funny. but no, my holiday cooking did not include baking. i slathered a rock cornish hen with maple syrup and stuffed it with matza and onions, stuck it in a slow cooker with sweet potato and carrot slices, and make charoseth (apples, walnuts, a touch of wine, and in my case a touch of hazelnut syrup). the nice thing about a seder is that although we get 10 plagues, no nails are involved.

One pedantic detail. Nails through the palm of the hand won't hold the victim up. The flesh of the palm will tear away and the victim would no longer be hanging on the cross. The nails were inserted through the wrist, making sure they missed the main artery. Only on the feet were they driven through the tarsal bones.
Feeling squeamish?
