No one is looking for ways OUT. We are looking for ways IN, ways in to enjoying the food we eat on PEsach, that was often very bland and limited. Ways in to NOT feeling like Pesach is synonymous with UGH, matzah AGAIN?????????? Ways in to feeling, WOW, I cannot wait to try this new recipe l’kovod yom tov! People who view these enhancements of the Chag is being “loopholes” might possibly lose sight that Hashem has NEVER asked us to deprive oruselves of the enjoyment of Pesach. he only asks us to refrain from eating MAMESH CHOMETZ. I asked this once before – do you drink coffee at a fleishig simcha, with pareve creamer, or enjoy tofutti or other soy products that may be consumed with meat? DO you ever read an Artscroll Chumash or Talmud? Maybe those things should also be assur in your eyes, because they enable us to do something we might otherwise not be able to do.

We have enough important strictures that we MUST follow in order to be frum. Please don’t negate the things that we have learned MAY be done in an halachically acceptable way. Otherwise don;t bother making cholent for Shabbos, either.
