Whats for Shabbas?

For those of you who don't know, Shabbas is the Sabbath. It comese very week, ready or not. When the sun starts to go down Friday, all work needs to stop. So we have to be ready before. We wear nice clothes, set the table in a nice way, and eat nice food. Some people cook simply, others buy take out. I do neither. I cook big meals in a short time. I always have a planned menu and a shopping list to go with it. If you are organized you can be in and out of the kitchen in no time. The menu hanging on my fridge helps in so many ways. I know that if I am making 2 things with onions, I cut them all at the same time. It seems like a funny thing to think about but it helps make things faster. I love to be in the kitchen. I always have my ipod and ready to "boogie" as I cook.
So the same question every week, is "what's for Shabbas"?
I always like to try new stuff. I am sure my family would like plain chicken and kugel. but too bad!
I love finding recipes and changing them, and creating new recipes.
So this is this weeks menu:
Gefilte fish (i love to make it in different ways, but the boring people I live with, would have nothing to do with that) I always bake my fish though. a) i hate the smell of it boiling and b) I don't like the taste.
Chicken soup with matzoh balls. (i always say i am making them but often forget or run out of time)
I bought a piece of meat from the butcher. Not sure what cut it is but Zalman (my butcher) told me its like a first cut brisket.
Garlic asparagus
and i am giving in to the potato kugel.
Dessert is an oreo cake

Shabbas lunch we are eating out, but of course I am bringing dessert. I am bringing a fruit trifle and a small oreo cake.

recipes and pics will be posted soon.
Happy cooking.
