Passover Seder, 24 Apr 2005

I attended my first Passover Seder this year, put on by Vered and Stuart at their house. It was significantly more fun than I expected, and the food was incredibly tasty... And, of course, we got to see Darren explode. A good time.

Damien
It's oddly better and better to see him lately.
Passover Candles
At least it's a neat candelabra.
Kamali
She was being awfully calm today.
Vered and Table
Waiting for Others
Beth, Pat, Vered and I had to sit around and wait for the armies to arrive.
SpongeBob
Pat gets a lot of joy out of SpongeBob, apparently.
Hannah
Hannah and Darren were the next to arrive; and I don't have enough shots of Hannah yet...
Hannah, No Glasses
For instance, I didn't even know that she could exist without glasses!
Angela and Grace Arrive
That's the last of the necessary attendees.
More Hannah Shots
"Stop it, please!"
Hannah Accepts
She's part of the family now; there will be pictures.
Place Setting
And so it betins. We actually had nametags!
Wine glasses
It's not just the perspective that makes the one I'm holding (left) smaller than Beth's (right).
Shank Bone
Part of any good seder is the props, apparently.
Egg
No actual hard-boiled egg could be created, so one was made of ceramic.
First Wine Drinking
Celebration! Note the scripts.
Breaking the Bread
One of these two will be hidden! Behold!
Remaining Bread
Only 2.5 breads left. What shall we do?
Tim at Seder
Darren grabbed the camera for a bit, I guess.
Beth at Seder
I always love Beth's glare.
Beth and Tim
Beth's still glaring, I'm bemused.
Back to the Script
Smiling Beth is fun too.
Around the Table
We really are having a good time. The smiles a re a good tip-off.
Breaking Bread
Coming up: horseradish!
The Big Piece
Darren wanted the most matzah, and for that he would pay...
Darren Explosion, I
...for you see, this is horseradish.
Darren Explosion, II
And horseradish hurts.
Darren Explosion, III
This was a pretty strong batch, too...
Darren Explosion, IV
Darren's especially good at showing the hurt, too.
Damien Explosion
Well, not as much of an explosion.
Darren Explosion II, I
He's eating another piece!
Darren Explosion II, II
Well, I admire his perseverence.
Darren Explosion II, III
If not his good sense.
Pat Explosion
We all looked like this for a bit...
Sweating Darren
Or crying. I couldn't tell which. At least it's over...
Darren Explosion III, I
No, wait, he's doing it again!
Darren Explosion III, II
This time I get close-ups!
Darren Explosion III, III
(Yeah, I know that it's cruel to mock your roommate like this.)
Darren Explosion III, IV
...and he calms down the one last time.
Vered's Amusement
Vered's face really sums up the amusement we all got. (That and the number of pictures I took.)
Soup
Chicken-and-matzah, as I recall. It was tasty.
Stuart and Develed Eggs
Mmm, eggs...
Passover Candle
This one is apparently meant to burn fast; certainly it did so...
Beth's Prize
As the youngest one there, she got to find the "hidden" piece of matzah and win a prize! Whee!
Stuart
A nice shot of him drinking heavily. But a nice shot nonetheless.
Vered
Also drinking heavily. Really, it's part of the point.
Vered and Damien
Now they're both drinking!
Elijah Nametag
Does this mean they're the same person?
Angela as Elijah
Guess not; he's just sitting on her head.
Preparing for Elijah
The mysterious stranger arrives!
Letting in Elijah
Part of the deal is that you let him in and feed him...
Elijah Enters
...even if he's a bit invisible.
Elijah's Glass
Lucky Elijah! He gets maneshewitz too!
Drunk Tim
Well, the closest anyone's likely to come any time soon. Liked the maneshewitz...
Relaxing on the Couch
Vered, Damien, and Tim all relax. (BTW, Beth had grabbed the camera again.)
Grace
Just a bit too excited.
Darren and Hannah
Relaxing happily.
Angela
Laughing more than is normal...
Stuart
No, Stuart, please don't steal my camera.
Vered and Damien
Damien's hair is really nice in this shot.
Pat
This goes beyond "relaxing", I think...
Darren and Hannah Depart
...and we weren't far behind. Still, it's a nice picture of the two of 'em... (I think I'd taken the camera back by this point.)
