I love Friday Shabbat dinners. I've always loved them. In my family, it means that we all commit to being home by 6, and we have a special, long meal where we all get to catch up on each other.
Last Friday, I made a really elaborate meal: cheese tray, homemade sushi, edamami, bubble tea, homemade challah, and chocolate covered strawberries. I have pictures on my flickr account. I was cooking with my dad, and he was teaching me how to tell when the challah was ready. We were singing along to Marc Cohen or the Dave Matthews Band or Smash Mouth on iTunes, and attempting to make sushi. (We both had very different ideas about how to make a sushi roll - neither of us was particularly right!)
I love spending this time with him, and I love the time that I am able to spend with my family right now. I'm not afraid of moving out and living by myself, I just don't want to leave my family. And thus the conundrum: there are many things I would like to do in life that my family can't do with me.
