I wish you and janni a delicious Pesach, and good luck with the cleaning! Cleaning continues here, and soon, very soon, we will get to the fun part of holiday prep including attempting flourless orange cake (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Perfect-Flourless-Orange-Cake/Detail.aspx).

That looks very similar to something one of our regular Seder guests brings, only I'm pretty sure matzoh cake meal is involved in hers. May it, and the rest of Pesach, be delicious!

A good Pesach to you, too! (Cleaning done ahead of schedule, so we get to move on to the fun stuff, too!)
