I interjected once I saw where it was going. "Oh, you just do it 'til it's done," she said. I put Andy in charge of the charosis. :) My mother-in-law’s Charosis recipe, given to me over the phone a few days before the first seder Andy and I hosted (which was also, I think, only the second seder I’d ever attended):

I have very nearly the same recipe from my grandmother. You fold the nuts into the beaten egg yolks after the matzo meal and before the egg whites.

I use honey in the charoses because I like it that way, and I don'use nuts in the sponge cake because I don't like it that way. That might also be why I didn't write down when to add them. Also, I think it's time you knew that I don't use Manischewitz in the charoses, even though my grandmother did. I just use the sweetest Passover wine I have bought for the seder.
