We Asked Mayim Bialik About Her Super-Organized Seder — And She Answered

This week, we ran a piece applauding the insanely organized Passover schedule Mayim Bialik posted on Instagram — and also had a whole lot of follow-up questions.

Like, does Mayim Bialik sell her chametz? Did Mayim Bialik invent the term “crazy-tush”? Why is this chart different from other charts?

Well, turns out, ask and you shall receive. Much to our delight, Bialik not only read our burning questions, but took the time to answer all of them on her site Grok Nation.

We won’t spoil her responses, but as a teaser, no, “The Big Bang Theory” cast member doesn’t buy her chametz, yes she hopes her hashtag #freedomfromwhateverbindsus takes off, and yes, yes, yes, she has lots of thoughts on how to make your Passover chart look as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

Read on here. Happy almost Passover, Mayim! May all of your planning pan out, and may you enjoy the #freedomfromwhateverbindsus.
