No. And orthodox Judaism makes even less sense. Case in point, *they* accosted my girlfriend and gave her a box of "Shmurah Matzah", on which was printed this explanation:
"For the Seder one should try to have Shmuroh Matzo's [sic]. If it is difficult to obtain all three Shmuroh Matzo's, an effort should be made that at least the first 'kazayis' eaten should be Shmuroh. To fulfill the mitzvah of eating ('kazayis') Matzoh, one should try to eat an entire piece of Matzoh equivalent in size to 4x5 inches in no more than 4 minutes. If more than 6 minutes pass from the beginning till the finish, the mitzvah of eating 'kazayis' Matzoh has not been fulfilled..."
???

potato kugel = awesomenoodle kugel = grosscharoset = fine, but i'd never eat it if i didn't have tohorseradish = blecchhard-boiled egg in salt water = i love hard-boiled eggs! the salt makes 'em that much tastier.manischewitz wine = my guilty pleasure. i always feel embarrassed telling wine geeks that i like the stuff. it's like the jewish night train.matzoh = fine. egg matzoh is very good. chocolate-covered matzoh is manna from heaven. nothing especially dud about matzoh; it's the same thing as those posh swedish flatbread crackers.latkes = OH BABY. with apple sauce please, and hold the sour cream.

Dinner itself was great but I quickly got a sense of how informal it would be in relative terms in that not only was every line of the reading interrupted by a snarky comment from everyone else in the family other than the dad, who seemed somehow world-weary and pleased at the same time (I can still hear his half-sighed "Baruch Adonai"), but Steve's younger brother attended wearing a Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt. In itself perhaps merely quizzical to some eyes, but the fact that it portrayed a naked illustration of Madonna raised my eyebrows a touch.

every few years i try a little just to make sure i don't like it, and i don't like it! sweet noodles = one of those bridges i don't think i'll ever get across.

passover is the one religious holiday i think is pretty neat, all told

sweet noodle kugel is fucking awesome. i dont know what you all are on. it's creamy and eggy and sweet, and sometimes has cherries in it.
my potato kugel turned out KICK ASS, btw, and it's great with sour cream. I turned the heat down to about 300 for the last hour, as it looked like the top was getting a bit too brown (wasnt). whatever it was, it's soft and potatoey and tasty.

I personally prefer the sweet kugel, which is the equivalent of growing up in the Bronx, spitting in Biggie's face and tattooing "THUG LIFE" on my chest.
I fucked up already -- at the Rhythm and Sound show yesterday, the bathroom attendant had a jar of candies and I took a Werther's Original on my way out. About ten minutes later, I realized what I'd done. Jeeeeez.

My mom bought me a bunch of matzah bagels (the GOOD kind that taste not unlike actual bread). Fittingly, I forgot to bring them home with me. I also meant to take one of her boxes of matzah for making fried matzah one night, but I forgot that too (and I can't find any near where I live). Fortunately, I did bring home some chicken, gefilte fish, and a few sweets.
So essentially, this will be a no carbs week for me (potatoes excepted). Which is perhaps a good thing, because I've been overdoing it on the carbs over the last few months. Except this means I CAN'T GET FULL.

also, i used the sephardic custom (im half israeli, so its ok too, hah) of rice/beans/corn being ok. except basically it just meant that i had like, soda and stuff with corn syrup in it. i never got around to having rice or beans. actually, it worked out really well. i made my matzo lasagne, that went over well, lots of fried matza, and tons of fruit. easiest year yet. still, saturday night i went out to get the now customary pizza.

I did Sephardic Passover one year when I felt like going out for nachos one night.
