Beyond that...I'm used to Passover. I've probably complained about it here before. My obeservances have ranged from non-existant to very, very strict. I don't know where this year will find me. It's nice to live in a place where they know to paper the shelves before putting out Passover products, and where I don't have to go to nine different stores to find what I'm looking for for Passover food.
It will be interesting this year, how to work things out with Cayne. My parents have generally had different levels of observance, but at least there's been some. I don't know what choices Cayne will make (and I'm not sure what I feel like doing this year.) Cayne's birthday happens to fall during Passover this year, and I've offered to prepare whatever treat he requests, (probably his Mom's Peanut Butter Pie) but will probably not partake. Or, he can elect to wait til after Passover, and I'll share with him. Since I do most of the cooking, the food will follow whatever level of observance I choose, but what he does out of the house is up to him. We'll see how things work and adjust accordingly, I'm sure.
For those of you into Coke with real sugar, not corn syrup, this is the time of year to stock up.
I'm just glad to have Cayne home.

Date: 2005-04-18 01:19 am (UTC)I'm not as obsessive as I could be; I could get all the Chametz out of my house, I could re-do my kitchen and shelves and so on, but I don't. I do, if I'm at my parents house do Biur Chametz, which is the ritual burning of Chametz-you use a feather and a wooden spoon and ritually clean Chametz-we used a piece of bread broken into three or four smaller pieces around the house, and sweep it onto the spoon and then burn it.
