Squeezing in at the last minute (I hope). So happy to see all the diverse things everyone has been up to.
Life is still getting in the way here, and the mojo is low, but I did look through my pictures and found a few things I managed to do during this season.

Prompt: June - Retelling
Team: Bits & Bobs
Project Name: Passover dinner
Project Link:
Brief Description:
Passover is all about retelling. And each family has their own traditions related to it and the foods that they are used to serving each year. I did most of the cooking this year, and went with the classics that my family loves.
In the picture is chicken soup with omelette noodles and matzoh balls, which we “retell” on our Passover menu every year.
