String beans (and, maybe, peas. I would have to look it up) are not chametz but kitniyot. Ashkenazim don't eat them on Pesach, but Sefaradim do.

And you can always text, call, or e-mail me if you have a question. It's like being across a virtual hallway.

chickpeas and rice are kitniyot too, right? the peas/string beans question has always stumped me.

so noted! the next time someone asks me a passover question i'll email, and it will probably be a variation on "gnomi, help!"

Chickpeas, rice, peanuts. Most legumes. And now some are starting to look askance at Quinoa. I will not even get into here my frustration with the "we don't understand it so we'll add it to the kitniyot list" group. Cranky gnomi is cranky when it comes to the "chumra (stringency) of the month club" folks.

Awww, I loved Matt Bomer's on Glee, though I hated the songs. I was all about his appalling "lessons" for success. That was some glorious satire and irony, right there. :D

I'm too lazy to look up how chametz would differ from tref, unless it's in temporariness. Pad thai is hard to resist, though. How about the red curry anything? That's my biggest weakness.

I just finished S2 of Justified, so now I have to figure out how to see S3. Oh, the DVD lag-- it hurts me!

his "master class" was SO RIDICULOUS. the ptb seemed to be playing the glee club pretty straight - so to speak - so the utter absurdity of cooper's "lessons" (even if they did get in some nice satire) kind of threw me out of the story. on the other hand, matt's scenes were fun, and the fact that he is excessively pretty never hurts.

chametz is just stuff you can't eat during passover. tref is the stuff you're not supposed to eat at all. aaaaaaand now i want a piece of bacon. *facepalm* curry's ok as far as i know, it's just what you put the curry on.
