I’m beat. Have to clean the kitchen now, set the table. Low and slow short ribs 4 hrs at 250 with mire-poix and various herbs, marsala, dried apricots and some figs; breaking down beautiful huge greenmarket chicken whose-life-has-been-a-joy running in open fields eating organic and doing yoga; stewing-hen in beautiful beef broth from, yesterday; more chicken for soup; chpped apples walnuts honey + a soupçon of Manishewitz; hard-boiled eggs; roasting peeling turnips, leeks, leeks, carrots, parsnips, fresh horseradish root. Halved little cherry tomatoes because gefilte fish on a plate, even with a touch of lettuce, looks like a white turd. Also duck fat crispies (_gribenes_) for mashed potatoes. Sweet pea pods. I’m beat. Next year in Jerusalem maybe. Mods, you can close this thread. ---
