April General Conference and Passover Seder

As always, LDS General Conference was excellent.  Scott and I had a fabulous time enjoying great talks and great food (and great naps).

The Saturday morning waffles we made were SO good, we wanted to share them with President Eyring.  Mmmm, waffles!

 
 We also made Giada's lemon, basil, and eggs focaccia loaf.  Drool!

A few days later we celebrated Passover!  No, we haven't converted to Judasim.  Conference wasn't THAT unbearable. Ha ha ha... oh dear.  Dumb joke.  Moving on. 
A BYU professor of Near Eastern Studies and Ancient Scripture hosts a Seder every year around Passover for students, professors, alum, and people in the community.
Last March Scott introduced me to Dr. and Mrs. Ludlow's Passover Seder.  We had such a great time last year that we invited Sunny and her boyfriend Justin to join us this year.  Good times.

We tried to warn Sunny and Justin about the Maror (bitter herbs... in this case: raw, freshly grated horseradish!)   It... tastes... like... BURNING! 

Sadly, we didn't capture any post-Maror pictures, but you can imagine them looking something like this... which probably isn't enticing anyone to join us for the 2010 Passover Seder.  D'oh! 
Anyhow, a big shout-out to Sunny and Justin for sharing the fun (and bitterness) with us.  We will most definitely be going to Dr. Ludlow's 2010 Passover services again, so anyone who wants to join us will be welcome.  Just don't say I didn't warn you about the bitter herbs.
