For fun I went back and read the menu. Literally all the kitniyot dishes in her menu are for Shabbat, which is *not* pesach. The techina she mentioned is "almond" techina, so not kitniyot.

I mean, I have no problem with her being Sephardic. Or not. But if we're analyzing her menu for evidence, there is none.

String beans? Techina? It’s pesach...Are you sefardic?


The string beans and rice are before Pesach

The techina is almond base not sesame

The corn dog also, the recipe from elanas pantry great resource

ds asked me why flour is chometz since it comes from wheat that grows in the ground just like fruits and vegetables!


IIRC, it has something to do with sourdough, since really before modern days every bread was a "sourdough" bread (as there was no jarred freeze-dried yeast). Chomutz is "sour" in Hebrew (look familiar?). Grains like rye, wheat, spelt, etc will begin to ferment and gain a sour smell once mixed with water over time (a "sourdough starter," if you will). Add it to more flour and boom, you'll have rising action in your dough. But no matter how much water you add to potato flour/tapioca starch/etc, it might ferment, but won't have the same rising action in a dough as when one of the five grains would in the same setting. You could ferment cabbage and get kimchi or sauerkraut, but it wouldn't be chometz.

I don't remember the whole explanation though, so ask your LOR.

Flour is not chametz. Products made from flour can be chametz. They also can be matza.

Flour produced in America is allowed to have drops of water in the bag. The amount is controlled bec it affects the weight of the flour. But there is an allowed amount.
Bec of this many kashrus agencies in America say to sell flour with chametz just in case the water caused some flour to become chametz.

Cut cabbage in half. Then cut large wedges. Arrange on roasting tray. drizzle with olive oil and salt. Roast at 200 C til edges start to brown, about 45 min.

Many people hold that in the US, cabbage and iceberg lettuce do not need to be checked beyond the first three leaves for insects.

(That's how Dole, Fresh Express, and other salad companies are able to sell cole slaw mixes and iceberg lettuce mixes with star-k hechshers and the like)
