Pesach prep

[cellio]

Kitchen switched over (except what's needed for this Shabbat): check.

Books packed for trip, including tikkun and trope book (so I can work on my upcoming portion): check.

Green card (his; I'm a citizen) successfully renewed (with days to spare!): check. Now we can cross the border with some expectation of being permitted to return.

Bar-mitzvah present for random in-law, because there's no way we're going back up there in a couple weeks: check.

Emergency stash of Diet Coke (now with lime!) to leave in the car until needed (because I suspect my in-laws under-estimate the magnitude of the problem): check.

Floppy containing installer for SSH (hope springs eternal): check.

Emergency stash of Diet Coke (now with lime!) to leave in the car

You're a smart woman...I'm sure you know better than to leave soda in a hot car (not that we're quite to that season yet, but you never know...). I learned the hard way...the can exploded all over the front passanger seat.

Grant it, it was a summer in DC (read: HOT!), but still.

Hoping others, more fortunate than I, can learn from my stupidity. ;-)

I have a kind of irrelevant and basic question, but, I figured you'd know the answer. :)

So, I'm not too clear on exactly what is restricted during passover, but I'm pretty sure non-flat bread is one of the items, which is why matzo is eaten instead. Okay, so, why do I walk into Giant Eagle and see a lot of "Kosher for Passover!" stickers on all these bakery items that are clearly cakey-fluffy-like things? Is baking soda okay, even if bread yeast is not?
