So I had my first Passover Seder at my current apartment last night (or I'm pretty sure it was the first one here; at the very least it was my first one at the new-ish table).  I had five friends, including two Seder "virgins" and my mom over, and all in all, I'd have to say it was a great success.  I am getting better and better about prepping food the day before; now all I need is some additional counter space.  I think I may get this folding prep stand for dinner parties.  The menu and recipes are below:

Vegetarian chopped liver (made from mushrooms, onions and walnuts; much better than it sounds!

Russ & Daughters gefilte fish (thanks, Mom!)

Matzo ball soup

Zuni cafe roasted chicken (which came out so tender — highly recommended)

Cook's Illustrated slow cooker brisket (deeeelicious, even when I halved the recipe but forgot to halve the meat amount)

Potato kugel (slightly adjusted amounts)

Mark Bittman's broiled asparagus

Flourless chocolate cake, macaroons, chocolate mousse, and berries

And my guests not only helped with the dishes, but they took home leftovers, which made me very happy!  Thanks to all for a wonderful evening.
