Passover Eats and Covers
So I am a bad Catholic--I don't even ascribe to the population that quietly crowds into churches twice a year in exchange for scarfing down a ham/turkey later on at Grandma's house--but I think I would be very good at being Jewish, as I like their philosophies--and their food. Passover, the holiday that celebrates the escape of the Jewish from enslavement in Egypt, is today. Matzoh (unleavened bread that kicks major ass), gefilte fish (similar to a meatloaf--but of fish), and Charoses (a spread of apples, spices and wine) are a few of the dishes that highlight the holiday.
Cover Lay Down has a nice rundown of Passover-inspired tunes to keep you going today (and for tomorrow's Bedikat Chametz observance).
