Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 > Good luck with all the catering Ruthie, you'll have to start up a > recipes file for us when you get back ;-)) Hi Caro and everyone; We are now in the intermediate days of Succot so I can use the pooter again. So far, we have had for festive meals with 20 for one, 15 for the next, 20 for the 3rd and 23 for the fourth. *phew* ! We cooked chicken, pickled brisket, tongue, fresh brisket and duck for the meats, and served two different meats for each of the meat meals (the 3rd meal was a fish meal), plus first courses, desserts, side dishes and salads. In general our guests prefer meat to fish so the fish meal, although delicious, wasn't voted the favourite. It's just that DH doesn't like two big meat meals in one day, even on a festival. > > Hope you got the booth constructed in time - is yours a real outdoors > one? I mean with a roof of vegetables and branches type thing? > love > Caro Yup, a sort of house affair; canvas walls stretched over steel slotted-together- frames which we store in our air raid shelter. (air raid shelters are mandatory in all Israeli buildings). The roof consists of rolled out bamboo matting, and large palm branches. The inside of the roof is decorated with quite Christmassy type decorations, tinsel garlands, hanging glittery baubles and the like. In the UK due to inclement weather, Sukkas have proper roofs which can open and close. (One isn't observing the laws of sitting in the sukka if the roof is closed, but sometimes the rain prevents it.) Some homes have Sukkas incorporated into a room in the house, with a domed opening roof. In Israel, as the weather is almost always lovely at this time of year, they mostly stick with the flimsiest of structures. Tomorrow we plan to take the grandchildren on a trip. I will take pics and hopefully upload. Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
