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.”
