Passover

We were just the three of us for the first night at the boy's request. Last night we had 4 guests and it was actually a lot of fun. Everyone got along and there were a lot of digressions and silliness.

For the second year in a row, the boy was an enormous help with prep. He made all the bake goods - coconut cookies (these are not macaroons!), almond flour brownies, and Roden's Gateau L'Orange. And his matzo balls were well flavored and perfectly textured. I started working with him a bit on knife skills with some chopping.

My annoyance is that my husband forgot to put back in the fridge the sweet and sour meatballs I made. And I'm still not even sure why he took them out in the first place.

Here is a flourless, no added fat recipe for a fabulous chocolate cookie I've made for decades.   (I use Hershey's natural cocoa.)    Essentially an unfilled macaron.    Suitable for many dietary proscriptions.   Idiot-proof.

Conveniently, I have two egg whites in a bowl.

Speaking of eggs, based on my notes from prior years I made sure to buy 5 doz in advance of the holiday. But I used so many that I sent the boy out to buy an addition 2 dozen.
