Well Saturday morning at 7:27 we had a baby boy, Adam Eitan, 8 lbs 2 oz 20 1/2 inches long. Everyone is doing fine and now we're just starting to realize what having two kids is going to be like, our daughter is 22 months old and beautiful (I had to add that). Anyway Shabbos being what it is we thought there might be a problem finding a mohel who would come out to Marlboro MA, but that proved not to be a problem and the mohel will be here next Saturday. So we "let it be known" to the family that there will be a Bris next Saturday, but now the food. I don't keep a Kosher home, but indulging my idiosyncratic self, I'd like to have Kosher delni trays for the 5:00 Bris. Any ideas to a family with one refrigerator and lots of relatives to feed. One tired Dad, Marc

| 968.2 | get a deli to make up platters | CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSON | Mon Aug 20 1990 19:52 | 15 | |
Congratulations on the new arrival!
Since you don't keep kosher normally, and are unlikely to want to
kasher your house between now and next Shabbat, especially with a new
baby and all, you are probably OK with the relatives/friends if you
just provide "acceptable" foods on trays, with paper plates and napkins
and disposble tableware. You are probably safer with dairy items.
Call some delis and ask about having them make up platters of bagels,
various fish, cheeses, etc. Even if some of your family are relatively
strict about what they eat, they will probably eat dairy food if you
have a kosher deli make up the platters and do not use your normal
kitchen utensils, etc. Try calling some of the places in Worcester
(closer than Brookline), and try Hurwitz's kosher butcher shop in
Framingham (they are on route 126, not a real long drive from here) if
you want a meat platter.

| 968.3 | Try Cafe Shalom | NOVA::WASSERMAN | Deb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863 | Mon Aug 20 1990 20:06 | 10 |
Yes, platters are the way to go. For our son's bris last fall, we had
Cafe Shalom in Brookline make up dairy platters of salads, lox, etc.
and my sister-in-law who lives in Boston brought them up to our house
in NH the night before. We served everything on paper/plastic. They
can also supply a large braided challah, which was very nice. We
ordered everything over the phone. A suggestion... have someone buy
the bagels at a real bagel place. The bagels sent by Cafe Shalom
weren't that good, plus there weren't enough. (We ended up making a
panic call to our friends in Nashua at 7 a.m. to ask them to run to
Bagel Alley!). Everything turned out very well in the end!

The way I read the base note, the question isn't what to serve, but how to keep it. Rent or borrow another refrigerator. | |||||
