Recipe: Matzo Meatloaf
Meatloaf is one of my all time favorites… it brings me back to my childhood. My mother used to make meatloaf at least once a week with a side of mashed tators. She would scream out the window to my brother Morty and I to come in to the table. We never had a problem leaving the stickball game to run inside for mom’s meatloaf.

Three-Sewer Morty
We use to call my brother “Three-Sewer Morty.” For those of you out there who aren’t stickball players please allow me to explain. A three-sewer guy is a kid who can hit the ball three sewers away from home plate… it’s like a block and a half. We never saw a kid hit four. No one can hit four sewers… no one!

My Brother Morty
My beloved brother Morty flew in from Boca today for Pesach. I can’t wait to see him in action at the Seder table. His favorite part is the “required” four glasses of wine per person, per Seder. Oh Morty…he is such a card….ya just gotta love him.

“What’s the Big Deal?” – Going Viral
Jacob says I’ve gone “viral.” I asked him if I should go to the doctor. He explained to me that matzobox is getting a lot of visitors from different Internet websites and from people telling their friends. I asked him how could he tell? Apparently we have something called Google Analytics.

Thin Salted Matzo: Not for Pizza
So just as I suspected the Thin Salted Matzo is not ideal for pizza. It’s mushy and does not hold up well under toppings. Also, I didn’t exactly love the extra salt especially with the mozz cheese. I highly recommend using regular unsalted matzo or if you feel like being healthy, the whole wheat matzo, REALLY turns out a crunchier pizza crust.
