Repost to projects? Kosher?
I posted my blog to the project section about a year ago. But I posted it just as I was getting started. Now, I have a backlog of posts, and think it would probably be far more interesting.
Is it legitimate to repost my project?

Usually, I'm ok with a repost if it's been some time (like at least a year) and/or there has been a major redesign. Go ahead and submit it, I'll look at the original submission and decide to approve or not.

We usually say that one repost [if there's something new, lots of new content, a major redesign or something] is okay. More than once, no.

I was wondering about this too. The album/project I posted to projects in 2008 is now being made into a play by a Vancouver theater company. When we finally get the website for it done, I was thinking about posting it in projects, but really, really didn't want to come off the wrong way.

Netzapper: "Kosher?"
Passover ended last night. Everything's Kosher, now. Lobster bacon cheeseburger, here I come!

Conveniently, any remaining matzah or matzah products (matzah couscous WTF were they thinking?) can be repurposed as a sheet rock substitute.

Food Derail: If you're ever in San Fransisco, pony up the cash to have a Lobster Club Sandwich for Brunch at the Hotel Monaco. Lobster, bacon, home-made lemon mayo. It is worth it.

Never seen matzah couscous before, but matzah pasta is pretty bad.
Passover breakfast cereals are so horrible that the only people who buy them are people who didn't buy them last year and don't know (or forget) how terrible they are.
On the other hand, humble Matzo Meal, cooked with some water over low heat, makes a very respectable warm breakfast cereal, some say tastier than Cream of Wheat. I've even done matzah farfel, cold, with milk and sugar. Gross as this may sound, it is still better than "Sunny O's".
Interesting side note: the reason that the cereal tastes particularly bad is because it's made with potato starch instead of matzo flour. Certain Jews refuse to eat anything cooked or prepared with flour -- even matzo meal -- during Passover. So unlike many who eat cakes, pancakes, and other prepared foods made from matzot, matzo meal, etc. they eat only matzot (usually Shmura matzot) on their own and then everything else they eat is prepared without grains of any kind. However, potatoes are not a grain, and hence potato starch is fair game as an ingredient. Manischewitz decided to tap into this market by offering a flour-free cereal. If you were wondering if potato starch can, in any way, simulate the texture of breakfast cereal, the answer is: No. No it cannot.

On the other hand, egg noodles made with potato flour work just fine in a kugel - the texture is different, but they taste great. (Passover + gluten-intolerant is not a great combination otherwise.)

Seriously? I tried that last year and thought it was vile.
On the other hand, this year---because my grocery store had about 5 passover items total---I learned that you can successfully make matzo meal by whirling up matzo in a food processor.

Try this with your leftover matzoh.
fake, speaking as just one MeFite, I'd consider a theatrical production of a previous (not originally theatrical) project a really good subject for a new project post. (But a newly available audio recording of someone reading a story already posted to projects wouldn't be. I'm not sure where I'd consider the line to be.)

Mmmmm... here's what you do with leftover matzo.
OK, that's brilliant. I can do that. :D

Matzo brie, dude. By the time you've soaked it in milk, mixed it with eggs, and fried it in an obscene amount of butter, it's downright palatable.

Brei, rather. Matzo brie would be weird.

Does anyone else get those awful fruit slice jellies? Something in that potato syrup really throws a good jelly off. My family has always bought them, though in recent years the tides have turned, where most people at the Seder comment on how awful they are. But every year they keep turning up. Truly they are the jellies of our affliction.

There is such a thing as too much matzah brei. And lo, I have reached my limit. :P

You mean the slices from the Boston Fruit Slice & Confectionary Company? Those things are awesome. There used to be places you could get like factory seconds in the Boston area, anyone know if there is a way to still do that?
