It is Passover and I am hiding online

[rachelmanija]

I forgot to eat anything today and just drank a glass of wine. I am suddenly noticing that I seem to be making more than the usual amount of typos (but I am correcting them as I go, I hope.)

I just peeled and chopped and put in the roasting pan vegetables (carrots, red fingerling potatoes, garlic, onions, parsnips, turnips, purple potatoes, sweet potatoes) for sixteen people. I am at a friend's house for Passover. There are sixteen people, three dogs, and three rabid bats cockatiels parakeets of DOOM. Actually the dogs are of DOOM, they kept interfering in the kitchen. Anyway, I had a fit of not-dealing-with-human-beings-ness and am "checking my e-mail."

Dinner id served in fifteen minutes if we are on time. I hope the begetables are ready, but I am concerned.

It's not so much that the seder requires you drink four glasses of wine so much as that you drink two of them on an empty stomach.

Fortunately, last night, we worked off the tipsy with geography card games, before our last guest drove 50 miles home.

I drank the first one while I was roasting the vegetables. Which were a smash hit, by the way, even with the kids. The adults especially enjoyed the whole garlic cloves.

I am still there, having another unsociable moment. One of the kids has a Box O' Plagues, with a sickly cow, a rubber boil ("Put one on and imagine them covering your entire body"), sunglasses for darkness, a teeny packet of cotton balls for hail, and a frog the size of Texas.

Box o' Plagues is Way Cool.

"... frogs on his head and frogs on his toes!" he warbled.

LOVE THE BOX O PLAGUES!

I have a DK Passover sticker book - there are these very photographic stickers for "River of Blood", "Darkness", "Lamb Shank", etc. Hilarious. Pharaoh is a 9 year old blonde.

Pharaoh is a 9 year old blonde.

The 9 year old part would explain a lot, actually, given Pharaoh's complete inability to stick with any decision he makes ...

I may need my own plague box! :-)
