I hate Haroset. I have, during Korech, Matzah and Maror alone (I run the Sedder, so I've got the right to, right?) - in a sandwich, of course. Can't stand Haroset, love the Maror...
Be careful, today's D'var Torah stated how Pesach is a celebration of all sorts of psycological and psychiatrical disorders (OC in cleaning, food disorders, the various sons in the Hagaddah, et cetera).

I always make lots of extra Charoses, because everyone loves it so much. Apples, walnuts, lots of cinnamon and sweet red wine. Chop chop chop chop chop into a mush. Spread some on your matzah and cream cheese. Stir a nice spoonful into your plain yogurt. Or, like my son, top a load of it with a nice spoonful of plain yogurt.
Pesachy goodness!
We had Pesach S'mores over at our house. Top a matzah with chocolate chips and bake until they begin to melt. Then top that with marshmallows, and bake some more until the 'mallows puff up and start to brown.
Mmm-mmm good!
And every year, we eat "Machos". They are just like Nachos, except broken matzahs stand in for the tortilla chips. Cheese melted on, sour cream, olives, salsa. They are gone in a flash!

She didn't say her maror was salty. She complained about salty herbs. Maybe she had parsley dipped in salt water, like we do in our house, and doesn't happen to like the taste of parsley. (Some people do find it bitter.)

You've got it, Ela. This year I had only a taste. The first year (not even thinking) I threw the whole sprig in my mouth.

Ohhhh! Sorry, very used to maror being translated as "bitter herbs" -- even though that's not a good translation.

But it wouldn't occur to me to refer to karpas as any type of herbs (despite the fact that we often use parsley as a component), so maror was the only thing I thought of.

I bought a Pesach food processor solely for saving me the labor of chop chop chopping the charoses. I now chop it in the food processor. Because I'm modern Orthodox.
Some people grate their charoses. That's just wrong.
And our entire Pesach is dairy. The vegetarians all come and stay with us, so I don't even own fleishig Pesach things.

We bought a food processor for that purpose, too, Tante. It's wonderful (still remembers the days when we had to shell and chop all our walnuts for the charoset, cause you couldn't get shelled ones that were kosher for Pesach).
I also use the food processor to make other food items for Pesach.
We have chicken and chicken soup for the seders, for Friday night dinner, and for dinner on the last two days of Passover. For Passover holiday and Shabbat lunches and the other days we eat dairy.

Me too! And I was always the one who had to shell mountains of the things!

We usually have one (or maybe two) milchig yom tov lunches. Not Shabbos.
