I have done the bare minimum of everything and I'm ready so much in time that I can sit down for twenty minutes. The lack of alcohol has changed the flavour of things, but they still taste good.
It's a very strange Pesach, but Pesach it is - this is better than I did for Purim. In fact, one of the cleaning things I did for Pesach was to give up on the medlar liqueur I had taken out for Purim before I was forced to cancel it (the nice wine I was going to feed friends then didn't need giving up on, cos it was the three bottles the thief took) and I put it away. If you need to drop in in, say, a week or so, there is much medlar liqueur that needs drinking. Now, though, there is no wine for eight days, which is *so* wrong. But if the only wine I could get was a close relative of bad vinegar, then I am a grape juice person for this festival.
I logged on to wish you all a happy weekend, however you spend it. Eat Easter eggs and hot cross buns for me if you're having them, please. I promise to do the dieting afterwards!
Now I go to admire my seder plate and sit down for 20 minutes. Rachel and Mia are my family for this minimalist seder and it will be an early night, for we're all tired.
Have a lovely festive season, or long weekend, or time out from idiots, or, for some of you, all of the above.
