Happy Passover!

Passover has begun.

We had out first Seder last night and had a nice time as a family together except with Abby off at University it was down to the three of us.

Natasha made the haroset differently this year.  She used Georgia Pecans my dad had brought up to us on his way back north, instead of Walnuts.  

Apparently using pecans is a Texas Passover tradition and it is a really tasty switch that is worth trying whether you celebrate Passover or not, and I'm all in favor of it.

After the initial ceremony we had the festive meal with leg of lamb, smashed potatoes and  all the side dishes.

Leah when the meal was finished found the affikoman where I had cunningly hid it, and was rewarded accordingly.

It was a very nice festive meal and ceremony.
