Posted: 3/21/06 at 7:55pmThe little cardboard shelf unit at your local grocery store appears in the back corner by the eggs and butter that says HANNUKKAH CENTER across the top, even though it's Passover. (It's jewish enough, so it makes no difference to them??)

Posted: 3/21/06 at 8:01pmI always know that Passover is approaching when they put those dainty little paper doilies under the shelves of the kosher foods at Waldbaum's. I must admit it looks pretty.

Posted: 3/21/06 at 8:20pmThere is a reason for the doilies, DollyPop. The Passover items should not come in contact with anything that isn't Kosher for Passover. Of course I can't see how a piece of frilly paper would do that. Many obervant people line there cupboard shelves with paper for the holiday as well.

Posted: 3/21/06 at 8:24pmMy kosher friends at work put paper towels on the table before they eat lunch. Although I am not Jewish, I've been doing the same thing because the Mecca of Education is overrun by mice and we've been finding fecal matter all over the place. Better safe than sorry!

Posted: 3/21/06 at 9:11pmMy college bookstore is stocking a book called The Latke-Hamentaschen Debate. I was obscurely fascinated by it. Good thing I have no money.

We have like 10 boxes of matzah left over from last year, and my mom just went and bought another 6.
Oy vey, break out the Immodium!
Well, at least there's a sale on gefilte fish...I had some with horseradish for dinner tonight. Yummy.

Posted: 3/21/06 at 9:17pmOh, god. Not Matzah. I'm pretending it doesn't exist until I absolutely have to ingest it. Urgh.
#20re: You Know Passover Is Coming Because,,,,,,,,,,
Posted: 3/21/06 at 9:34pmI hate matzah. I also hate Haggadah reading. I usually talk to my cousisn and drank wine.

Posted: 3/21/06 at 9:37pmYes, every year I get to be freshly ashamed that I have to read the English translation because I'm way too slow on the Hebrew. Meanwhile, the American-born kids who went to Hebrew school do fine. Well, except for their totally atrocious accents.

Anne Baxter comes on TV playing the campiest Egyptian princess ever. "MOSES MOSES MOSES!!"
Sarah Siddons indeed.

Posted: 3/21/06 at 11:13pmEver get a feeling that the Jews who took the "Next Year in Jerusalem" part seriously are laughing at us for having to endure double the seders as them?

Posted: 3/21/06 at 11:16pmPop, I can only handle one Seder. Two, and my whole brain explodes! As well as my digestive system!
