I know that you will take this in the affectionate spirit in which I mean
it:
I hate you a lot right now.  Soggy brisket, dry chicken.
I'd e-mail your menu to my mom but it wouldn't help.  SIGH.

It works perfectly well for Passover, Hanukkah and most of the others
'cept maybe Arbor Day, does it not?

My dad told a Passover foodie joke last night:

A rabbi went to a local park to eat his lunch during
Passover.  On the park bench he met a blind man and
held out some matzo to share.  The blind man ran his
fingers over the bumpy rectanglar object and
exclaimed, "who wrote this crap?"
