Parashat Vayeshev

Happy Thanksgiving!

Because of extenuating circumstances (Thanksgiving feast travels and no computer access), I will once again rely on the archives for this week's offering. Next week, bli neder, I will get back into creativity mode.

Even though we will be out for the meals for this shabbat, we will help with the preparations, so Yosef's amazing coat of many colors can take center stage. A layered salad (a la one of the Kosher by Design cookbooks), striped vegetable terrine, striped jel dessert, and colorful striped table accessories will be prominently featured.

We will also serve foods to represent Yosef's dreams that so infuriated his brothers: star shaped muffins beside a butternut squash sunburst and a mashed potato moon. String beans and steamed carrot fingers tied with scallion will stand in for the sheaves of grain in Yosef's dream. His bundle will be made of asparagus tied togehter with the green onion.

Again, see the archives for how to get the baker's and butler's dreams into the meal and how to inlcude a punny food related to Yosef's time in a pit.

Have a colorful shabbat!
