DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT JEWISH
I decided yesterday I’m gonna host my own passover this year. I think I really like tradition and ceremony. There is something about getting together with people with a greater purpose than to watch a movie or eat.
We have a great group of friends around here and I was thinking about inviting some people over and sharing the tradition with them. Though I’m concerned about it being taken seriously (it is a celebration, but at times a somber one). Then I had a great* idea: I’ll write my own seder.
Obviously it would be based on years of tradition, but having someone remember the bitter tears of slavery who is mostly thinking about a pair of jeans they want, doesn’t really work, but having them remember the bitterness they feel about what enslaves them still today, might be effective. I’m not trying to “make the passover hip”, I just want it to also be relevant to peoples lives. Basically, I want them to go home having experienced something more than matso ball soup and finding the hidden cracker.
What do you guys think? Is it sacrilege? Am I destroying passover? Or is it possible to be relevant and reverent?

The Official Roman Catholic Blessing:
Bless, O Lord, this creature beer, that Thou hast been pleased to bring forth from the sweetness of the grain: that it might be a salutary remedy for the human race: and grant by the invocation of Thy holy name, that, whosoever drinks of it may obtain health of body and a sure safeguard for the soul. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

This makes me never want to eat those mints.
Supposedly this salsa is killer. So much so that a food reviewer tried to get genetics scientists to analyze it’s dna to find out how to make it. They failed, but a super-taster succeeded.
I understand the never-ending quest to create restuarant quality salsa at home. I’ve even thought of moonlighting as a mexican restuarant chef to steal my favorite recipes. My addiction knows no limits. Even now I am thinking about Taco Tuesday and the avocado salsa at Taco Mesa.
I’m gonna try this recipe this weekend and I’ll let you know.
Its 11:30 and I’m hungry. This sounds delicious.
Pan Bagnat
Literally meaning “bathed bread,” this sandwich, which originates from the Provence region of southern France, makes great picnic fare and can be made up the night before to allow the flavors to mingle.
