I've lived with D since April, 2000, and last night was the first time we didn't have a Seder dinner for Pesach. She was raised in a kosher (Conservative) household, so I'm sure she's feeling a little guilty, but we simply didn't have time to make (or eat for that matter) a multi-course dinner and Seder plate by sundown. We had a 7 o'clock cocktail instead (Pellegrino mixed with either scotch - her, or vodka - me)
I actually like the whole ritual of the seder, but it remains pretty alien to me. Can't get enough of good charoset, and any ritual dinner that includes drinking copious amounts of wine is a-ok with me. Maybe tonight we'll be able to squeeze dinner in.
