Days Of Wine And Charoses
A Jewish friend was kind enough to invite us to his Passover Seder. I have attended one before, probably 30 years ago, but I had forgotten almost everything. The ritual was fascinating, the story told was indeed one to be remembered, and the food... well, sad to say, while the food was wonderful at the time, this morning, the food is disagreeing with me. I don't know if it was the unfamiliarity of the spices or the sheer quantity I ate, but I'm not feeling well this morning. Blogging should resume by sometime this afternoon.

ReplyDelete(Ordinarily I do a pretty good job of keeping your California vintners in business. Even the low-priced cab's and merlots are pretty good. Stella is the only one in the family who prefers sweet wine, though I don't believe either of us have asked the kitties if they'd like some...)
