I also have a list of reminders - just things that went wrong the year before and need to be rectified in the future, or general reminders of things that I tend to forget from year to year. So I had this great laugh before when I opened that document (all my Pesach lists are on my computer) to check how much matzoh my husband should purchase, as he has an appt. at the matzoh bakery this afternoon, and I saw the comment that I had written next to my Pesach cake recipe: It said "When baking Pesach nut cakes remember that Shiya (my 8-year-old) loves the nut cakes and he eats up everything that I bake having XXXX (husband) in mind!"
