Pesach notes

[magid]

• The kitchen list is the same as last year, with the addition of a pareve spatula (white with teal on the handle) and a fleishig ladle (white with bright pink on the handle).
  
• Also put away for next year: a travel toothbrush.
  
• Consider getting serving bowls that can be put on the warming tray.
  
• I need to get soup bowls and a new bottle of dish soap. There are plenty of plates, however.
  
• Consider getting whole wheat and/or organic matza next year.
  
• All I had for sweeteners this year was some "confection sugar" (sic) and honey. It would've been nice to have brown sugar for the spiced walnuts, but I can get away with only one sugar.
  
• The Cabot sharp cheddar cheese (from the cheese order, not available in stores) was most excellent, worth getting more of.
  
• Whole almonds don't end up being as useful as slivered ones, or as useful as walnuts.
  
• I didn't use any butter this week, but it's worth getting next year, so I can try the yummy flourless chocolate cake Tapuz made. (It also helps to buy bittersweet chocolate instead of accidentally getting all milk chocolate! Pay attention.)
  
• Consumables put away for next year:
  
  • two 28-ounce cans of crushed tomatoes
    
  • a 26-ounce jar of tomato sauce
    
  • a 26-ounce jar of vodka tomato sauce
    
  • a pop-top can of fried eggplant in tomato sauce
    
  • a pop-top can of pickled cucumbers
    
  • a pop-top can of black olives
    
  • a large can of salmon
