Passover starts tonight, which means a long "to do" list in this Catholic-Jewish household ...
- Remove bread and bread products
- Clean toaster and dump in garage
- Fry fish (cold fried fish is a common British Jewish seder food)
- Boil eggs (ditto hard-boiled eggs in salt water)
- Make charoseth (gooey apple-cinnamon-wine-walnut mix to represent the mortar used by the Israelites as slaves in Egypt)
- Make coconut pyramids and cinnamon balls
- Prepare seder plate with lamb bone (we don't have one!), horseradish (nowhere locally had any fresh horseradish root, so we will have to make do with a jar of creamed horseradish), parsley, bowl of salt water, charoseth
- Find Haggadahs (order of service for seder meal)
- Set out jug of water, bowl and towel for hand washing
- Set table
- Find afikomen presents for girls (too complicated to explain here)

Roast the eggs? LOL!
Bubbie objected to the bagels sitting out on the counter. I could have at least hidden the chametz away during Passover!!! LOL!
We always use a chicken for the shankbone.
Hope you had a blessed seder! Happy Pesach!
oops, meant chicken BONE instead of shankbone. We don't put a whole chicken on the seder plate!
What a wonderful description - thank you for sharing your lovely holiday with us!
Have you seen the knitted Seder?
