A few days later, the table was set for the seder ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020671 as Suzanne and Josephine prepared ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020672 matzah balls ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020673 kugel ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020674 potatoes ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020675 and cream was being carefully whipped ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020676 which amused Josephine ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020677 as the brisket appeared ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020678 along with matzah bark ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020679 and a host of other things ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020680 including macaroons ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020681 and this gift basket which came from people who couldn't make it ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020682 and a flourless cake ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020683 with forks to match ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020684 as the potatoes were readied ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020685 as were the matzah balls ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020686 and eggs ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020687 which went through the whisking process ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020688 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020689 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020690 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020691 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020692 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020693 before attention went to the tomatoes ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020694 and asparagus ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020695 and the lovely fruit bowl ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020696 as the caps from the auction beer ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020697 and then the beaters started churning ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020698 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020699 as lemons were squeezed ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020700 and not added to the mix ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020701 but rather to the double boiler ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020702 as the kitchen laptop was consulted for instructions ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020703 and the plates for gefilte fish were set out ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020704 and prepared. ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020705 At this point, Ben arrived with his room mates who had no idea what was ahead. ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020706 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020707 and Dr Len appeared as a shriner from Morocco, a non-existent concept. ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020708 Then, Andrew Ford arrived ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020709 to be followed by Martha ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020710 and Bill ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020711 who breezed in ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020712 with arms full of wine ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020713 which was displayed and then consumed ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020714 as DrLen and Judy posed in native garb ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020715 before all were assembled ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020716 and liquids were organized ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020717 which amused Suzanne at the opposite end of the table ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020718 as we turned to a discussion of the seder plate ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020719 even as DrLen showed off the songbook to Martha's amusement ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020720 and my plate was cleared of plaques and Hillel's sandwich ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020721 but there's always room for more charoset ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020722 and the nonfish part of the first plate ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020723 while others had the whole thing. ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020724 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020725 Soon, matzah ball soup was served ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020726 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020727 brisket was passed ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020728 and my plate began to take shape ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020729 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020730 but soon enough it was time to serve dessert ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020731 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020732 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020733 and then repatriate the afikomen. ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020734 Before Andrew left, we did a Blues Brothers imitation ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020735 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020736 ../../../Sabbat/2013/03.17-25.13JanesBirthdayPassover//P1020737
