Oh no! Now I'm having a panic attack over the Mother's sticks! And I was at our largest Kosher Market yesterday getting other things that are hard to find...I never thought that the magarine would be in short supply...gotta run!

jym626 - posts #96 & #99 talk about the Mothers stick margerine shortage. I didn't realize this thread had gotten so long!

jym626 and others: Our synagogue's men's club sells imported Israeli Kosher wine for Pesach...My H is the expert; he bought Galillee Chardonnay 2006 and two Yogev 2006 blends: Cabernet & Merlot and Cabernet & Shiraz...That being said, both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal had Kosher for Passover wine reviews recently (you can search online for both).....Also, I can't believe that one of the large suburban Atlanta liquor chains didn't stock KP wines....Surprising.....
Thank you all for the recipes....Unfortunately, I have to cook gluten-free for Passover so recipes with "matzoh anything" are out...Not sure what the rules are for people who have dietary restrictions, but we let my daughter eat her regular food on Pesach...she can't really afford not to.....We are thrilled though that sooo many baked goods that are KP are also gluten-free!!!

Rodney--
I haven't hit the liquor store yet. One of the supermarkets near our house had a large kosher section (there is a chabad nearby) so I just checked it. THey had wines, just not great ones (Carmel and that kind of stuff).
Wow-- how do you cook passover non-matzoh recopes!! Yikes! Glad you are able to find choices for your daughter.

jym: I actually found gluten-free KP wide noodles...I am making a noodle kugel ; my mom is making Tzimmes, and a green veggie! and the chicken is naturally gluten-free.......I also have recipe for Quinoa which she is allowed to eat....Honestly, breakfast is the hardest meal to keep observant for her.......but Passover has been difficult since she was diagnosed 3 years ago...and she used to LOVE matzoh.....there actually is GF matzoh, but it's not the same (and it costs, are you ready? $20/box....)!!

My daughter just paid 35 Eur for a large pack of matzoh in Spain. I am thinking she had to buy the 5 pound packs as that is all the store had. I suggested she ask the other Jewish students to buy a few boxes from her to share the cost. I don't think anyone likes matzoh enough to pay $60, but my daughter said she had no other choice.

So a follow up to my frozen gefilte fish loaf experiment. I just made it and it's really pretty good. Definitely better than the jarred stuff and reasonably priced.

The frozen gefilte fish loaf sounds like it's worth trying. Also, I just found the Mother's unsalted stick margarine - the supermarket must have just received a shipment, because it wasn't there last time I checked.

I have to make charoset for 54 tonight. I'm cryin' saltwater (actually am happy about it). No other cooking, just "bring a ton of charoset." I think of it as a main food group, so plan to make plenty.
Perhaps my inlaws don't trust me to make real food dishes? Ah well, it's okay. They think I can't mess up chopping apples and nuts, but they are SO WRONG. I'll show them!!

I just ordered red snapper for my homemade gefilte fish. We'll see if it actually gets here--the fish, I mean. Jews dues is pretty funny. I grew up Lutheran and we had dues too, but it doesn't rhyme.

bethievt, I grew up Lutheran, too...Keeping Kosher & eating matzah took some getting used to, but I wouldn't trade the joys of being a Jewish mother for anything!!!
My 2nd Seder dinner just grew to 30...good thing I don't know how to cook small. I always end up making way more than I need to. Something I learned from my Jewish Iranian mother-in-law.
Forgot to say, that we had no Mother's stick magarines and there were at least 10 others there lamenting and having panic attacks over it!!!

however you do yours, i hope it goes well for you
