Rosh Hashana food

[cellio]

Friday we're having guests and eating:

• apples and honey (I have four varieties of apples, so everyone will get an assortment of slices)
  
• challah
  
• gefilte fish with carrots
  
• roasted chicken with oregano, rosemary, sage, and garlic
  
• acorn squash (baked, with either margarine or raisins and honey)
  
• coleslaw
  
• dessert (brought by guests)

Saturday lunch it's just us:

• apples, honey, challah
  
• chicken with apricot sauce
  
• pasta salad with vegetables
  
• coleslaw
  
• whatever dessert is left over from Friday

Saturday night is out. Sunday we're having guests who don't eat meat (but do eat fish):

• apples, honey, challah
  
• papaya (my usual "new fruit" is starfruit, but the store didn't have any)
  
• baked orange roughy (not sure exactly what I'm doing to it yet -- maybe with sliced tomatos and herbs, or maybe cooked in orange juice)
  
• acorn squash
  
• steamed broccoli florets
  
• cake, cookies

(I wanted soup with this meal, but the store didn't have any parve soups pre-made and I didn't have time to make something.)

The apple and honey combination sounds absolutely delicious right now. May have to make something like that this weekend.

What do you put in the apricot sauce for the chicken?

I bought this particular apricot chicken from the hot-foods section at kosher mart, so I don't know. In the past, though, I've had good luck with using preserves as a glaze -- slather chicken with preserves, bake at high heat (425 or 450) until meat thermometer says done. (I don't think I've done this with apricot yet, but it's worked well with peach preserves and orange marmalade.)
