a sorta seder

You know how we do the Jewish holidays half-assed around here. Well, passover was no exception. But I think we were maybe quarter-assed even this year. Last year, I did try to make the Seder plate but I didn’t have all of the stuff to put on it. So we really winged it. Really. I put a stuffed sheep in for the lamb shank and printed pictures of other stuff off the internet and cut it out and put it on the plate. We never follow the haggadah, just talk about the parts we like (like the plagues). 

This year we didn’t even DO a seder plate. In my defense, I did shoot a wedding all day and just wasn’t up to cutting and pasting on the internet. Grandma cooked (so that takes care of her cooking til 2009) a delicious brisket with gush (potatoes, carrots & peas). Grandpa told the story of passover with Timmy’s help on the frog plague part. He loves that part! And we put out a glass of wine and left the front door open for Elijah. Timmy was very proud and happy to use his Matzah cover that he made at school- which he’d rather wear on his head. Jack found the afficomin (the matzah hidden around the house) and both big boys got $1.

So, "why is this night different from all other nights?"- Grandma cooked and we had matzah with dinner, and Grandma has one Jewish grandson. Happy Passover.
