We celebrated Rosh Hashanah today -- I did most of the cooking, because Dr. Skull is still recovering. We did buy brisket from Zabars, with overnight shipping, which was appalling expensive. But Dr. Skull was not up to making a brisket this year.
Also on the menu: asparagus, potatoes, fried apples with a bit of honey, and both plain and raisin challah.
The kids and I found some running water to throw our bread into. This was surprisingly hard*, mainly because of the flooding we've been having. The place I was planning to go to was barricaded off. But we found a place on Skull Creek that worked.
After that, we had dinner. Uncle Charger came over, and the kid and his husband. Shamus was very glad to see everyone, so glad that eventually I had to lock him in his crate for a bit.
Apple cider and white wine were beverages of choice. Honeycake for dessert.
A good time was had by all.
*In Fort Smith, we would drive over to the riverfront park, but the Arkansas river does not run through Fayetteville.
