RN, trying to read a book about Stalin and Hitler, a comparative book...and i'm only getting more lost. i hate when teachers assign books that have huge words and you have to stop every other word and look it up because it is so confusing!!

RN Oh how I hate Pesach. I am dogsitting for a friend who's an Orthodox Jew and....sheesh. I never keep the holiday, but she does, even though she's not here during the holiday itself. Which means I can't have bread in the house. And anything I cook has to be kosher for Passover...and cooked on the special Passover cookware, which is teh sucks, and then eaten on the special Passover plates. Normally I don't mind dogsitting for her because keeping kosher for a week or two isn't hard, but Passover is another question altogether. I have to eat in the car/eat out just so I can have something palatable.

RN I just went to look at the cleaning rituals that go along with the super-enhanced kosher requirements for Passover. I admire anyone who can keep up with this (I have a hard time just doing Fish Friday during Lent there is NO WAY I would ever be able to pass a kosher cleaning test): Passover Cleaning Made Easy. Right.

RN that describes the environment I'm in now. What's funny is that the kitchen counters are granite and she STILL covered them! And the kosher for Passover cooking utensils. One set for dairy, one for meat. And, yes, she cleaned the oven before she left. Oy. I said, "Can I pretend I'm Sephardic so I can at least eat rice?" (Ashkenazi Jews can't eat rice/corn during Passover because of some ancient Rabbinical decision, but Sephardic Jews don't have the same rules). Alas, no.

RN: I read that and all the stuff about bread and yeast and fermenting....I don't get it. How is it beneficial, not beneficial? How is it tied to religion/Heaven? (I am not being facetious, I really want to know)

RN It's a largely symbolic remembrance of the Israelites' exodus from slavery in Egypt. The story goes that the Israelites didn't have enough time to let bread rise as they were running away, so they had to have unleavened bread (matzo), which today symbolizes that event. At the seder, the youngest male asks the "four questions" which are about the Jewish quest for knowledge/the interrelationship between knowledge and God/the importance of passing on history and knowledge to the youth. It bears basically no relationship to heaven because Judaism is not driven by questions of "afterlife"/heaven etc.

RN I'm chuckling to myself since when I first started reading Tish's post, I thought she was talking about keeping HER PLACE kosher for the DOG. I didn't realize she was at her friend's house watching the dog. I was thinking, "Gee, the dogs have to be kosher, too?" LOL D'Oh!!

RN ~ I find it hilarious that my husband wasn't named in his mother's will but his siblings expect us to pay off some of the $13,000 debts she left!!! All 3 siblings get the message she 'loves them and knows they'll be cared for'... His family's audacity & arrogance never ceases to amaze me... It figures. We struggled with low pay military careers while the younger ones turned to illegal activities so at over 40 they get nothing nuch.

RN I'm really wishing that I would have done my before Easter cleaning around here during the week instead of putting off the majority of it until today!
