Final Passover seder

To top off a very full day, we went to my friend Dawn's house for our seder. The gefilte fish that we made on Thursday came out really well and was a big hit. I think it will have to become an annual thing. And the folks who brought soup (neal did the cooking) kept the matzah balls separate, so I had soup AND gefilte fish for the first time in MANY years. We had excellent chicken (by Dave Satterlee) and brisket (by Meredith Thomson) and various side dishes. And for dessert, I made my special flourless Passover cake (with ground almonds) that came out especially nice this year. So needless to say, I thought it was a terrific seder.

My only regret is that we did not manage to engage the kids in the event at all. They spent all but a few minutes downstairs in the basement playroom. They had a wonderful time, but next year I would like to try harder to get them involved - the main purpose of Passover is to pass the story to the next generation!
