Passover Seder Stats

We had our Passover Seder tonight...
There were 6 adults and 7 children in attendance
4 copies of the Haggadah had to be shared
18 hard boiled eggs
Approximately 16 stinky fish balls (gefelte fish)
20 matzo balls
18 pieces of apple matzo kugel
7 pounds of brisket
9 baked potatoes
1 bottle of white horseradish
1 bottle of red horseradish
1 bottle of wine
3 cups of haroset
1 box of matzo (kosher for Passover)
1 large tossed salad (courtesy of Debora)
5 bottles of salad dressing
1 large bowl of glazed carrots (courtesy of Cindy)

At the end of the night...
66% of the adults in attendance were not Jewish
Everyone, except for Mike, could not pronounce the word "Pesah"
The "service" leading up to the meal lasted 45 minutes
Jacob had eaten 25% of the matzo balls and 22% of the hard boiled eggs
Hannah ate 75% of the bottle of ranch dressing...50% of it by the spoonful
3 bottles of salad dressing remained unopened
2 pounds of brisket remained
Only 3 baked potatoes were eaten
1 large bowl of glazed carrots went home with Cindy, mostly untouched
2 boards of matzo remained
1 tablespoon of white horseradish was left but 90% of the red remained
Only 3 pieces of kugel were left
Only 1 cup of haroset remained
1 hard boiled egg was smashed into the living room rug
5 pieces of broccoli were found among the toys in the family room
The whole bottle of wine was emptied
Mike had the kitchen back in order by 8:10pm
One wine glass shattered on the floor
But the biggest shocker of the night (for me) was that only 8 of the stinky fish balls made their way into the garbage disposal!

I also forgot that while only 44% of adults were Jewish, a whopping 71% of the children were. I found that very interesting!
