  2. As Tu'BShvat is on Shabbat we have the wholeSshabbat to enjoy eating different food delicacies from your loving hands.

  5. My sister and I have always been VERY content to allow our mother to do all the cooking for our celebrations--primarily because she's a wonderful cook and we haven't developed her touch yet. She's never seemed to mind. She's just happy that everyone enjoys the meal. But I've been trying to step up lately and help her out a little more because I can tell her energy level is not what it used to be. I just keep it simple though--like cutting up the fresh collards for her, but she is still the one who actually cooks them. Like you, she starts preparing certain menu items ahead of time to make it easier.
