seder

We had a little seder over at our place with the illustrious Claussen kids, Assaf, and little baby Taliana.

The menu was as follows:

• Turkish Eggplant Stew
• Sabbath Rice Pilav with Saffron
• Apple and Date Haroset (compliments of HAT)
• Orange and Olive Salad (compliments of David)
• Sauteed Carrots with Almonds

Everything was really tasty, and the best part was that it didn't take all that long to prepare.

The eggplants took about 50 minutes to bake, but once that was done, the rest of the meal prep was pretty quick.

Heather also had printed and downloaded the Ina Gada Haggadah ("the hottest prose to come down the pike since the burning bush!") for the pre-dinner service. The picture here shows our cozy table set-up with the multiple seder plates (and vegan, aka plastic, "lamb shank" and "egg").
