Pesach birthday

I can’t eat gluten. We’re not Orthodox, and don’t worry about hechshers or kitniot, but other than that we do not eat chametz during Pesach. We’ll have proper matzo on the table, plus GF matzo for me.

My birthday falls on Seder night this year. I could just celebrate before or after Pesach, but I rarely do anything much for my birthday and this one’s a significant one. So I’d quite like to have something special at the meal.

Any suggestions?

"Growing up, my family did not eat kitniot. But now, with so many medical dietary restrictions in our family, also avoiding chemical raising agents and kitniot would leave Pesach looking more like Yom Kippur!"

@Dilbertian That is a funny Jewish joke. Well done!
