Not quite at the "completely sick of matzah and related products" stage, but getting close.
I'm so with you. On the plus side, I've never made it this far into Passover without breaking down, so yay. On the down side, so flat. So very, very flat.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Did you hear that baking powder and baking soda can be considered kosher for Passover now (if they're certified by Orthodox kosher-for-Passover certification people)? (The logic apparently being, well, if they'd had baking powder at the time, there would have been time to make biscuits just as easily as matzah.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Where you at Typhoon?
Yes, yes I was. It came down to crickets or ants (they totally need a 4-insect sampler appetiser) and the waiter recommended the crickers.

I did hear that, Jess. And it makes all kinds of sense -- what with quick breads being quick, and all.

Ah. I would have headed upstairs, myself. Oh well.

They were good. In fact, we kept eating them after the main meals came, and I'm pretty sure we got every single one, sifting through the potato strings (which got eaten some), the chunks of raw garlic (which each of us tried just the once), and the peppers which were completely avoided.
I had crispy duck as the main meal, and it was great. Came with a liquid and a pile of spices for dipping. Nummy. And I had sticky rice (with mango) for the first time.

Yum. That sounds good. I need to come down to LA soon.

Apparently the post office was handling email. By pre-ENIAC systems...
Maybe the ENIGMA machine sent it....
