What makes this night different than all other nights?

Because it was my first Seder! As mentioned before, my friend Rachel, who I so affectionately call Shalom, is Jewish and invited me to her family's Seder dinner for Passover. Naturally I was excited to go because I love Rach and I knew that it would be an experience unlike all others. Cut to the day of the big event and I found out that I would have to read from the Haggaddah (the book read for Seder dinner). Needless to say, I had a small panic attack. But when it came down to my turn to read, Rachel helped me with a few names and I did just fine.

About halfway into the story of Passover, one of Rachel's Aunts told me to cover my wine. "Cover my wine?", I asked. Too late. There was already a plastic frog swimming around in there. Next thing I knew, I got knocked on the head with a ping-pong ball and small little plastic "beasts" were being thrown. These represented just 3 of the 10 Plagues. Once the "Leader" threw them at us, the whole gang (all 35 of us) picked up the access "Plagues" and began throwing them at each other. Once Rach got up to help serve the Matzo Ball Soup, David (her "man friend") and I decided to fill her wine glass with the plastic plagues. I forgot to snap a picture of that but it was quite funny.

This is Maddie. She was my dinner date and she's proudly displaying 2 of the Plagues found on her plate after the throwing.

This picture doesn't look too appettizing but I swear it was. The food to the left was a mixture of sweet potatoes, carrotts, wine and beef briscuit. YUMMY! To the right is some roasted veggies.

Then the night capped off with delicious desserts and some more wine. What a great experience! Thank you Denrich Family!
