It's Passover, but not having time to make a seder meal during the week, I shifted it to tonight. Well, technically it wasn't even a seder, since it was just me and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
columbina, but the more formal meal felt more seder-like to me (which was all I really wanted, anyway), and more importantly, included charoset and horseradish. It isn't Passover without a Hillel sandwich.
Four new recipes: the salt-baked chickenorbitalmechanic recommends, which was easy and delicious, though I ignored Cooking Light's suggestion to discard the skin. Yeah, I'm really going to throw away skin that's been baked crispy over shallots, sesame oil, and ginger. Also, three of the side dishes from Gourmet's Passover menu – all of them were delicious, and I especially liked the subtle flavor of the sweet-and-sour celery. The charoset isn't quite as good as the other Sephardic recipe I make, but it's still very good, and I think Gourmet's recommendation of serving it with Manchego cheese is an excellent idea.
And now, The Ten Commandments is on, so I'm off to enjoy the Cast of Thousands. SO LET IT BE WRITTEN; SO LET IT BE DONE.
