Hang in There

I know, I know, I’ve heard it all before: “I just can’t eat one more piece of matzo.” Usually when someone makes this announcement they have spent the last five days or so eating matzo with tuna, jelly or peanut butter on it. They have not yet discovered how glorious it can be. So I beg you.. please don’t give up on matzo just yet. You have to use it to the best of its abilities, not just as a “cracker” to hold up some mundane ingredients.

You are at a crossroads right now. This is it… THIS IS IT! You can choose to fall off the Passover wagon and dive into some pasta, have another dinner of matzo and tuna fish, or take the road less traveled and use your matzo for good and make something deliciouso. Good luck to you all.  Hopefully at the end of the Passover 2009 road you will see the light and have a matzo epiphany much like the one I had many moons ago… and you won’t ever want to let it go.

DID YOU KNOW?

• Since matzo was traditionally made by hand and was round, the idea of changing how the matzo was made and shaped caused some individuals to believe that the square machine made matzo was not in any way traditional and therefore less kosher.
