chili pinto beans
I concur with the apple pie
A Beginner's Guide to Passover Coke
@smokedmeat: Like the article says, grains are normally kosher, but during Passover extra rules apply. In this case, that Jews may not eat anything that can leaven (i.e. cereal, of which corn is one). This is to commemerate that the Jews had to leave Egypt in a hurry, and could not wait for their bread to rise.
In serious observant households, there is no grain allowed in the house during passover - which includes grain based spirits. My uncle actually sells all his liquor to the neighbor before Passover and then buys it back afterwords.
Serious Heat: Taming the Chile Fire
even washing your hands with soap and water will not remove the offending oil from your hands. Try rubbing your hands with veg oil and THEN washing your hands - takes it right off.

Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
all the water in the world will not get the chile oil off of your hands. It's basic chemistry - oil is not soluble in water so it cannot wash it away. Soap will get rid of some, but it is not a strong enough surfactant.
If you rub your hands with a generous amount of cooking oil, it will get rid of the chile oil on your hands, and you won't have this problem anymore.

Healthy & Delicious: White Chicken Chili
I realize this post is a bit old, It seems to me that turkey could make a reasonable substitution for the chicken. I've got some leftover turkey that I roasted in my BBQ sitting in the freezer. Anybody have any input before I try it and possibly ruin it? Thanks!

I used to go to the LA Reader office on Friday mornings to collect my mail, then I'd stop in the chain drugstore nearby to pick up a piece of beef jerky, and a package of vanilla creme sandwich cookies, which I'd eat while driving to my day job. Not together, just back-to-back. Can't remember if I ate the jerky or the cookies first, nor why I thought those would make a good breakfast.

Let's see: banana with a slice of American cheese, breaking off small triangles of cheese for each bite. My absolute favorite when I was little, and I still love it. I think my mom learned it from Mister Rogers.
Also, baby carrots w/ketchup and tortilla chips on the side; raw red cabbage with yellow mustard; and my guilty coming home drunk secret: bowl of white rice with American cheese melted on top. I like American cheese on most anything...

What’s Your Favorite Weird Snack Combo?
Cottage cheese and maple syrup - since I was a kid! Maybe it was my mom's way of persuading me to eat cottage cheese - I guess it worked! Pretzels (the saltier, the better) and bananas - don't remember where I got this one! Potato chips with pineapple cream cheese spread on them - college days craziness, but sooooo yummy! I guess it's the salty-sweet thing. One of the guys I went to college with used to lift up the top crust of his apple pie and pour on some ketchup! I thought this was really wierd and was too afraid to try it, but my sister worked for the Heinz experimental / developmental kitchens at the time and they tried baking apple pies with ketchup, so maybe it was more popular than I thought. However, it never went anywhere, I guess other people were afraid, too!
Anyway, this same guy also ate Milkbones dog treats, so there you go!

a couple here for ya- first one is tuna salad (the old fashoined Mom made kind) with canned sliced pears and Lay's potato chips. You take a sturdy lookin chip, put a slice of canned pear and then a spoonful of tuna salad on top of it. Awesome. the other is a "pickle-sickle"- take dill pickle juice and pour it into ice cube trays and stick some kind of short skewer in it and freeze.

I like ice cream and popcorn. You have to eat the popcorn really quickly though, so it doesn't get soggy. Best with Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby.
Also, challah and whipped chive cream cheese.
