Pesach
The cleaning fairy came today, and tonight I kashered everything that needs it and finished switching things over. We had a miscommunication -- she apparently assumed that I wouldn't be using the microwave -- so I had to scrub that out before kashering, but that's no big deal. I am so glad that we can afford to foist off some of the cleaning on someone else. There are certain cleaning tasks I really hate, including the oven. (One of these days we'll replace that sucker with one that does self-clean.) It's also nice to have a cleaning fairy who groks kashrut; she's a gentile, but she's been working in this neighborhood for a couple decades and she knows what to pay attention to.
(I should perhaps clarify that the name of her business is, in fact, The Cleaning Fairy.)
We were instructed to make charoset for the seders, so I had to make that tonight after the switch-over. Usually we make it there, but Pesach usually doesn't fall on a Saturday night and I don't want to try to get there with enough time to do it before Shabbat. Dani knew this was the plan, but apparently thought he was supposed to help. I made it while he was playing an online computer game, and then later he went downstairs for a while and then came back up and said "we had a failure to communicate; I just peeled the rest of the apples". Oops. Good thing the rest of the walnuts were harder for him to find. :-) (He was wondering why I'd only gotten a few apples when we would clearly need more...)
I'll be offline until Monday night. Depending on how talkative everyone is, I might or might not be able to catch up when I return. So, the usual comment -- if it's something I should see, send me a pointer.
Chag sameach!
