  • I already have salt, cinnamon, and black pepper for Pesach.
  • A new flexible cutting board would be in order. Other items to consider include: a big soup pot, an apple corer (if I want to make baked apples), and (if I'm making charoset) something to shred apples with (minced apples are not ideal for charoset).
  • Walnuts can be bitter; if I'm making charoset, consider using half walnuts, half pecans.
  • I kashered the microwave this year and never used it.
  • A 5-pack of machine matza is *plenty*.
  • One kind of jam would be enough.
  • Mayo can be useful, though certainly not necessary.
  • There are plastic plates, bowls, and silverware packed away. Any silverware not in the original bags must be considered fleishig. If I want to get some sturdy disposable stuff for milchigs next year, don't use blue, green, or purple.
  • Potato starch and matza meal seem to be superfluous to my cooking (or at least, this year I used neither, and I've always had matza meal left over before, while this is the first year buying potato starch at all).
  • A pareve spatula would be a good thing; get either white or dark green.
  • If hosting a seder again, get small plain clear glass bowls for the seder plate. Also, consider a matza cover.
  • People eat less than my capacity to cook for them; there will be plenty of food; don't panic.
  • Some haggadot are laid out better for beginners; think about that before starting the seder.
  • I don't care for parsley, so there's no reason to use it for karpas (as long as I don't forget about karpas entirely :-).
  • Eggplant spreads are a good thing, while whitefish salad is a bit dry on matza.
  • Butter and cream cheese are not necessary.
  • OTOH, good olive oil is.
  • It's nice to have a cabinet for Pesach, but I tend to forget about whatever food I put away there.
  • It is worth finding hand cream and lip balm that are kosher l'Pesach.
  • It is also worth getting water bottles for Pesach; I think I was chronically under-hydrated this week.
  • The Elite brand bittersweet chocolate is far better than the other brand.
