This is a tricky one.
Sarah and I are doing a medieval-Spanish-Jewish themed feast as a fundraiser for our synagogue.
For various reasons, we're doing it on Sunday November 14.
This is in Maywood NJ.
All the cooking has to be done in the Synagogue kitchen because we keep dairy kosher for the synagogue. We'll be pre-cooking Saturday night and cooking Sunday.
If any of my friends list can help out, I would really appreciate it-- and would feed you for free, of course!

The feast menu is:

A Medieval Spanish Feast

Take a trip back to the time of the Convivencia between Jews, Muslims and Christians in Iberia.
This served dinner will include a wide variety of pareve and milcheg dishes known in Castile and Catalonia, including typical Jewish cooking of the time.

50 seats available. $40/person for adults*, $10/under 13, free for children under 5.
*Remember, this is a fundraiser.

Sorry - I don't think we can make it after all. Looking at the timing and the distance, with Tirzah having to get up at 4:30 am for work on Monday it's just too far. Hope you guys have fun with it though.
