1. I'm having General Cho's Chicken for dinner with rice.
And to further celebrate the end of Passover, I will be having Apple Turnovers with Ice Cream for dessert.

2. your meal doesn't sound kosher...
weird thing...kosher during passover with the matzah, but not any other time.

Same here...aren't we crazy?

5. Passover ends at sundown tonight...
I'm eating anything I want after that.
And the best thing is that all that leftover Matzah will be fine for next year, because REALLY... How can you tell if matzah has gone stale?

4. Pizza...
even though I eat it rarely...I've been craving a slice of mushroom. Matzoh pizza just doesn't cut it. Oh, and no more Matzoh-Bri.....

3. Sick of Matzah?
That implies that there's ever a time when I'm not sick of matzah.

6. Very happy - it means I can pick up some bargain matzos,
some apple butter (or maybe lemon curd now that I live in california) for after-work munching. And I'm not sick of the matzos because I'm quaker, not jewish.

9. Save it.
You can also build ersatz-cardboard boxes out of the stuff. Very useful when you don't have time to run down to Mailboxes, etc.

On edit: I've followed Sephardic rules this year -- is this where your dates and mine differ?

19. I'm not Jewish, and even I'm happy!
(Passover being over means that my Israeli internet friend is back from visiting en famille in Tel Aviv, so he's back online again! W00t!)

I don't like challah -- pass the pita instead! :)
