The weekend was a blur.
It was fantastic. The Seder we made was fabulous, from the food to the company. I really got a huge kick out of hosting this holiday. I've always enjoyed attending it at my folks' home, but it's something quite different 'being in charge'.
My first attempt at Matzo ball and chicken soup was a hit. My daughter, who is the matzo ball soup maven, gave it a 2 thumbs up. And, she ate it for leftovers on Monday night and raved all over again!
I managed the food very nicely, from the soup to the nuts, literally, and all the stuff in between. This included: gefilte fish (with lots of horseradish!), charosis (Dad's home-made!), roast chicken, baked potatoes, potato kuggel (store bought), salad (with Linda's home-made dressing!), olives, pickles and matzah. The meal was completed with some coffee and chocolate and almond macaroons for dessert.
The weekend was very full in many ways. As we celebrated the holiday of freedom, I was able to stretch my culinary skills that was WAY out of my comfort zone. This was a freeing experience for me. In my relationship with Linda, I have beeen given the freedom to try new things with the support and encouragment she gives me. It's just incredible and I so appreciate the opportunity to broaden my horizens, so to speak.
My stomach was very full, as was my heart and spirit. It was a wonderful Pesach weekend filled with friends, family and loved ones.
The meal sounds perfect! And belated joy and blessings to you and yours.
