<p>Calmom - My sympathies on your loss.</p>
<p>Calmom
Thanks for the site. My family always does a 5th for the present time, especially as relatives in army and on front line.
i loved the site, downloaded recipes. I wish i had asked you where to shop. local stores in my area of CA woeful.</p>
<p>Am quite tired of matzah and eggs already. Cholestoral numbers must be through the roof.</p>
<p>Cama</p>
<p>Cama: eating matzah all through Pesach is a mitzvah. Eating eggs is only a minhag. G-d didn’t take us out of Egypt to give us high cholesterol. You can scrap the eggs.</p>
<p>It’s not that I’m just eating eggs but so many of the receipes have eggs in them…oh well in any event have a great rest of the holiday. NY bagels on Monday morning.</p>
<p>I think my unopened boxes of matzo reproduce in the pantry. This year I got smart (or so I thought) and didnt buy a 5 pack. I only bought 2 boxes. And we’ve polished off one. But now there are 3 in the pantry. And hubby didn’t buy any…</p>
<p>here In Ny, Li if you spend $50.00 at the food store you get a free 5lb case of matzah, so needless to say we have alot of matzah. I sent alot back with my college kids when they went back to school, but still enough is enough.</p>
<p>Hahaha, I forgot about that Cama! I think they did that in Westchester too, when I lived there. But here in the South, things are a lot different. Fortunately, there happens to be a Chabad near our house, and the nearby supermarket has a VERY well stocked kosher section, and is well stocked at Passover too. This year someone must have educated the folks at the store, as for once they didn’t put everyting away after the first night!</p>
<p>addendum;
No free matzo for us, though. They don’t do that down here.</p>
<p>My daughter has found this to be a cruel week for Passover. It is senior week at her school with many classroom celebrations and special lunches. The first problem was the school “forgot” it was Passover and didn’t purchase any Matzoh. Next the seniors were presented with a special cake, one class had a pizza party, school wide cookout, and one teacher treated them to bagels for breakfast. The bagel morning she has brought matzah and hummus for lunch so she ate that with her classmates, but it still wasn’t the same as having her favorite bagel! Saturday night there is a big birthday party where I have a feeling she will decide Passover is over!</p>
<p>My husband on the other hand is so over the eggs for breakfast. He is looking forward to a bowl of cereal Monday morning.</p>
<p>My S attends a private school where they provide lunch. They always get some matzah for the kids and teachers who want that during Passover. But they keep running out because the other kids think it is exotic and tasty (oy!). </p>
<p>I’ve had about enough of exotic and tasty myself. Totally ready for Sunday night.</p>
<p>Loved the comment about multiplying matzah. It does seem we always have too much too. Geez, maybe I should bring my leftovers to school.</p>
<p>Just finished the last of the leftover matzah balls and soup. Now that I don’t complain about! It is good.</p>
<p>Good shabbos!</p>
