Enjoy Pesach!

FINAL COUNTDOWN

Pesach (Passover) is on Sunday (motzei Shabbat), 15 Nisan 5765 (April 24, 2005).

That means that all cleaning must be finished by Bidikat Chametz Thursday night

Seder preparations before Shabbat, including having candles in holders for Saturday night lighting.(Seder preparations may be done after Shabbat, before the seder, but that makes for more balagan)

To keep fridge from getting over-full, plan for the seder or Sunday (chag) food that can be made Wed. or Thursday and then frozen. A tray of frozen cooked chicken, one layer, can be put on the platta or blech after lighting candles Sat. night, and if you do the whole seder, it will be ready to eat on time. If you're making the seder, it may be a good idea to have the kitchen ready early for less stressful cooking time, even before other rooms are "finished.

"PLAN VERY SIMPLE MEALS

Dust isn't chametz, and neither is window dirt. And nobody, including the dog, makes a meal over the yuch in the tile cracks.

ENJOY!!! IT'S A CHAG, SO CELEBRATE, DON'T OBSESS!!!
