I'm fairly melon indifferent. I don't hate it, but I generally see it as filler in a fruit salad--something that could be replaced by more interesting, tasty fruits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey New Yorkers -- how good do you think the odds are that Whole Foods will have kosher-for-passover candy or something? Is there someplace else not on the LES or in Brooklyn I should go instead? I need a hostess gift, and am trying to figure out how much looking I'll need to do.

Cumin is horrible
Hugs cumin laden bowl of chili closely. Unless it's that craxy Cincy faux-chilli, in which case I fling bowl across the room in disgust.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm sure they will -- I'm guessing most grocery stores have a kosher-for-passover aisle this week.
What about a bottle of kosher wine? Everyone at the seder has to drink 4 glasses, so you know it won't go to waste. (And there's *much* better stuff out there than Manishevitz these days.)

Cumin stinks, but adds extra bite to ground meat (and guacamole) if used sparingly.

I like melons, but don't like tomatoes.
Hugs cumin laden bowl of chilli closelyYou're welcome to it. Cumin's up there with peanuts. Thai food is probably my kryptonite.

I also dislike tomatoes, but not in sauce, just raw ones.
Oh, oh, me too! This is fun.

How can y'all be so picky about food? Good cooks make you forget the ingredients in favor of the dish.

Right on!
The problem with melon in most (deli) fruit salads is it's cheap out-of-season stuff being used as filler -- zero flavor, hard as nails, and weighs the salad down so it costs more. Melon in season is wonderful, but it shouldn't be thrown around willy nilly.

OK, cool, thanks. I won't worry about it and will see what I can find, including at the liquor store. (I'm guessing my neigborhood doesn't have much in the way of kosher, but I could be wrong. I mean, I'd bet my grocery store has a couple boxes of matzoh but not much more.)
