Wasting time, instead of packing, this morning before I head back to the land of my fathers, I found a website that made me laugh.
Given, it's two months late. But there's always next year.
Ten points to whomever finds and points out the humor in the site first.
They dont have the traditonal matzo "dish" with the Charoset. They also spell Matzo weird

Peanuts are not kosher l'pesach - unless however, you use Kosher for Passover Peanut Oil, which in the recipe it does not specify. It says "creamy peanut butter".

Zach, you win. Ten points to you.

Ah, but the problem with that is that peanuts are only kitniyot, and therefore allowed by sephardim and others. I once had a rabbi tell me that he allowed kitniyot for his congregants because he had many converts in his shul. He felt why make it harder for them? They had no tradition of being ashkenaz, so soybeans, peanuts and the like were all ok!

First, David and I are going to be working together this summer. So i figured I'd pipe in. Yes, peanuts aren't kosher for Pesach for Ashkenazim, but like rice fine for Sephardim so like David's new "friends" who he was teaching about their "heritage" it all depends on you're perspective. Just like deciding which tattoo is right even though well, if you're reading this you know! Anyways I do also have to agree you guys look into this stuff way too much!

"Brett," what is the "meaning" behind your abundant use of "quotes?"
See you in a few days!

I'm going with the Chicken Marsala recipe that calls for butter. Peanuts have the benefit of only being kitinyot, but butter and chicken - no matter what the occasion - is never kosher, therefore making it no better for Pesach than it is the rest of the year.
