Happy Passover

multipurposegoddessWe are doing Pesach all wrong. Well, maybe not every single bit entirely wrong, but an awful lot.
The only cleaning of chametz I did was moving the bread box to the kitchen counter from next to the table. We had to run out this afternoon to buy matzoh and parsley and that took going to three different stores because of the great matzoh shortage (that I didn't know about until yesterday. This is what I get for not reading the paper. And, yet, we somehow ended up finding Manischevitz (we prefer Yehuda but could only find NOT FOR PASSOVER boxes). Used a goose bone for the seder plate.
I ordered one of these pre-assembled meals for the seder - just do the last minute heating up, broiling, etc. I assumed since it was advertised as a seder meal that it would be kosher, or at least kosherish, but the vegetables come with parmesan on top and the entree was flank steak, so, no. I'm guessing the artichoke dip and horseradish sauce not pareve, either. And we're already done, ages before sundown. Mostly done, I guess we are actually paused while DH runs out to meet another obligation. We'll have dessert and that little goat song and the last glass of wine after he gets back.
But we did get a couple of really interesting Haggadah randomly earlier in the year. Didn't have time to really delve into the commentary today, but enough of a taste to want to spend more time on it, and we didn't have to skip anything. So, not entirely wrong.
