Our first family Easter Meal

Last week a friend invited me to his Seder. I must admit, I felt a little ritual envy. There's something, I think, very sensible about a ritual that begins with a glass of wine. That's because I had forgotten how Catholics cook. The first bottle of wine should be empty before the meal enters the oven. I am experimenting, by the way, with Jerusalem Artichoke stuffing. Odd that Jerusalme artichokes are neither artichokes nor are they from Jerusalem. They are a Native American food related to the walnut.
