I don't have any great Passover sagas to report this year. The seder was successful: this year I did not make too much food, and most of what I made turned out well.
Getting ready for Passover
Next week I'm going to present my annual Passover seder. For those of you don't bother to read my old posts (most of you, I assume... in fact, I'm not sure if anyone reads these posts), here are my earlier ruminations on the subject of Passover:A Witch Does Passover (Part 1)A Witch Does Passover (Part 2)A Witch…
