Only Four Days Left!
During my seder, I was honored to host a doctor who had been back from Iraq for just a few days. He was homesick for his wife and children. He talked of the Pesach customs handed down by his family. He would hide the afikomen and then give his children hints as to where it was.
I talked about my earliest Jewish memory, which was when my grandfather made matza brie. When I would visit him in Chicago, he would make it for me and then we would play yatzhee or work on a puzzle.
I love matzo! You can make matzo toffee, matzo brie, or matzo pizza!
Cook something to read along with this week's Haveil Havalim 212: How Many Days til We Can Eat Bread.
Maybe next year I'll be one of those Ashkenazim Rebels and add corn to the brie or pizza.
Update: I just had to add Pesach Doritos and other yummies.

Thank You Winn-Dixie
Since last week, Winn-Dixie has been having a sell on Passover items. The items range from potato starch to matzo. They have been making an effort over the past few years to offer more kosher items. Keeping kosher in Mississippi can be difficult but doable.
I wanted to thank Winn-Dixie for having the sell and for expanding the number of kosher items available. One store did make a mistake in its display. It only had not kosher for Passover matzo meal. I did contact the store manager to let him know.

Too Much!
My living room is beginning to look very lovely. About 2 weeks ago, inspired by the great paint job my son did with the bathroom, I decided the living room needed to be painted as well. My son, his girlfriend, and I started painting it 5 days ago. Because of space limitations, only wall can be painted at a time. Now, it's time for the trim.
All this while having the damage from Hurricane Katrina repaired is leaving me stressed. Yesterday, I realized it is only 2 weeks to Passover! I haven't even begun to clean the house for hametz!!!
Jeremy's girlfriend has been an almost perfect house guest. She is very nice and I'm glad to have gotten to know her better. She leaves this Sunday.
I've been having to deal with other things as well. It is nice to be busy but I think there's just been too much to deal with lately.
My son said he and Sarah will finish the trim on two walls today! So perhaps, I can move my furniture back in place and rehang all the pictures.
Jeremy has been doing a lot around the house. He is stepping up. His girlfriend has been helping as well. I keep asking her if she minds. She says she has been enjoying the painting and helping me pick out material. She isn't able to decorate her home because she and her family live in an apartment and likes the opportunity to paint and decorate.
I'll be sad when she leaves on Sunday. My son will miss her even more.

Updates
I'm over at my Mom's. I forgot the Saints were playing today. As of now, she isn't too happy with them. The Panthers are ahead by 20 points.
It does give me a chance to post a few thoughts. I found out about the justifiable action Israel began in Gaza yesterday. No nation should be expected to allow it's people to be bombarded on a daily basis by Qassam rockets. From what I've read, Israel has destroyed a terrorist training camp and killed over 200 terrorists.
Jack has a good round-up.
I missed last weeks Haveil Havalim. 198 is up.
Miriam has some great news about Chabad House of Mumbai re-opeing.
