Tonight we have in-person guests, an old friend of my husband's and his family. We will be eating-- Chicken with za'atar and lots of lemon and lime, and potatoes cooked with red peppers and paprika. Not pictured is the cooked eggplant and zucchini. My husband will be making a green salad. More work is being done on tallitot and atarot. Ribbon is being embroidered to edge the atarot. This one needs another layer of embroidery. I think this one is complete but will be stitched down with bronze thread to add an extra bit of wonderful. This where it goes-- The combination makes my eyes happy. And we are eating cake for dessert. A faked blueberry citrus cake--meaning made without a recipe. Aside from the blueberries, the cake is flavored with lots of lemon and lime peel, ginger, some fresh lemon juice, limoncello, and orange juice. I prepared the bunt pan with coconut oil and sugar so it has a crunchy crust. And now I go take a pre-dinner nap. Shabbat Shalom!
