Cooking marathon day three – fun with undefrosted meat. Also shopping.

Today, I cooked the starches. I made dressing, rice pilaf and sweet potato kugel.

Rosh HaShanah 5775

It’s Monday. Rosh HaShanah starts Wednesday night. Not only is the deadline very close, but this also means that it’s a Thursday-Friday holiday. Since the next day is Shabbat, that makes it a 3-day Yom Tov. Which means planning and cooking six festive meals. For those with large families or many guests at all meals, that’s 6 Thanksgiving level meals. To be repeated twice more in a month.

This is why Orthodox Jewish cooks think Thanksgiving is a breeze.
