;:- High Holiday Success: Early Preparation EILEEN GOLTZ SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS o doubt about it, when the High Holidays roll around we absolutely, positively try and direct all our thoughts to a higher level. However, there comes a point somewhere after the Torah service where those random thoughts of "I wonder if I have enough food" or "will I be able to beat everyone home to get things on the table before every- one gets there" intrude. Relax and know everyone else is worrying about holiday meals,too. Services all get out about the same time and every- one wants to be able to be a guest at his own table. The key to mak- ing it happen, how- ever, is being able to have things ready to go as soon as you walk through the door. With the ex- ception of rewarm- ing the main course or side dishes or cholent, everything should be on serving plates, cov- ered and ready to set out. Keep- ing with the early prep motif you should set your table the day be- fore and the wine and challah can be put out just before everyone sits down. Don't, however, cut the apples for the apple and honey until just before you serve them. The ap- ple slices will brown unless coat- ed with lemon juice and quite frankly I think they taste better au natural. Finding recipes that lend themselves to early preparation and still taste great when re- heated is sometimes a challenge. The following recipes all incor- porate either apples or honey or both and can all be made well in advance of your meal. N Shoes and Dancewear 247 W.
