Rosh Hashanah Dinner 2012

My friends at Savanna Club are very kind and thoughtful about including me in various activities.  

I felt very honored to be invited to celebrate Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) at the home of Sheila and George Soto.
 
The meal began with chopped liver, which I was able to eat thanks to Suzanne's good recipe!  Ron made some delicious matzo ball soup from scratch.  (A matzo ball is a dumpling made from matzah meal, eggs, and oil.)

Rosh Hashanah meals usually include apples and honey to symbolize a sweet new year. 

George and Suzanne with round challah bread to symbolize the cycle of the year.  It was so moist.

 Bobbie, Sheila, Larry, Daryl & Ron

Sheila made kasha varnishkes (buckwheat groats cooked with onions and chicken stock, then mixed with bowtie pasta), carrots, flat point brisket (to die for!) and Moroccan chicken.

 For dessert we had rugulah pastry and apple cake. Deana surprised Sheila with an early birthday cake.

Happy Birthday, Sheila!

What a nice evening with good friends!  Thank you, Sheila and George, and "Shanah Tovah" (for a good year).
