[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 587701, member: 15907"] Oh that got a giggle out of me! We weren't Sephardic (Mediterranian Jews) but I have read that on Passover, at Sephardic seders, they whap each other with green onions while singing "Dayenu." ("Dayenu" is a very stereotypically Jewish song, a series of more and more extravagant acts by the God of Abraham, as He sets out to help Moses rescue the Jews from Egypt, and with each line the refrain in a cheery tune is "Day, Dayenu..." meaning "Ah, that would have been enough for us." It's a child's favorite, partly because it's so much fun to sing, and partly because it means it's almost time to eat!) We're not Christians in this household; I love holidays though, and the little kids got their post-breakfast Chocolate Bunny, then in the evening when RN got off shift, the kids went through the house (it was after dark by then) looking for their dried-fruit and coin-filled plastic eggs. Lunch was Hot Dog Bunnies sitting in shredded-bacon grass, with devilled eggs (of course!) Dinner was a new recipe I found for chicken, and it was easy to eat, easy-ish to clean up, and delicious; with salad made with sprouts the Blacksmith keeps growing in the kitchen. (Hot Dog Bunnies: Take standard skinless franks, cut them in half lengthwise going only a third of the way down, then rotate the dogs and cut the other end the same way - but perpendicular to the first cut. One end you cut the, well, cut half itself in half lengthwise, leaving the other half intact. The double-cut end becomes the legs and the tail, the single-cut end becomes the ears. You then make a shallow slice under the "ears", think of a smiling bunny when you place that cut. Then you just put the cut dogs in an oven or toaster oven, give 'em about 10 or 15 minutes, enough for the cuts to separate and you'll see the bunny shape form! Fold the "tail" back, if you're lucky you can get the bunny to prop itself upright, or you may have to nestle it in bacon or shredded lettuce "grass" to do so. Dab mustard on for the eyes and nose, and there's your bunny. The kids thought it was hilarious. If I'd had Hebrew National around I'd have used those just to peg the Irony Meter. :) ) [/QUOTE]
