For those holding a Seder, share you menus here

[Lulav]

First say if your Seder is 1st night or 2nd night. Then share your menu with us and give a short explanation of why you choose to serve what you did. :blush: I'm still finalizing mine but will post as soon as I know!

Selfishly bumping. :cool:

As long as I'm bumping...would someone else care to "bump" by telling me why TWO seders? :scratch: Or precisely, specifically WHEN two seders? Is it ok to have just one? What specific night would that dinner fall on?

Lulav answered my question in another thread.

... the first night to celebrate Passover is the end of the 14th which would be right after the end of Shabbat for you. That is when the first Seder is held. The second one is the following day, which is the first day of Unleavened bread and is a Shabbat also.

I'm being lazy this year and doing no cooking- going elsewhere
for seders.

No wonder you two are so relaxed! I sure wish someone would invite me, but with my celiac no one wants to take that on, and I don't want to end up sick the whole holiday either!

I'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon and return home late Monday night.

Yes, thank you, It came out a bit wrinkly but once I got everything on there, you don't notice. It is all set. I will be taking some pictures and maybe posting them soon. Now I just have to work on my haggadah and finalize the menu and shopping list for tonight.

I hope you have a Chag Sameach! Monday I shall be sleeping in very late! :D

This is the first of the final version ;) I cook as I'm lead so things change, but for now this is how it stands.

First I want to say I have Celiac and so I lean towards my Sephardi heritage. :) I have also tried to incorporate the six things our ancestors pined for after leaving Egypt, to get an authentic feel for that night. I will highlight them below so you can see where I've used them.

Before we start, for noshing and mingling some Crudite' of fresh carrots and green beans in a dip made with sour cream, green onions, red onions and garlic. And some cheese cubes

FIRST COURSE

Potato Leek Soup
Salmon Pate with fresh dill on unleavened crackers
Cream and goat Cheese with fig spread on same crackers


SECOND COURSE

Pan fried Talapia with Lemon Dill Butter ( this is an Egyptian as well as Israeli fish)
Quinoa Tabulleh with tomatoes, parsley, green onions mint and lemon and a touch of hyssop

THIRD COURSE

Braised Lamb with olives and garlic, and rosemary
Minted Peas
Roasted Rosemary Potatoes
Corn Cassarole
Cucumber, Red Onion, parsley and feta salad
Roasted breast of Turkey with Orange-Cherry sauce
Melon Duo compote with fresh mint (Cantaloupe and Honeydew)

DESSERT

Apricot sponge cake With fresh raspberries
Or
Chocolate Swiss Roll with Vanilla ice Cream


And there you have it! Anyone want to come help me make it all?

Is there some way you could take your own food?
I have a man who comes for shabbas dinner on occaision
and has to bring his own bread; he has trouble with
regular challah.

I'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon and return home late Monday night.

You meal sounds absolutely delicious. I hope you enjoy it after all the hard work you've put in!

[Lulav]

Thanks, but that is doubtful as I will be serving and also leading the Seder. Not much time to eat, let alone taste the food, but I'm used to that . I'm sure there will be some leftovers so I'll get to try it on Monday.
