Last night we went to "the tasting" -- we already booked the hall for the bat mitzvah and now we are back at the hall, attending some family's bar mitzvah and tasting their food, so we can decide which food we want to serve at our event.
It is a little weird to attend a complete stranger's simcha, sitting in the back with other parents who are also planning an event, eating hummus, moroccan cigars, chicken, roast beef, mushroom salad, and lox. Most of the time you are eating and not paying attention to the people, but there is down time, and you watch the parents greet the guests, the kids say their speeches, the DJ play the family movie. And you can't help but wonder how you or your wife or your daughter will fill those roles in another 7 weeks.
