My contribution to the Seder
My dear friend Sheri, knowing that cooking floods me with anxiety, asked me to bring grapes to her Seder. She had all the ritual foods--wine (and grape juice), two kinds of horseradish, two kinds of charoset, matzoh, gefilte fish, matzoh ball soup, and then two kinds of frittata, grilled salmon, and various dishes other guests brought, ending with lemon meringue pie and rocky road brownies made with matzoh meal, butter, melted chocolate, walnuts, chocolate chips, and something that looked suspiciously like marshmallow fluff. The woman who brought the brownies said they are really very nutritional--and kept a straight face when she said it. Well, they do have walnuts. Sheri's husband Lee led the service with reverence, sensitivity, and humor.
