I am making orange glazed salmon and mashed yams tonight. While Jan is on her soft food diet this dish will be too hard for her to eat, however, Eilene wants something besides baby food for dinner.

Karl’s Green Bean Salad
I am making Greek lamb for Christmas Eve dinner with my sister, Karen. A lettuce salad does not seem like the right side dish. I thought I would do a cold green bean salad.

Karl’s Oyster Mushrooms and Leeks
I needed a hot vegetable dish that I could prep ahead and then quickly cook at the last minute. I had bought a leek that I did not use this week and I thought that would go nicely with oyster mushrooms (a favorite of Miriam and Chris). I would be cutting the leeks hours before I was intending to cook them. To keep them from drying out, I would keep them in cool water. To dry them out before sautéing, I would use the Salad Spinner that Miriam gave me for my birthday last year.

Karl’s Colorful Coleslaw
I have been doing a lot of Christmas cooking lately, so I have had very little time to blog about cooking. Earlier this week we had sausages and latkes for dinner. Coleslaw goes well with this meal, but I did not have enough of any one cabbage to make it.

Karl’s Roasted Cauliflower Leyden au Gratin
Jan’s first fieldwork was with the Kwinti Maroons of Suranam. To follow up on the records of this people she had to spend some time searching the colonial records in Holland. While she was there she fell in love with Leyden cheese, which is a Gouda cheese with cumin seeds.

Karl’s Rotkohl
I had planned on making this German feast last year, but the meal fell apart. I think Miriam got sent off to Peru for work (just like she is today). Chris is still coming over, so I am going to go ahead and make it this time.

Karl’s Mock Georgian Shilaplavi with Mushrooms
Adapted from Djurenko.com and 17recipes.com
Georgian Shilaplavi is a rice dish that is described as being like a risotto. I have some diners who prefer little or no starch. I have learned that cauliflower is a versatile and good substitute. It is filling and can be “manipulated” in a number of ways to imitate some starch ingredients.

Karl’s Georgian Butternut Squash Soup
Our friends Pat and Jim “squash bombed” us a few weeks ago. This was literally a baby sized squash 8 pounds and 20 inches long. I roasted it and used much of it in a mitzvah lasagna for a friend whose cancer has come back for the third time. I am using the rest in tonight’s soup.

Karl’s Georgian Spinach with Eggs and Green Onions
Adapted from a family recipe posted by georgianrecipes
My Georgian feast was lacking in green vegetables. According to Georgian Recipes, spinach is a popular ingredient in Georgian cuisine. This dish sounded good, but of course I was incapable of making it “as written.”

Karl’s Moroccan Kale and Mushrooms
I usually try to make three dishes for my Sunday feasts. I am trying to work around peoples whose diets are completely at odds with each other. Some diners are starch eaters, other are low or no starch eaters. Some people want lots of meat, others want lots of vegetables. I make three dishes so that everyone may balance their meal to their own satisfaction.
