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?

I am QUEEN of the Cannibals!

Hee!

Oooh! Homer is changing his name to Max Power right now on my TV.

"The name....you want to touch / but you mustn't touch...."

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.

If you look at the Haggadah (the book that has the whole seder in it -- "seder" means "order," so what the Haggadah has is the specific order for doing things at the seder), one of the things is "Festive Meal," (in Hebrew, "Shulchan Orech,"), about halfway or 2/3 of the way through. Eat then. Generally, in Ashkenazic families, that'll be matzoh ball soup and/or gefilte fish follwed by some kind of meat dish with several potato-y sides, but there's nothing holding anyone to that.

"The name....you want to touch / but you mustn't touch...."

"I'm Max Power."

"Ooh, nice name."

"Thanks, I got it off a hair dryer."

(Oh, and the Haggadah used by most families I know is the one made by Maxwell House, which has everything in both Hebrew and English and is about $3, or free if you buy enough coffee, I think.)

Allyson, that is the intent.

I have no control over the actual serving of the meal. I suspect that there will be a good bit of "what this means to us as Christians"-ing. I only have influence over food.
