Notes for next Passover

magidTo buy: oil (definitely olive, possibly vegetable too), shelf-stable fish, interesting jarred olives, jam if I want jam, fruit juice. Also painter's tape, cups, soup bowls, and foil trays.
Do not need: vinegar unless serious amounts of pickles will be made.
Trader Joe's paper bags worked surprisingly well as piecemeal coverage for the counter tops. Still to think about someday: cut-to-fit solid counter covers.
Check last year's lists for an almost-accurate list of what I put away (no more fish or mandarin oranges, slightly different tomato-based products, one less pint of lemon-lime chutney (which turned out very intense, but a little more salty than I like (which is fine when on chicken thinly enough, at least :-))).
Reminder that making a large batch of soup with bones in it is better before last days, so it can be dealt with and the pot clean by the day after chag ends.
This year was weird: I hosted no meals, which is why I still have about two pounds of matza left (from a five-pound package). However, buying a whole turkey and cutting it up for a variety of dishes worked pretty well, despite the shorter-than-rest-of-year fleishg knife, and having no large platter.
If I actually manage to get the kitchen set up for Passover early next year, consider getting kitniyot for the pre-chag time.
