Seder. Turkish Seder.
Just as the Jews made it out of Pharaoh's grasp, we made Passover dinner for 8 on a single hot plate. It wasn't quite as difficult as overcoming slavery and leaving Egypt with haste but... it had its challenges.
Matzoh ball soup (balls from scratch mind you) with chicken, potatoes, carrots, dill, onions, and other usual spices... Rotation of pots required. But it was still served hot. Passover magic.
Lamb. Lamb in Turkey is delicious. Marinated in rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper, and kosher red wine. Then pan-cooked.
The table. Good food deserves a good environment.
Plastic cups and utensils at their holiest.
And of course, leftovers to be enjoyed. That meant a small container of lamb, potatoes, squash, mustard and olives on a sunny lawn near hungry cats earlier today, and then a charoset inspired snack -- matzoh spread with horseradish with sliced apples. mmmmm. That is part one of a delicious sandwich if you ask me...

Prince of Egypt is my favorite movie.
