To steal a phrase from mamadeb, I am parallel-processing woman tonight.

Tonight I made:
- honey chicken for tomorrow night
- barbeque chicken for Shabbat
- gefilte fish
- "pineapple" kugel (except I didn't have pineapple so I used mandarins instead), recipe via cahwyguy
- three honey cakes
- two dozen hard-boiled eggs (don't need 'em until Yom Kippur break-fast, but as long as I was cooking anyway...)
- tonight's dinner (baked fish and roasted corn)

Not bad for two hours' work. (Well, plus baking time at the end, but I didn't have to participate.)

I made stewed veggies Sunday, and I'll make salads at the last minute. I might roast some veggies for Shabbat; today's visit to the farmer's market resulted in some good options there. And I have fruit, of course, including the obligatory apples and honey.

Yup, I think I'm just about ready culinarily.

We haven't even started thinking about tomorrow night's dinner. I think we have some chicken breasts in the fridge. I'll probably throw something together when I get home before we go to services (we have late services, at 8:45 )

I'm going to the early services (6:00), so I really had to figure out tonight what I was doing. But the evening started with taking the chicken out of the fridge and thinking about what to do with it while prepping the water for the gefilte fish. I knew I could do something with chicken (two different somethings, in this case), but didn't know what until two minutes before I started.

We'll probably do my famous honey-mustard chicken, which is an easy dish. In a skillet pan (for which you have a good heavy lid, like a scanpan), brown some onions (finely chopped) and garlic. Throw in the chicken to brown. Once brown, spoon dijon mustard onto the chicken and top with honey. Pour over about ¼ to ½ cup of white wine, immediately cover and turn down the heat to low. After about 20 min, turn the chicken. After 20 minutes, turn again. Thicken the sauce, as necessary, with cornstarch. Serve over rice.

That chicken sounds tasty. Thanks!

It's so cute to watch kids play with their new toys. :-)

What's nice is that basic way of chicken works with almost any non-dairy based salad dressing. Simply use the dressing instead of the honey and mustard.
