4.12.06 -- Passover
Late Morning
Blueberry yogurt -- Associated has stopped carrying my preferred brand, so I had to switch. I can't remember what this one is called, but it was pretty good (fruit on the bottom).
Snack pack
Early Afternoon
Remainder of Dubs and Cailin's turkey sandwich -- Not a huge turked sandwich fan, but this was very tasty
Remainder of Dubs and Cailin's chocolate chip cookie -- I ate other people's leftovers for lunch today.
Seder
Many different kinds of red wine
Haroset -- Grandma made this for me to have at the Seder
Matzo, haroset, horseradish sandwich -- I guess it is maybe an acquired taste, but I love horseradish
Cucumber-dill salad
Chicken soup with matzo ball -- I used shmaltz (rendered chicken fat) for the balls, I am a big fan of this method
Arugula, cherry tomato, avocado salad with balsamic-shallot dressing
Brisket
Turkey
Gravy
Sweet potatoes made by Caitlin
Matzo stuffing a la Dubs
Asparagus with shallots, almond slices, lemon
A jelly candy
The turkey was slightly dry, but pretty decent as turkeys go, and the gravy made up for it. I think the brisket was the biggest success. It was almost a week of work, but I managed to cook for 19 people, and frankly I am proud of it. Dubs' stuffing and Caitlin's sweet potatoes were both great.

The other food was good, but the brisket did stand out. Not to ride Pod's dickandnutsack, but it was nice and soft. I think I might prefer brisket to corned beef by a good margin, am I a race traitor?
