PASSOVER DUMPLINGS (SORT OF)

Posted on March 30, 2005

We found this idea somewhere recently and just before Purim, we tried it (had to avoid the post Purim black-out dates!). It actually was pretty good! We took some matzah balls and put them in a pan. We seasoned them with the usual array of Italian type spices. We then covered them with a really Continue Reading »

PASSOVER CEREAL THE CHEAP WAY

Posted on March 29, 2005

For those of you who eat Gebrokts (matzah in liquid), we have a simple alternative to spending huge bucks for KP cold cereals. Pour some matzah farfel in a bowl.

Posted on April 11, 2004

April 11, 2004 at 3:44:06p.m. Ever wonder what things like oat or spelt matzah taste like? Alexandra, one of my end-of-Pesach guests, reports that one of the highlights of her (Chabad) seder was a matzah-tasting. Yes, a matzah-tasting. Not different brands of shmurah (worthy of a rant in itself), but different types of shmurah. They Continue Reading »

PRODUCT REVIEWS

Posted on April 11, 2004

April 11, 2004 at 7:47:14a.m. We tried some new products this yom tov, and the results, by and large, were very positive. We made chicken cutlets with Savion’s chicken coating (crumb) mix.
