When the egg carton looks like this, it’s time for Passover
to be over.
Some photos from the second seder:
And it is, for now. Next year, in Jerusalem?
Things I learned during this Passover:
For Easter, Jesus did all the hard work. For Passover, the women do all the hard work.
It is possible to make it through Passover without making a
sponge cake. Whether my husband will
enjoy such a Passover is another question.
Regular matzo is the Bread of Affliction for those with a
wheat gluten allergy. And gluten-free
matzo doesn’t come cheap. For the second
night of Passover, we visited friends who follow a gluten-free diet. At one point in the seder, our friends’
teenaged son was reading the haggadah:
“This is the bread of poverty.... which costs $32 a box.”
For some people, Passover lasts 7 days.
According to my mother-in-law, “If you make the Passover
brownies without the oil, you will lose weight.”

Thank you for sharing this wonderful holiday with us!
LOVE the lamb shankbone! Where is it residing now? Do you feed him matzoh?
I've been eating saltines-without-salt and wondering how different from matzoh they really are . . . besides theologically, I mean . . .
Happy Done-Passover to all! xox
The lambkin resides at my friend's house. For a treat they feed the lamb some of that salad.
Saltines probably have some kind of leavening agent in them - baking soda, maybe? But both saltines and matzo come in a box, so they are in the same food group. The boxed food group.
That's the only kind of lamb I like to see on my plate, too!
Way to survive Passover. Your humor in all of this is awesome.
