Happy Passover

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Hope you’re all enjoying this Spring and the fabulous holidays it brings. My wife and I hosted our family’s Passover Seders for the first time, and with much success! Visit Sara’s blog for a photo of her grandmother’s Seder plate (it did a wonderful job).

And now that the rituals are over … time for the chocolate Seder-plate-shaped dessert version! hahaha thank G-d for Manischewitz!

Pause from the normal routines and call your parents. Skype with your friends from 1,000 miles away. Get in-touch with your inner Romantic.
