Miss Manners and Passover:

I'm not sure whether this was a joke, but in her most recent column, she suggests a Jewish couple give "Passover treats" to its new neighbors. Passover treats? Like matzo and Manischewitz? I mean, I like that stuff at a seder that supposed to be the mortar of the slaves in Egypt as much as the next person, but I'm not sure that I would like getting it from a neighbor instead of delicious baked goods.

Better to wait till after Passover and use some yeast, is all I'm saying.
