Cleaning up after Succot

[hatam_soferet]

We had an Enormous Challah-Baking Splurge before yom tov, and anything that's left now is really past eating. Also, the fridge contains a lot of courgettes and carrots whose fellows were ingredients in other things, and of course there are all those etrogim.

So this evening I'm making a bread pudding (we have custard powder), a carrot-and-courgette soup, and etrog marmalade (scaries about pesticides notwithstanding; this is New York City, I probably ingest more poison daily just by breathing than I'd get from eating a zillion etrogim).

And all these are things which have a long simmering, soaking, or baking stage, so I can play on the internet wash the succah mud off the floor while they're cooking.
