Plans for the High Holy Days?
I just realized I have performances on all relevant nights. I could maybe make the daytime services but that's about it.
Anyone planning anything special?

Re: Plans for the High Holy Days?
It's Jordana's first holiday!!  We had hoped to be in Israel with DH's family, but I think we will stay local and be with my family.

Re: Plans for the High Holy Days?
I'm going to LI like I always do. We always have big family dinners/lunches before and after the Rosh Hashanah services. Also, our 1st Anniversary is the following Monday. Our cake is in my grandparent's freezer so I guess we'll defrost it and try it that weekend. I'm not really looking forward to trying it.

Re: Plans for the High Holy Days?
Friday night, I'll make a nice Shabbot/Rosh Hashona dinner for just DH and myself, and then on Saturday, we are making the schlep out to Pt. Jeff to my Dad for the first day and then to Queens to my IL's for the second day. There was a time, I was more religious than I am now and wouldn't even entertain the thought of driving! I do not however, drive, watch TV, or do any work related type things on Yom Kippur.
I have to admit though, I do like when they fall on the weekends this way I don't have to use any of my PTO time!

My family is Aschkenazi and my mom is European/Israeli so we always have Turkey (sometimes also brisket or sweet meatballs), Israeli Salda, Potato kugel, noodle kugle, Matzo ball soup, Tzimmis and Green Bean cassarole.
DH is sephardic and hates ashkenazi food and my BIL is from a very American family, so sometimes we substitute roasted potatoes or mashed potatoes. My apartment is tiny, but when we move and can I host I would like to incorporate more sephardic dishes.

Re: Plans for the High Holy Days?
I'll make a roast chicken, matzoh ball soup, salad, green bean casserole (would love to make tzimus, but DH hates carrots)
Growing up it was like this:
First night after my father came home from services, we had dinner as described above
first day after services we'd have brisket, potatos, soup, salad tzmius, kugel
second day after services we'd have chulent that my mother cooked for almost 24 hours in the crock pot - YUM!!! Since my parents have split up, I haven't had chulent in YEARS, and miss it soooo much!
ETA: For those that don't know what chulent is:
Whether you pronounce it with a short O as in _corn_ or with OO as in _cool_, the fact remains that cholent is unequivocally Jewish cuisine. It was born of Orthodox Jewish observance of the Sabbath, when fires could not be kindled. Instead, families would either leave a real low oven going at home or take their pots to the village baker and let the food cook overnight.
Some contend that every slow-cooking dish made with beans derives from this Jewish technique. There is no doubt that, in Hungary, it evolved into "shalet," one of the national dishes, while the Pilgrims, after spending time with Sephardic Jews in Holland, adopted it prior to sailing to the New World. The substitutions they later had to make for some ingredients resulted in Boston baked beans.
The origin of cholent is likely in the pre-Inquisition Sephardic kitchen. From there, it probably "traveled" to Alsace, where it is believed to have been called "chault-lent;" Old French for hot and slow. When it was then brought to Germany and Eastern Europe, it took on the basic composition which characterizes it today. Whether the _hamin_ of Sephardic communities, the cholent of Ashkenazic ones, or a fusion of the two, it is still favored by many for Shabbat, particularly on a cold winter day.

We actually make tzimmis without carrots. When I was a kid I insisted on it, and we have stuck with it ever since.

It's actually pretty boring. Sweet ootatoes and prunes, honey, cinnamon and some sugar. It is yummy! My family is so used to it because we have been eating it for years! But DH can't stand it. WHen I was a kid I liked everything very sweet.
As for Chullent, we went to a friends house for shabbat and had an amazing Bucharian chullent. I am dying for the recipe. I haven't be able to find it online and the woman who made it hasn't given it to me yet.

That is going to be so much fun!! I wont' be giving Jordana any matza balls, but it is going to be her first high holidays. I just bought her an outfit that she will also wear to my friend's wedding in Cali next Sunday. SO CUTE!!!

I think I'm going to BEG my mother for her chulent recipe. I swear, I've never had any that is as good as my mothers, and she just refuses to give it up.

Re: Plans for the High Holy Days?
Sounds interesting, but I don't liek sweet food and FH won't eat sweet potatos and prunes.
Maybe I can learn how to make kugel.
FH is always excited when I learn how to make the foods he is used to eating on the holidays.

Re: Plans for the High Holy Days?
I'm not sure yet...it hasn't been discussed.
The Jewish holidays are always at my parents house. But, their house is for sale, and they should be closing on their new apt soon...
And I have no kitchen...
Well ok, I have appliances, but no cabinets or counters 
Should be an intereting holiday

I really do not want to rush the stress over the holiday plans...
DH's family has 5 events for every single holiday. God help me.

Re: Plans for the High Holy Days?
This year I will be recovering from having a baby (due on the 13th)
We *think* we are going to surprise 1 family per holiday though and show up at their house to show off our baby. Really depends on how I feel and if the baby has had his/her shots yet.
