Before and After

Subzero temperatures seem to lend themselves to leisurely Shabbos preparations. (So leisurely, in fact, that I almost forgot to make the salmon!) Luckily, this week's recipe (from Old Bay) was super-quick and foolproof:

Zingy Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup ketchup

2 teaspoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons OLD BAY® Seasoning

Directions
In a small bowl, mix honey, ketchup, lemon juice and OLD BAY until well blended.

I use this on salmon and chicken with equally great results. Brush it on and bake till done.
(No, that's not the salmon in the photo above. Those would be the chicken stew and the quinoa, respectively, which for some reason proved far more photogenic than the fish.)

After havdallah, it was time for a quick tidy-up. (Denny, if you're reading this, will you please come install my dishwasher? My dishpan hands are waiting...) Thankfully, the littles have developed an affinity for sweeping, so with their help, things got done in twice the time no time at all.

  1. Never get rid of those cabinets. They are amazing. Is that a cork floor??

Thanks for taking the time to comment...it makes me feel a little less like I'm talking to myself again.
