Hi, I’m robin and I read your blog regularly- it’s quite a treat :). I’ve just started learning to cook (probably a bit late, since i’m already 19, but oh well). I made baked macaroni and cheese last night at the welch’s ( I got the idea from your book, “building her house” ) I love this idea of a sabbath dinner. I’ve been trying to get my family to try it out for some time now. I had my mom read some of your writings on Sabbath feasts and she says that we’re going to give it a try. (starting small of course, but we’re going to have everyone together and read scripture and have a bit of a nicer meal). So, anyway, thank you for promoting such a wonderful practice.

We have yet to get the hang of sabbath prep meal. But I’m feeling like this could be the week! I’m always so inspired. Thank you.

Do you really have eleven leaves?! Where do you get such a table that can shrink and collapse so much??

Thank you so much for the encouragement. My family has been enjoying Sabbath Eve meals for about six months now. This past Saturday my husband was out of town until 5:30 which is when we usually begin our meal. The Sabbath eve meal was going to be a good welcome home. I made many prep mistakes…the first of which was going to the grocery store at 2:00 on Saturday to purchase the ingredients. By the time I got home at 3:30, I was exhausted, and my 5,3, and 1 year old were not going to cooperate with me cooking for a couple hours. So I went to plan B and made easy cream of cauliflower soup with cheese and crackers and fruit. Frozen Yogurt for desert. Nothing spectacular, but for my kids it was still grand because we had the three small candles lit on the table and they had their special drink (candy corn flavored soda this week). I’m glad to be reminded that with young ones underfoot it may not always be possible to prepare a “feast”, and the importance of planning ahead. You’ve encouraged me to keep it up even when it may not meet my grand expectations. Lord willing, another season of life will offer more uninterrupted time in the kitchen.
