Some of my brothers like kugel with the stringy blade and some with the kugel blade, so I pulled a Shlomo Hamelech and did half and half.

My mother always says her daughters-in-law will thank her, I think because I’m always helping her in the kitchen. With a house full of boys, we’re the ones who help out before Shabbos and Yom Tov. So here I am, getting ready to wow my family with the best Shabbos food they’ve ever tasted. Since some of my brothers live on bread and cheese 24/7, I thought it was pretty safe to keep the menu as close to my mother’s as possible — after all, I wanted everyone to enjoy the food that I was going to work so hard cooking.
At the same time, I decided to spice up the menu and include some special treats. I figured I’d try my hand at making a dip, since we usually buy them. I like spicy dips, so pizza dip was a no-brainer. Soup, kneidlach, potato kugel, cholent: basics. My house is literally drowning in cucumbers and apples, thanks to the COVID-19 government food program, so I added cucumber salad to the menu. (Why Trump thinks that kids nosh on cucumbers for a snack is beyond me, but he didn’t ask my opinion.) I also included apple crisp because that’s something everyone likes, especially me.
