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.) |
