What's your menu this Shabbos for Third-Meal, Erev Tisha'ah B'Av?

I'm still undecided....
But, pretty sure Grilled Salmon is on the menu...
need to think what else to serve with it....

All dh wants is jarred gefilte fish shock

and lots of challah. I have somewhat higher standards, so definitely a lukshen-cheese kugel and some salads. Grapes, maybe watermelon.

We're having a guest with severe health issues and lots of diet restrictions so I'll have to plan something for him too, after I speak to him and find out what the restrictions are.

DH will likely have fleishics, I'll have lots of salad, quinoa or kasha and probably some baked salmon. We eat really differently. Best to go heavy on the fresh veggies and whole grains, add some light protein (chicken breast, fish, or raw nuts).

Don't forget to take your multi- or prenatal vitamin before the fast with LOTS of water! Smile

We don't eat fish before a fast and I thought it was a universal thing. I guess I was wrong. And I had to laugh when I read the grapes and watermellon because that's something my mother always insisted we ate before a fast. I also drink vitamin water all day.

I'm thinking of having a crock pot with Chicken, brown rice, and potatoes. I can't think of anything to serve that is as filling and won't be too heavy. Plus my husband does not like tuna, eggs, or fish. So there is not really any good protien to serve that meal. I checked and it is okay to eat meat until shkia on shabbos.
Does anybody leave a cholent on the blech ever? How do you do it?
I'm trying to think of a way to free up my crockpot if I cannot find a 2nd one to borrow.

I thought that fish is frowned upon because it makes you thirsty. Correct me if I am wrong.

I make my chulent every week in a pot and put it on the blech for shabbos. Dh likes it much better than in the crockpot. On Friday morning I make the chulent in a pot and let it cook directly on the flame. Later on I just put it on the blech directly on top of the fire. If it is bubbling too much I slide in slightly away from the flame. It's soo easy and comes out great! (Just be careful if you keep it on top of a flame that is too strong your water will dry up quickly.)

Chaylizi, we do eat fish before Yom Kippur, but it is the first meal we eat fish at. THe second meal is usually light proteins and starch, with lots of fluid.

He doesn't make siyums unless they happen to fall out. He was ready to make a siyum about 3 weeks ago (from daf yomi) and hasn't made it yet and will not make during the 9 days for that reason. We eat plenty:

Pizza
Falafel and Pita
Eggplant Parmesan (easy - not fried)
avacado spread sandwiches

lots of soups and salads - we will not starve!

Tonight I'm making teriyaki salmon and I'm hoping that he will give in and eat it - especially because it was so expensive. I like it so I will enjoy it. I have some maccaroni and cheese ready as a back just in case.

I'm not really sure myself.
I was thinking of layering brown rice, sliced sweet potatoe and chicken in the crockpot then spreaking duck sauce on top of the chicken. Adding water - I am not sure how much. I would probably set it on 5 to cook through before shabbos. Add more water before shabbos and then lower to 3.

I have never done this before so I would appreciate any ideas from people who have.

I think I buy bagels just in case this does not work -we could always eat after the fast also

I'm making a loxs salad with lettuce, eggs, asparagus olives and mayo dressing and then pastrami wraps. Yes, fish and meat as light as I can make it. DH always makes a big inyan when shabbos comes out close to 9 av.

I always make crockpot chicken for lunch, so I wanted to see how someone else made it! Here's my recipe:
