Today we celebrated my granddaughter’s baby naming. It was at my house, and it was a beautiful occasion. My daughter and son said some prayers, my grandsons read a poem, and we all ate lots of delicious food. It also was the Jewish holiday of Shavuous, and so we enjoyed some outstanding dairy dishes.
My menu was:

Another Kugel (not as good)
2 macaroni and cheese casseroles
1 spanikopita
1 mushroom quiche
1 blueberry french toast casserole (the favorite dish of the day, along with the macaroni and cheese, and Sister’s Noodle Kugel
