My husband's cousin and his family. He runs into the house and demands food. He refuses to participate in the seder (ceremony) interrupts, makes unappropriate jokes, speaks on a cell and etc. We tried not inviting him, one year, and yelled and screamed and attached that we want to disown him. Our only consolation that he may cancel, which he does on regular basis. But at the moment I'm in a panick of antisipating his arrival. In addition I heard his daughter (5) has a mouth of a sailor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-92068900454814872492008-03-24T11:41:00.000-04:002008-03-24T11:41:00.000-04:00Abbi,Yes, for women this is reading the subtext. ...Abbi,<BR/>Yes, for women this is reading the subtext. Men, however, believe that we must be reading tea leaves or using some other strange means of establishing what is true or not.<BR/><BR/>Concernedjewgirl,<BR/>How many eggs? The formula is something like 2x(1/3y+/-3n)-3/5q+Tsquared, divided by 7/26 the coefficient of 13x(p+n squared)equals the number of eggs needed. Do you eat gebrokts or non gebrokts? Are you baking yourself or buying ready made? Will you be having company for the sedorim? Will you be having company for other meals? Do you make your own lokshen? Are you using jumbo, large, medium or small eggs? Are you also using egg substitute? No hard and fast rule that works for everyone. I use twelve dozen large eggs and about 6 dozen equivalent in egg substitute.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-79049958038593081152008-03-24T08:44:00.000-04:002008-03-24T08:44:00.000-04:00This is my(our)MY first year making Pesach.
