$\"\"$ ChezHelvetica celebrated Rosh Hashanah<\/em> with joy and excitement for the New Year, surrounded by treasured gifts and love from family and friends. Hand-painted Jewish Star candlesticks from sister Abby and\u00a0Rosenthal <\/em>China with\u00a0Georg Jensen<\/em> Cactus Sterling Silver from my parents adorned the table. $\"\"$ With a nod to traditional holiday foods, this evening’s menu circled the globe presenting delicious gourmet dishes. Our first course included\u00a0Noe Valley Bakery<\/em> Challah and\u00a0Fuji<\/em> and Honeycrisp<\/em> Apples with O Organics<\/em> Honey along\u00a0House of Bagels<\/em> Lox nested in Basil leaves with Campari<\/em> Tomatoes and Trader Joe’s<\/em> Greek Medley Olives, served with luscious HOB<\/em> Cream Cheese. Incredible Matzo Ball Soup made by my dear friend Joan was a kaleidoscope of orange, yellow and purple Carrots, Rutabaga and Ginger. $\"\"$ $\"\"$ Our main course featured a triptych of Middle Eastern entr\u00e9es: Cinnamon-scented TJ’s<\/em> Israeli Couscous (made with Pine Nuts, Shallots and Raisins), Honey Dijon Garlic Chicken Breasts<\/a> and Eggplant with Tomatoes, topped by Pomegranate Seeds. Jewish legend professes Pomegranates are symbols of righteousness with the seeds holding luck and wisdom. Vi\u00f1as Chilenas Rosario Estate Reserva<\/em> Merlot added even more happiness to the occasion. The wonderful desserts for this sweet holiday were Rugelach and Fruit Tarts. L’Shanah Tova!\u00a0<\/strong>A good year to all!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
