With such a strange title, I knew you'd click!

This is to be a compilation of any and all of your lightbulb moment type ideas relating to pesach. Be it how you handle the seder with small kids, about dishes, an all time favorite recipe, organization tip, basically any bright idea that can help others.

Now I'm gonna quote 2 of your ideas posted elsewhere,
cindy324 said buy dishes and stuff at restaurant equip & supply places for a fraction of the cost,
and amother said its a great time to switch over from a bottle to a cup.

Now keep adding your lightbulb moment ideas, we can all get smarter!

* Three, one to change it, one to do a Buddhist mindfulness practice during the change, and one to document the paradigm shift in a best-selling book called "The Jew in the Lightbulb."

* Four, same as above plus an additional rabbi to study the psyho-halachic implications of such a change and then lead a retreat weekend on the experience.

I always make a light meal around dinner time to prevent junk eating between lunch and the next seder, its about 8 hours between, no body goes that long without food, and it keeps us adults from weight gain/ children from getting hyper from all the sugar!
