Passover

We hosted a little Passover seder at our apartment Friday night. My friend Gilda and I organized it and we had 2 other families whom we did not really know but who we heard wanted to join in on our seder, as well as a friend of Gilda's daughter who is studying here in Ghana. So it was a seder full of new people and full of children! With Eli, we had 5 children which was more kids than our tiny apartment was really meant for plus the 9 adults. We felt a little tight to say the least and it didn't help that the 7 and 10 year old boys were bouncing off the walls!



We managed to get a little seder in thanks to Allan, Gilda's husband, but most of the evening was devoted to tons and tons of food. This was my first time hosting a seder so it was fun to plan the menu which featured these roasted chickens that we roasted on top of half filled Guinness beer cans. Afterwards we realized beer is not kosher for Passover but that certainly didn't stop us from devouring them!





This is Clare, age 3, doing circles around Eli who remained pretty oblivious to her and was much more entertained by the TV which the 7 and 10 year olds insisted remain on and at a loud volume throughout the evening.
