With all due respect to Salty D. and his family -- or shall I say, despite the fact that I highly regard and love them -- I have to do this riff on the Passover Haggadah:
Had Sandy only made matzoh ball soup,
Dayenu (it would have been sufficient)
Had she served just a small amount of the traditional "fatty potatoes",
Dayenu
Had she only served matzoh stuffing, and not also vegetable kugel,
Dayenu
Had I not broken the holy Passover matzoh by mistake (blame the shiksa),
Dayenu
Had we not eaten the entire bowl of secret family recipe cole slaw,
Dayenu
Had we drunk just two bottles of wine, and not 4 plus 1 bottle of port...
Dayenu!
I know now why it is called the "bread of affliction."
Probably didn't help that just before the first seder, Salty D. and I attended the local annual chili tasting competition.
PORT IS OUR FRIEND

I want kugel. And a Klondike bar. And some chicken wings. And a fish taco from El Pelon (which I will get later today.) You wrote about gas - hee hee.

Krissy, yo, you don't want kugel right now. Kugel will turn your ankles into squishy chankles.
You want to do kegels, not kugels.

Future Parents Conversation waiting for DR today:
Me: "I don't think I want El Pelon today, I had it twice last week"
Kristin (sitting in position waiting for Doc): "Okay"
20 minutes later heading for lunch
Me: "What do you want for lunch?
Kristin: "El Pelon"
Needless to say, woman with child won and she got her fish tacos!

Only because I blogged about fish tacos at 6:21am. I, I just had to have them. Next Tuesday we will go where you want to go since it will be your birthday.
