‘Basheret’ brisket.

I ran a Seder once.  Halfway into the first day of prep I was already exhausted.

As a converted Jew, I struggle with the prayers and can barely make a brisket.

I appreciate my friend Darlene’s prowess with butchery… and since I don’t

have my own Jewish traditions, I appreciate being adopted into her family

especially on holidays like Passover.  I consider myself lucky to have found such

a wonderful surrogate family.
