Happy Pesach!

Feeling a bit sad about missing out on a real Passover this year. If we had done some better planning, we might have made it to the huge Chabad Seder in Cusco, where some 3000 Israeli youths convene during their post-army trips. (Yes, there are literally thousands of young Israelis in Cusco!). And while that would have been an experience to remember, there's really nothing like Mom's brisket...

Anyway, said brisket not being available, we borrowed a page from the famous painting of the last supper (a Seder, as we know) in the Cusco cathedral showing Christ and the disciples sitting down to a feast of Andean guinea pig, or cuy. Yes, last night we finally decided to try the roast rodent. I'm glad I did, but I can't say I'm in a hurry to do so again. Gamy, oily and bony. I think I'll stick with brisket.
