready and just have to be put on the tables. Except, of course, the soup which I'll just stick on the burner to reheat.

I seem to recall from last year that you are not supposed to have fish for the seuda mafseket, is that correct? I am making roast chicken for Friday night and fish for shabbos lunch, so if we can't eat the fish before the fast I will serve the chicken re-heated.

We are breaking the fast at someone else's house. We went there last year and it was awesome, huge fish buffet, really good.

It will be simple for my sake preparing it, but we treat it like Shabbos, and a yom tov, so there will be shabbos treats, etc.

I don't, but that's a separate thread. Search in the Special Days threads for that.

Brown ground meat with a little salt/pepper. drain liquid. Let cool.

Buy Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Dough. Thaw on counter. Cut a sheet of the dough into 9 squares.

Prepare a little cup/dish of water, using finger, wet the inside of the dough, especially where it will close. Then, take a little bit of meat, place in center, and then close.

Bring salted water to boil. Add kreplach. Boil until they float. Remove as soon as they float, set aside to cool.

I used 2-3 packages of dough for 1.30 lbs of lean ground meat (raw).

I don't use puff pastry, just a simple dough. And then I fry them. There's no going back to boiled kreplach once you've done them fried. Smile

Pre-fast: hummous, soupy chicken stew, rice, some salad--probably tomato with cucumber, melon (retains water), halva (equivalent of energy bar), honey cake, tea.

Post-fast: honey cake and tea, juice, probably ends up with either toast with beans (me) or a bowl of cereal (DH). We always have problems when we get invited out--everyone seems to be serving bagels with lox and creamcheese, and we don't mix fish with dairy.

On YK, the shul is supposed to be ordering sandwiches and crudite for the kids. (what a brilliant idea!)
