The story begins with Sarah Stegner of Prairie Grass. They do a special “dinner for Two” that Jane and I were going to enjoy for the second night ( Seder). I felt that since we have enjoyed every Catholic holiday with Frank and his family, perhaps, this meal would be even more special if Jane and I allowed him to take the meal. I did keep the flourless chocolate cake for us. YUMYUM!
The meal consisted of : Matzah Ball soup ( of course), Matzah, Apple Kugel, a mixed green salad ( with apples and pumpkin seeds), slow braised all natural BBQ brisket, cauliflower mash and roasted carrot. An extra was the chopped liver ( perfect on matzah).
While the dinner was created for two, Frank did the Italian thing of having more people drop by and take a taste of Judaism. I think they all enjoyed the meal. The service itself was not typical, so below you will find more information about the telling of the story. Jane and I thank Sarah for this magnificent meal and I am glad that we were able to share one of our traditional holy days with Frank and his family.
