Yahoo!! (not the search engine, the exclamation)
I had Pesach (Passover in Hebrew) dinner with my family last night - we realized that it was the first time ever that it was only the four of us for Passover dinner, no guests.
It was nice. We broke with tradition a bit and had a huge salmon steak (sorry, Setekh) instead of lamb's meat.
Uhm, over the 8 days of Passover I'm going to try and invent more ways to make matzah not only edible, but downright tasty as well!
From years past, I know that peanut butter and jelly matzah is good, as is matzah pizza and matzah toast (butter & honey).
Aside from the food aspect, let's see... work, methinks. Getting another computer set up as an net connection sharing server for the home LAN instead of my own, so I can have some leeway to reboot every once in a while.

the Passover celebration was first celebrated during the last days of the captivity of the Isrealites by the Egyptians. the Pharoh at that time refused to let Isreal leave because they were his inslaved workforce, but one night the angel of death came and killed the first born of every houshold that didn't have the mark of lambs blood around it's door post. if it did, the angel would pass over the house, ensuring it's safety. the Isrealites ate the body of the lamb they had slaughtered for the blood to put on the door post, and bread they had made in a hurry without yeast. they knew that they didn't have time to bake bread with yeast because as soon as the Pharoh found his son dead he would kick them out of Egypt.
Hey, pretty good, Carl!
