I blink my eyes and Passover once again is about to creep up on me and throw that proverbial plastic bag over my face. Then the holiday will hold the bag tight ‘til my struggling body goes limp.
Actually, I’m making more of it than it is. To all you non-Jews out there that have never been to a Passover Seder – think Thanksgiving combined with rules and reading out loud. And of course zero bread or anything with yeast (stuffing, beer, etc.) Basically because some Jewish, Moses roadie didn’t know how to budget time very well, we’re stuck chompin’ on Matzo for 7 %$#% days. Ugh.
Here’s the first of 30 reasons of why I feel Matzo sucks.
#1: Matzo immediately shatters into crumbs when you spread anything on it, especially butter.
I am gonna enjoy this series of posts!
ReplyDeleteI happen to love matzo... I use matzo meal instead iof bread crumbs when I oven bake chicken! I also love matzo brei!!!!!omg
Afikomen time, baby
It was one of the things I could eat, when on a iodine free diet....it's not exactly moist, is it?
ReplyDeleteDoes one usually lose weight during this time? I can do without beer (yuck) but bread! Hot, fresh bread... I'm too weak.
ReplyDeletehaha, this gearing up to be a good series.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I didn't dig at my college boyfriend's Seder dinners was the chicken liver pate. Yuck! I've always liked matzo, matzo ball soup is my fave, the hard boiled egg, roasted chicken - and leaving the door open for Elijah. Man, I wanna be Jewish!
ReplyDeleteIt does stink that, in order to make matza have any flavor, you need to make a big crumbly mess. Charoset works pretty well, though.
