the nine days

The nine days are always a challenging time not just spiritually, physically  and especially  with our family & friends defending our homeland in Israel.
I always try to come up with a little something different than the usual  lasagna or eggplant parm though they are still great &yummy.Especially with all the great produce  I have been receiving from my CSA box and the fresh herbs from my garden.
So here is what Motti & I did for a couple of meals.
  sauteed summer squash with onion garlic,& olive oil(squash cut like spaghetti) with grilled salmon over jasmine rice. Sezchuan eggplant & green peppers for Tuesday night,a frittata  with beet greens,mushrooms fresh corn & swiss chard  served with roasted  rosemary, sage potatoes,beets and carrots .
And after a super  stressful exhausting week at work a very quiet  shabbat at home.
Wishing all my friends and family  both here and in Aretz a restful & peaceful shabbat.
and for the coming week a meaningful and east fast on Tisha  Ba'av
