The Party's Over, It's time to Call it a Day...

I am always in awe how some people can get a Passover Seder dinner together in one day. For me it's hours and hours of prep for days beforehand and isn't it incredible like any Holiday meal, it's over in a couple hours?

The party's over...

Our Florida guest Penny and grand-children braved the crazy Wisconsin white landscape trek from an hour away to join us at our table. Snow had melted on our road albeit some nice ruts left by torrential rainfall pre snow. 

We sat down to an earlier than usual dinner as I was hoping to allow the littles to eat before they were passed the point of no return.  It's tough enough for adults to sit at the table so long.  

Natureman tried to get heavy on us reading about liberation and doing numerology looking for the numbers 4 and 10 and their relationship to 1.  Hey our commonality '1' was everybody wanted to get to the food.  Seriously. 

When it did come around to eating we did make a dent in the fixings.  As usual leftover containers refilled the shortly emptied fridge shelves and there was even brisket to be frozen. So I have a question for you cooks, if brisket is cut the wrong way, will it become any more tenderized if it's cooked longer?  Just checking. 

As we all know the important thing is sharing the Holidays and getting together to break 'Matzo'.  I had sent son Steven a 3 minute seder video so he could still partake and daughter Lori shared the evening with cousins in Atlanta.  We missed them and  the older grandchildren as they were on Spring Break with the other half of their family but maybe next year...  

It may not be next year in Jerusalem for us but perhaps we can aim for all of us in the End of the Rainbow Valley... 

From our Home to Yours,  Happy Passover!
