Really, there are only going to be seven people at my seder tomorrow, and I feel like I’ve prepared for, like, a hundred. And I’m not even halfway there!
I can’t even think about what’s left to do. Yeesh. Main dish, side dishes, prepare the table and seder plate, dessert—oh, phew. Sarah’s making dessert. Plus, Mom picked up some of the fruit slices that the kids love so much.
I guess the best news is that my main dish is corned beef, due to a mix-up between my mother and brother when I last visited New Jersey, and corned beef is about the easiest thing to cook this side of toast. Just stick it in a pot of boiling water and ignore it for a couple of hours and it’s done.
You know, even though I’ve been helping my friend in NorVA the last few years, I’ve forgotten how much work Pesach can be.
Oh, well. Dinner tomorrow is going to be awesome, in any case. Plus, I get to have a seder in my own home, for the first time ever.
I am going to attempt to get a picture of Tig in a kippa. Sarah said she’d help.
Kippa on a cat?
Short of some adhesive, no way!
Velcro should work for the kippa.
I picked up enough Matzo to keep my son supplied, plus the toasted coconut marshmallows he likes.
I hear they are going to have a seder in the White House. Do you think they hunted out all the leaven? Who will ask the questions, I wonder? “On ordinary nights we may sit at ease or straight. Why on this night are we commanded to sit at ease?” “Because we just degraded the American people into dependent serfs and we’re celebrating. Next year Jerusalem.”
Tig in a kippa. The mind boggles.
The chocolate tort is done!
Chag Pesach sameach. L’shana haba’a biYerushalayim.
Charoset (Ashkenazi style). Gefilte fish, including salmon gefilte fish. Chopped liver with onions fried in goose schmaltz. SWMBO’s amazing chicken soup with both plain and whole wheat matzoh balls. Braised beef brisket. Roasted asparagus. Oven-baked sweet potato discs. And matzoh. Plenty of matzoh. For dessert? Bromo-Seltzer.
A sweet Pesach to you and your family. L’shana ha-ba’a biyrushalayim.
On a somewhat related issue… Egypt’s superstar archaeologist, Dr. Zahi Hawass, is playing the role of Passover grinch, as he’s decided to ban the miniscule Jewish community of Cairo from using the restored Rambam synagogue.

I’m guessing he’s still sore about the frogs, boils, and hail.
Dr. Zahi Hawass, is a propagandist and anti-semiet not an “archaeologist”..He will say and do anything to discredit Jews.
World famous putz is more like it.
opps I meant ‘semite’
