I bought a big huge dove chocolate bar to eat during Passover when I was doing the shopping for the Seder.

Now I can't find it.

I am a very unhappy camper.

My hat off to you for that feat! Handchopping that many apples and others is amazing. Must have taken you an entire DAY!

*applauds*

I start doing stuff for the seder two days before and pretty much don't stop till the haggadahs are opened. But, it all tastes great so it's worth it!

I've never done that much work for a dinner, but I know the feeling. It's always worth it.

It's not really that bad. A lot is just prep work and then being home while the stuff cooks. And I'd rather do Passover than Hanukkah. frying 80 trillion latkes, even if you have a food processor to shred them, is MUCH more work

the frying takes AGES. though I don't mind grating potatoes. I've been doing it since I was in kindergarden, when I made them with mom to take into class.

Always end up slicing my fingers up, but it's now part of the tradition.

My Chubby Bubbie used to say that latkes weren't latkes unless there was a little blood in them.

It's so true. It makes them taste that much better.

A friend of mine makes them with packaged frozen hashbrowns *shudders* that's just WRONG

*boggles* totally WRONG.

Start from scratch, bleed a little, cry a little (or a lot, if you're sensitive to onions), sweat a little (while slaving over a hot stove). They're better that way. Blood, sweat and tears.

Or, show up with dessert when they're 15 minutes from being done and eat the fruits of someone else's labor...

I don't usually do that, but BOY is it tempting sometimes.

So very tempting...

I do Thanksgiving and Passover and my Mom does Break-the-Fast and Hanukkah. Every year I think I'll just show up with the dessert when she's all done with the latkes and let her do all the work.... Have yet to do that though
