So, who is hosting the seder this year?

[Tumah]

BTW, I'm curious as to whether there's any more Jewish "heretics" besides myself. Did any of you eat Pesach leftovers? I just finished the last of it (charoset) for lunch today. I know we're supposed to finish it the night of the celebration, but we can't bring ourselves to throw food away.

What are you talking about?

after I drive my kid to the mall, I will be trying to finish the leftover chicken from the 2nd seder. Plus the stuffed mushrooms. Plus some asparagus. And whatever else is in an aluminum pan in the fridge.

My work is never done...​

And you didn't invite me over because...

Next year, I better get an invite.

Hey, I held the door open. Next year, step through it.

That the meal is supposed to be completely consumed by the end of the seder.

It...is?
Uh oh. Am I in trouble?

 

[Tarheeler]

I have teenage boys.
What are "leftovers"?

That's probably only one of the many things you're in trouble for.

Been there, done that, flat broke.

How do you know??? Is my wife on RF?

Jews don't have the "leftovers" custom because of the Law of "and in their statutes do not go (Lev. 18:3)". That's why your mother was always telling you to "finish up your plate neshumele." "In the lagger we didn't have leftovers." "You better finish those vegetables." etc.

Your reputation has spread widely, but I try to stick up for ya.

actually, this year, we found a cauliflower and a butternut squash that were great (premade). Neither had cottonseed oil or anything hydrogenated, both were gluten free. The butternut squash kugel has no oil at all in it. And both tasty.

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

I had some kugel this year that was horrible -- somewhat on the level of kosher l'pesach cheerios.

 

[Eliab ben Benjamin]

Seder was somewhat dour at my mothers house, having just attended Dad's funeral
the day before ...
and sadly she has sent me home with perhaps 2 months of leftover delicacies to
fatten me up ...... Mothers !

That the meal is supposed to be completely consumed by the end of the seder.

That's ridiculous. Having leftovers enables me to comply with non-leaven consumption for the rest of the holiday. I think its a given that our Jewish women cook for twice as many people as actually show up.

Ya, and it's hardly a meal eaten in haste as it appears in Exodus.

Who can eat in haste when we have to dip twice?

Who can eat in haste when we have to dip twice?

But isn't it true that you can do it so fast that you were given the nickname of "Dipsh*t"?
