Our Sukkah

Here is the sukkah where I had my Sukkot meal in 5774. It's at Temple B'nai Shalom, Fairfax Station, Virginia.

Mr. Bento Returns for Sukkot

I often used to take my lunch to work in a Zojirushi Mr. Bento -- this Mr. Bento. More recently, I take it out for use once a year, to bring my meal to our synagogue's sukkah for a Sukkot.

This year, I made a spicy soy sauce poached mahi mahi fillet, with brown basmati rice, a dashi broth with corn and wakame, and a dessert of sliced strawberries and balsamic vinegar.

Mr. Bento in the Succah

For the first time since I retired in May 2008, I took out Mr. Bento. We went for dinner in our synagogue's succah. I brought baked chicken (smoked paprika on top) over mushroom rice, dilled carrots, honeycake, and 3-seed bread. Then we blessed and shook the lulav and the etrog.
