Happy Pesach!

I am working a short day today to head up to my uncle's in Peekskill to have Seder with my family (dad's side) as I do almost every year. Today is always one of my favorite days, because I get to eat delicious food (way too much of it) and spend quality time with some family I rarely get to see.

This year will be a little sad because it'll be the first year without my Nona, and I know that when we listen to the old cassette tape of her and my grandfather singing from about 25 years ago, as is our tradition, we are all going to tear up. But I know it will still be an enjoyable Seder and we'll drink and be merry as she would want us to be.

I am definitely looking forward to eating. My aunt Susan makes the BEST matzoh ball soup in the world (I know her secret!), and we always have really great Greek family recipes like lamb and meat pie (cooked with matzoh, of course). I haven't eaten a thing yet today - not to fast, really, but because I've been slacking on breakfast lately - and my stomach is ready. Now if only I knew there would be some surprise guests tonight and could hope to meet a nice single Jewish man... j/k, I don't even care that much if I end up with a Jewish guy. But maybe it would be nice.
