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. I told him that my great niece Annie had been announcing the blog in something called “forums,” listing it on Jewish websites and “commenting” on other people’s blogs. She…

I must have matzo brei on the brain. Here’s another take on an old classic Pesach dish. It’s sweet and DELISHIOSO! It makes a great snack or a sweet breakfast.

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.

Thin Salted Matzo
I’ve been a bit under the weather so Gertie has been taking care of me. Tonight she is making me matzo pizza dinner. She just came into the living room to show me the new packaging for the Manischewitz Thin Salted matzo. It seems they have wrapped the matzo in plastic wrap into two separate sections, with six matzos in each. I’ve never seen this before and I’m kveling over this new feature. It definitely will preserve the freshness of…

My Grandmother Lilly used to cook this up all of the time. Maybe that’s where I get my matzo gene.

Recipe: Horseradish Salmon en Matzo Croûte
My daughter-in-law, Faye has been obsessed with this recipe. It is inspired by Martha Stewarts’ “Horseradish Crusted Salmon.” Faye says, “It’s so now.” So I made it with matzo, instead of breadcrumbs and let her try it. I’ll let you be the judge.
