Greetings from Fitchburg

Quick post after late Seder with Adam, Haley, and Sagar, who'd never been to one before (Haley and Solveig have Jewish first cousins, so she knew what to expect). First we went to the New England Botanic Garden in Tower Hill, which now has hundreds of daffodils as well as crocuses, dwarf irises, snowdrops, and heather in bloom -- it was chillier than we expected but we walked to the lake and enjoyed the greenhouse. 

Then we drove to Adam's house with veggie beef tips, charoset, flourless cake, and various Passover accoutrements to go with the carrot and sweet potato casserole that Adam and Haley had made, and we had a quick Seder. The 30-Minute Seder puts the whole service including Elijah before the meal and skips some important backstory, I was not impressed with the book, but the food and company were lovely and even Pepper got egg.
