Never to Early to Plan

Every year around August it dawns on me that high holidays are around the corner.  Thanks to shifting nature of the lunar calendar I am not immediately sure which corner.  A mystery easily solved by googling. 

The googling is quickly followed by oggling of cooking sites and blogs for the perfect Rosh Hashanah menu.  A task made infinitely harder since I am a lactose intolerant vegetarian.  There is no substitute for brisket.....none.  So the hunt is on. 

For those of you not in the know, the traditional food is apples and honey.  Delicious, healthy and tough to make savory without dairy.  So any suggestions are appreciated.
