Not Your Grandmother's Passover Seder

March 26th at 6 PM

Back by popular demand!

A creative take on Passover food.

Join us and try something different this year for your Seder!

You'll have willing tasters as you explore new culinary ideas in time for Passover.

Hanna will lead this delicious Passover extravaganza.

June is back as our judge.

Last year the winner was Stacey‘s matzoh nachos: ‘Matzchos’

Owen’s lemongrass matzah ball chicken soup was a close runner up

Everyone will Bring a Passover dish to share (4-6 servings for sampling).

It can be:

• new and gourmet

• traditional from ‘the old country (that might mean Brooklyn… or Minsk) but you want to add a new twist in a 'safe food space that isn't your Seder

• Or make something you always wanted to experiment with and here you have some willing tasters.

We’ll have some alternative ‘Kosher for Passover’ drinks to sample

Bring your dish, and a copy of your recipe, and be prepared to discuss your inspiration.

All recipes need to be 'K for P' style.

The event is from 6:00-7.00.

For questions about this program please contact Hanna at 904-999-8515 or hannamoore66@gmail.com

So,

random thoughts…

I truly dislike felt hangers. To have to spend time adjusting the blouses so that they fit evenly on both sides…is such a waste of my valuable time. After all, I could be putting myself to better use aligning all the throw pillows in the den, living room, Florida room, and bedrooms. Now that is accomplishing something! And I do not like the windshield wipers that I replaced 6 months ago. To leave a smudge or a streak is unacceptable but whilst driving, not a good idea to obsess about this. More important to remember where I’m going rather than malfunctioning wipers. 6th row, the right side is my place to wind down, clearing my brain of these minor annoyances, and greeting old friends, new friends, and friends I have yet to meet.
