How can you serve in Pesach dishes, don't you have challah on the table?

I'm trying to figure out how to turn over early enough to do cooking in advance I'd like to makes soups and main dishes and freeze before Pesach but also still want to eat chametz! Ahh decisions decisions !!

Oops didn't mean to quote you etcky...,certainly not singling you out...just wondering the logistics in general...about having chametz shabbos when kitchen is turned over already. Sorry!!

We cook in pesach pots, serve in disposables, eat in disposable dishes. Trash is in the dining room. Nothing goes back into the kitchen once it leaves. If someone wants a second bowl of soup they get a new (disposable) bowl for it.

Sometimes ppl eat challah outside & then come back inside the house for the rest of the meal or else they eat it over a napkin very very carefully so that there are no crumbs & then they proceed with the rest of the kosher l'pesach meal.

We're turning over the dining room and the fleishik and pareve parts of the kitchen now and tomorrow (Sunday). The milchik side of the kitchen and the breakfast room will stay chometzdik until next Sunday.

Next Shabbos we can make kiddush and hamotzi at the breakfast table and then move to the Pesachdik dining table with Pesach food and Pesach dishes -- I like yapchik!

Tomorrow, iy"H! I just shlepped down all the boxes, and I am tired. In the morning, while DH is at shul and learning, I have a tiny bit of the fridge left, some covering, and a few Shabbos dishes to wash. (I left the urn on so that I can use warm water without turning it on in the sinks.)

Next week, we are set up for a last bit of chametz/kitniyot in the DR with a microwave and toaster. I'll close that up on Thursday, and clean well. Shabbos will be made pesachdik and kitniyot except for challah, which we will eat over paper plates on a disposable plastic tablecloth cover. I'll probably serve on paper, though, just in case, and bring out the pesachdik china after I am satisfied that the room is all clean.

Monday iyh. Two days from now. My husband works crazy late the rest of the week (think supermarket manager) so it's my only option. I finish my dining room last so we eat chometz there

wednesday --- BUT from the past I know that it takes me the rest of the day to cover. I have a pretty large kitchen. And then shlep in all the pesach boxes from the garage .... it takes so much time that nothing will get cooked until the next day. Oh, what another pair of hands could do .....

Cleaning th fridge, oven, pantry, cabinets on monday and tuesday, then kashering and lining on wednesday. The stress bothers me more than the cleaning, so I would rather be done early. Dining room is easiest to clean, so we will have chometz there until motzei shabbos. Paper/plastic on shabbos hagadol. This way I can cook and bake without stress on sunday and monday.

I am running a mishpachton in the house through Wednesday. I am planning on finishing everything Wednesday night and kashering on Thursday. Shabbot haGadol will be Pesach, but I will buy the kids KLP cereal they can eat outside on disposables and we'll have chummos, etc. also on disposables. The living room will get a final once over on Sunday once all the chamatz is totally out. That's the plan anyway, check back next week to see what happened Wink

That's exactly what we do. Hamotzi on challah in the small chametz part of the kitchen (chalavi counter and kitchen table) which I will only turn over Sunday evening and the rest of the meal KLP in the dining room.

We cook on Yom Tov.

We prefer fresh food anyway, so not that much cooking and freezing going on here.

Turning over kitchen on Friday, but will leave ovens (self cleaning) until after Shabbos. Dining room table will stay chometz until after Shabbos. Cook for Shabbos (kitniyos) on Thursday. Disposable everything. My family also loves chulent. I make it in a crock pot that is plugged in on a small table away from everything else.wash in the bathroom
