I so wish I could come, despite you being a home wrecker of my imaginary life.

I am pretty boggled that there are kosher for passover frozen meals in the world. I mean, i can see how there would be, intellectually, but I can't imagine actually seeing one in the wild. Not in these parts. The tiny selection af nearest grocery store has gotten even tinier this year.

Dang, Downtown Specific Plan meeting tonight. I should really go to that. Would much rather sit on my couch and make my DVR feel loved and appreciated.

One of the grocery stores near me has a couple. I think just stuffed cabbage and one other thing. They've also got a few Tabachnik frozen soups that are Kosher for Passover -- I noticed the cabbage soup and tomato soup, since they were vegan, and I think there was also chicken soup.

The brand on the frozen kosher for Passover dinners is Mon Cuisine.

I couldn't even find boxes of cake mix this year. Pretty bad. Probably if I crossed a bridge or two there would be more on offer.

I've got a Wegman's near me, and they seem to order the same selection of Passover stuff for all their stores, whether there's a big Jewish community in the area or not. They don't have a huge selection of brands, but they seem to sell a pretty good selection of the things made by the few brands they do use. They even had a few of the Kitni products this year. (Manischevitz, a few years ago, finally acknowledged that not everybody follows Ashkenazic rules, and started selling a few things like peanut butter and canned beans with a "Suitable for those who consume Kitniyot during Passover," under the Kitni label. I'm actually fine with a regular jar of peanut butter with no Passover label, but I buy the Kitni stuff just to show that there is a market for it.)

My legs are requesting a divorce. I was fine when I got up, reasonably sore, but not bad. And then I sat at my desk for 90 minutes. When I stood up, I had to grab onto the wall and stand there, swaying until I was somewhat sure I could walk. And even then, it was a shuffling stagger. Whoa. Once I was moving for a bit, got more limber, but everytime I sat, pure reversal (but sitting isn't painful.) Swimming felt like I was dragging cement bags behind me (and was significantly slower.)

Kinda blown away, because I didn't wake up this broken.

This year, Wegman's also had stack of packets of coupons for Passover stuff, which was nice. It's actually somewhat ridiculous -- we get everything that's listed here with a price (rather than "available in select stores) [link] in a town where there's just one synagogue within fifty miles in any direction, and that synagogue usually just barely has a minyan for Shabbat.

(And that list is definitely not complete. I notice several things I bought -- Osem soup mix, some packets of chestnuts, chocolate covered matzo with rainbow sprinkles on top, peanut butter, and mini matzos -- that aren't on the list.)

Thank you for the birthday wishes! There was breakfast out with Sara, a massage, a tattoo, and a lovely dinner, and there is cake! Plus flowers! Feeling very blessed, and like I really don't want it to be tomorrow anytime soon.

Tattoo? More details please.

That sounds very nice, and I am willing to let it keep being today for longer than usual for you.
