We had an odd, but enjoyable Seder tonight. Just the three of us, Robin, Madeline and myself. With Robin getting up at the crack of dawn to drive her school bus, driving to Cincinnati was just a bit too much for a school night. Passover is one of my favorite holidays. I feel like a part of something - people all over the world are participating something that's been going on for thousands of years. Anyway, Robin whipped up a fantastic trip down memory lane for dinner. First up, matzah ball soup (we learned something new - the matzah balls grow when you cook 'em. The directions say to make a dozen 1" diameter balls, and we're thinking, that's not a matzah ball, that's a matzah marble. There's only 3 of us, let's just make 3 matzah balls. Well, they came out the size of softballs. Almost ruined dinner, I filled up so much on soup). Then gefilte fish (from a jar, though driving to Nancy and Howard's for home made might have been worth the trip), but the horseradish I found at the Johnstown Kroger was wimpy! Finally, beef brisket. Man, that brings back memories; Grandma, Seder at Aunt Yetta's apartment. Let's not forget the Mogen David sweet as syrup wine. Mmmmmm.
Seder ended, dishes done, and I'm beached on the sofa. Not a bad night.
We missed having Perrin at the table, but last we heard, the UT flute studio was having a Seder. Pretty cool. I'll have to check in with her and see how it went.
Tomorrow, the tradition continues: peanut butter and jelly on matzah.
