heading into Shavuot

 Shavuot begins tonight.

My challah dough is made with barley to celebrate the barley harvest. I was moderately successful at making barley sheaf-shaped challot and round challot decorated with scored barley designs.

 Earlier today I made two big noodles with a sweetish cheese filling in between. It is less work than making actual blintzes.

We are also eating salmon as well as salad topped with roasted vegetables.

Wishing you a meaningful holiday.
