Happy Festival of Freedom! I hope you all had enjoyable sederim. My Passover looked like this: Seder I- I made 13# of brisket; others made the rest of the meal (unfortunately, boxed Manischewitz potato kugel

), and my sister-in law brought some excellent French-style macaroons and baked goods from a Chicago suburb (I think it was Sunset Foods in Highland Park, for those of you in Chicagoland). Seder II (this evening)- Catered, and rather good. Actually, quite good. We're trying to get this fellow and his crew back for next year. We had a buffet of desserts brought by congregation members, and there was a flourless chocolate cake from Chocolatier to die for!! Thank God, none of the dreaded sponge cakes.... I made some mock oatmeal cookies (farfel, matzo meal, butter, eggs, sugar, cinnamon) which, thanks to my new Silpat, did not burn for once.
