parshanut torah comment - What's up with this pasuk in mishpatim?



The Chumash in Shemot 23:14 begins describing the three regalim: Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkot, in that order. In Pasuk 17, the Chumash begins again with Pesach and Shavuot. Instead of listing sukkot again in that second list, the Pasuk mentions the prohibition of mixing meat and dairy (cooking a kid in its mother's milk.)


What happened to sukkot? What's the connection between meat and dairy and the regalim?
