If you're part of The Tribe but your Tribe sucks at cooking, why not consider a Passover seder at popular Indian spot Tabla? Because…Indian isn't Jewish..? Sure it might be a little hard to grasp, but we're New Yorkers, we've grasped a lot worse.
On Tuesday, March 30th, Tabla will be hosting it's 5th annual "Unleavened Bread Bar", an Indian-inspired Passover seder led by Tabla regular Burt Fendelman. "How did this come about?", one might wonder. Turns out Fendelman's wife, Helaine, suggested the idea of an "unleavened bread bar" to Chef Floyd Cardoz back in 2006 and he ran with it. The result? Coriander-spiced matzoh ball soup, goan-spiced brisket and roasted beet salad with chilies. I am definitely a traditionalist with Passover food, but I can't say I'm not curious. The menu (see below) sounds quite tasty.

I even got the recipe for chef Floyd Cardoz's Matzoh Ball soup, and I wanted to try it out, but it's pretty involved and since my kitchen is the size of a large walk-in closet, I don't know if I can handle it without suffering third-degree burns. Anyone else up for giving it a try??
See – I wasn't kidding!! There is a simpler recipe that sounds delicious too – and it can be used as a side dish for other meals, not just Passover. Win-win!

I propose not to wait until you earn big sum of money to order different goods! You should just get the loans or just short term loan and feel free
I just got off the phone for something unrelated and we were talking about the self-service revolution in the workplace, How can a customer care rep comments on a restructure or capital raising?
The falafel, the hummus, the whole weird wonderful waffleizer idea. Love this, yes I do.
