Today I figured I'd try looking for it since Passover is coming up but I thought I might still be a bit early since Passover isnt until the end of April. But I found a whole section of matzo crackers, matzo ball soup, macarons, and I even found kosher Coke you can tell is different because it has a yellow cap. I didn't even know that was a thing until the other day. But its sweetened with some other type of sweetener besides high fructose corn syrup and its only avaliable during Passover. So its super limited. But yeah it was an interesting grocery trip. I guess they have all this stuff out now so people can stock up before. Its a good thing I didn't wait any longer I suppose. I also went back to the used clothes store and got a pair of Old Navy jeans with the tags still on them and a pair of Nike shorts.

I grew up eating all the old-fashioned traditional Jewish foods. I loved them. Most of it is hard to find anymore and much of it has garbage-ey ingredients. I don't know if I've ever had kosher Coke, but maybe I did in Israel - the Coke there was so much better than here.
