The book she's working from only talks about the symbolic foods (which do not a dinner make), so that's the extent of the official dinner plan, unless I can find a credible enough source to cite (pretty much anyone not -me) for other "traditional" stuff.
Are you talking about the Passover Seder? Please tell her we did not survive the following forty years in the desert on a roasted egg and some parsley.
Usually, dinner is a roast of some sort with the usually fixings, though you wouldn't include any dairy if keeping kosher.
The symbolic foods like the lamb bone and the egg are part of the prayer "Why is this night different from all other nights?"
Answer: Because the Angel of Death passed over our houses and laid a cap in the pharoah's people's first borns asses because payback is a BITCH. (I will mail her 50 bucks if she says this).
It's just the prayer, like saying grace, before you chow down on dinner.
Pizza, because it is on actual leavened bread, is JUST SO WRONG.
Hush. Both of you.
LOVE your tagline, BTW. I saw that episode the other night -- with the flood, and power-hungry Bill.
LOVE your tagline, BTW.
I have so much King of the Hill love. Yours kills me too. I was just reading your LJ posts about that book.
It's a prayer with visual aids, I mean.
She shouldn't have any leavened bread if it's about Passover. Tell her our peeps had no time to let the bread rise, so no pizza, no rolls, nothing but matzo.
Have her make some matzo ball soup, that's good, substantial, yummylicious, and traditional.
I think it would be better to email Nilly, as I'm sure a bonafide email from Israel would convince your mom better than a lame lapsed jew like me.
Koz, can you pop your butt on IM?
I"m watching the last NYPD Blue. Winnie Cooper should not have a sister who's a hooker. I don't care if it
is
pretend.
Allyson, I don't think she thinks so. She's just a bit clueless on the matter.
I don't think she's leading the meal. If I were, I'd totally do that.
Beyond Pizza, at least one of the pizzas would probably have meat on it. Possibly pig-flesh of some sort. That was really the moment when I got onboard with "I must
fix
this."
I was just reading your LJ posts about that book.
I am QUEEN of the Cannibals!
"I must fix this."
That's kind of you. Is it a Passover seder?
Oooh! Homer is changing his name to Max Power right now on my TV.
