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.”

| I love this solution to finding a lamb shankbone! |
Thank you for sharing this wonderful holiday with us!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the lamb shankbone! Where is it residing now? Do you feed him matzoh?
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteSaltines 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!
ReplyDeleteWay to survive Passover. Your humor in all of this is awesome.
