Don't I just wish.  As it is, I just now won the argument to put almonds
into the charoseth
instead of the walnuts, since [1] everyone seems to be allergic to walnuts,
tho' that didn't stop Mom before, ever;  [2] The Children of Israel didn't
have walnuts but they did have almonds, [3] they were free since I had
about 10 pounds in my freezer.  I think #3 did the trick.
