I am post Seder cooking and cleaning spent. I made eggplant salad (pot le gel), matzo ball chicken soup, brisket with potatoes and carrots, chopped apples with honey and cinnamon (for the Seder plate), Passover cake, baked sweet potatoes.

There are things I do like instead of just putting a lamb shank on the seder plate, I made a lamb shoulder and for the first time I made these, because the brisket was small- an appetizer of lamb patties that came out delicious.

We’ve been using Zoom and a few of my family members joined us while we did the fastest Seder ever. It was cute to have the family, who are normally never here in person. Also, my son’s gf came over after they were in their own houses for the past two weeks and missed each other a lot. My other son came here from where he is in school two weeks ago.

Feeling very blessed for the love and the abundance of food, we will keep eating all week.

I make matzo Brie, too. We will not be losing weight this week.
