Holiday Haze

When Easter and Passover occupy the same week, as they do this year, things can get a little weird at Casa Sammamish. I made my traditional hot cross buns today. Then I made some haroset, the fruit and nut paste that symbolizes the mortar the Jews used to build pyramids during their bondage in Egypt. The haroset will go to the annual mixed-marriage Seder tonight. We’ll take the buns to an Easter egg-decorating brunch tomorrow.
