Passover means clearing out the house of bread, cake, cookies and all the good stuff as they know it; no rice, no pasta, no flour, no yeast or leavening agent of any kind. No run downstairs to the corner boulangerie for the lunchtime baguette or that once-a-week homemade pizza night. There have been years when I kept a strict house when he has absolutely revolted around the 6th or 7th night, exhorting that there is no way he can go the entire holiday, those seemingly endless 8 days, 8 lunches, 8 dinners, without bread! Yes, Passover is the most difficult of the Jewish holidays to "sell" to a non-Jewish spouse. Rounding off that typical French meal with cheese is just not the same when it is eaten on matzoh!
