Like Jews do (and have done for millenia), with the same food, and same ceremony, with some Christian text added in.<br /><br />That was the only time I ever ate lamb. It's one of the traditional food items, after all. Not sure how fond I am of lamb, but I could eat it once a year. But there were some that could not stand even that, so they complained about it. The lamb was taken out. One by one, people complained about the rest of the traditional items (bitter herb, almond, salt water, eggs, etc) until they were all gone. In the end it was just a regular old beef stew. Nothing special or traditional about it, no connection to the traditional Sedar meal with Christ had at the tiem of the Last Supper. Spoilsports, I thought. I mean, I don't like almonds at all, but I would eat them no complaint as part of the ceremony.<br /><br />Once they had the food the complainers wanted, everyone stopped going. There wasn't anything special about it anymore.<br /><br />There. That is my lamb rant.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-3441271837586501132009-06-27T16:42:26.060-04:002009-06-27T16:42:26.060-04:00There are so many stresses with the economy the wa...There are so many stresses with the economy the way it is right now! I would not have been able to sleep after the email!<br /><br />The Greek food sounds great. I like Greek food a lot, especially lamb. I am glad that it didn't upset your stomach and you enjoyed it. The price... ouch! I guess they are trying to find a way through the financial crunch too. <br /><br />I overslept by five hours. I have not done that in years, but I was exhausted. Now I am dragging because oversleeping makes me tired too. But it is better than under sleeping. I hope you can take a nap.Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-12361318080957780372009-06-27T16:38:35.793-04:002009-06-27T16:38:35.793-04:00The way unemployment works in Mich, any week with ...The way unemployment works in Mich, any week with any wages earned in it is not eligible.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
