Kathy,
I had to laugh when I read your comments about having enough food to last about a week. I cook the very same way. Makes a busy workweek easier when it comes to dinner time.
Have a great time at Seder #2. Abbreviated is the best, isn't it? Only those who've attended a complete and unabridged Seder can understand exactly what I am referring to. The Seder can go on and on and on.
Happy cooking to you, Joanna (You little Jewish cooking maven)! Please let us know how everything turned out and most of all - ENJOY!
BTW, I bought my brisket at COSTCO. It was excellent.
You haven't been to one that goes on and on till you've been to one with an orthodox grandfather. I remember my grandfather's seder as lasting for what seemed like 3 hours, and it was all in Hebrew. And heaven forbid if we talked when he was reciting!
Everyone's brisket recipes sound great, and Kathy I'm definitely going to have to try your noodle kugel.
Gil and I got to the supermarket too late on Sunday so we didn't do brisket for second seder. :(
First night seder was fine...I was at my sister's. Our seder was so abbreviated the kids only recited half the questions.
The seder plate? the egg wasn't hard boiled and went back in the refridgerator right after dinner and the lamb shank? LOL. I took some aluminum foil and shaped it into a lamb shank. OY!
Second night was a little tough for me in that it was the first time I wasn't with my kids. But it was nice to be able to spend it with Gil.
