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.

Thanks!

Rye. Duh. My favorite variety of bread and I space on it!

Matzah meal replacing flour. Sigh; I even knew that, but we all know that the real problem with the brain is not storage but indexing.

I do wonder just how they can get those big tall fluffy cakes with just eggs and no baking {soda, powder}. I suspect steroids. :-) I basically eat the cakes at the seders because it's expected, but I don't seek them out. And I usually go for fruit instead if it's an option.

Kitniyot, by the way, is the reason that this is the time of year to get the good Coke (if you're into the non-diet variety). Real sugar; no corn syrup. Mmm.
