Noshing

What do members bring to share for dinner? A wide assortment of dishes, from grains, bulgur, quinoa, couscous, and pasta dishes (low-carb - not us), to salads, tofu, vegetable, and bean-based dishes. In the winter folks have brought vegetarian chili, ratatouille, dal and lasagna. In the summer lighter fare inlcudes lentil salad, tabouleh and pita with salatim. Randy’s butterscotch kugel is a favorite, and Laurie's famous vegetable salads can feed us all.

Our weekly announcements hold the secret key to ensuring our potlucks contain a variety of dishes, and hopefully avoid the fretful potluck failure: 15 desserts and one salad that must somehow feed a hungry crowd. We aim for balance, abundance and even blood sugar levels because though everyone loves cookies, sometime too much of a good thing is, well, too much.

Our kashrut policy is easy: Vegetarian/dairy food that is purchased or cooked at home should be ingredient kosher. This means all of the ingredients cooked with or listed on the packaging are kosher, i.e. contain no gelatin or other animal products. An official kosher symbol on the package is welcome but not required.
