Yerushalmi

Those of you who are familiar with Judaism know that you have to cook a lot of food in preparing for shabbat. I try to make my shabbat meals special in that I always make at least one brand new thing that I've never made before, but also in that I make really complicated dishes in general.
I should specify that I don't actually know how to cook. At all. What I do know how to do is be a cooking robot: pick a recipe, follow the instructions exactly, and it comes out great.
I also tend to do the same thing in cooking as I do in playing the Final Fantasy games: pick the next dish in the book, in order.
So this week I am making:
Chicken Tajine (whatever that means) with peas, olives, and pickled lemons
This is part of my ongoing series of I-just-bought-a-really-awesome-new-cauldron-like-pot-for-main-courses-so-I'm-remaking-each-of-them-in-turn
Rice with pineapple
and raisins and onion and garlic and chili and soy sauce and peas and red pepper
Mafrum (whatever that means) - potatoes stuffed Tripoli-style
This week's new dish, which is apparently potatoes stuffed with meat and parsley and bread crumbs and coriander and all sorts of random spices, on a bed of vegetables (onions, carrots, peppers, cabbage, tomatoes, and...more peas).
So apparently this week I'm making lots of peas. Good thing I bought more.
