We celebrated the New Year with dinner & friends. I made challah again this year, but after much practice (see Facebook posting about the 100 loaves), it was much better this year. I learned that if you don't use really old yeast, your dough has a better chance of rising. Check out this fabulous challah!
The dinner menu consisted only of items with apples and/or honey (except for the rice). So, we had honey apricot glazed chicken, apple spinach salad, apples & honey, challah (made with honey), and rice (no apples, no honey). And for dessert, apple butter cake! So yummy!
The kids had a great time helping with everything. Gavi chose the recipies and set the table. Juliana made place cards. Ben and Juliana kneaded challah dough. Everyone made New Year posters. Gavi did the best job ever at reading the blessings in Hebrew (no transliteration for her) - and she even got the special parts for Shabbat in there.
