Passover Dinner Menu

[sarahmichelef]

In the midst of our drinking 4 - 3.3 oz cups of wine each, we had a really great dinner. The menu:

Matzo Ball Soup with fluffy matzo balls.*
Steamed Broccoli.
Brined roast chicken with marjoram, rosemary, and thyme, basted with butter and honey.
Eggplant salad (eggplant, tomatoes, fresh basil, salt, pepper, olive oil)*
Potato Kugel*
Charoset (toasted almonds with LOTS of butter, macintosh apples, passover merlot, and honey)
Passover nut torte (eggs, sugar, toasted walnuts, blackberry and apricot preseves).

*Recipe from Traditional Jewish Coooking by Betty S. Goldberg.

Also (how to tell this is a SCAdian seder), we use The Illuminated Hagaddah (a 13th century Spanish manuscript) and this year we added finger puppets for the four (drink) questions.

Ooh. I'm not going to a seder this year (and, um, and just about to make a sandwich, with regular bread, for lunch...), but I may have to make charoset anyway. I can't get enough of that stuff. fat? apples? alcochol? nuts (I prefer walnuts)? what a perfect combo!
