Matzah, matzah, matzah

Passover is here and that means just one thing---"special crackers." That is what we call matzah in the Asch family household (although Daddy says Miri will be saying matzah by the end of the holiday). Miri is in love with crackers, so we were a little bit worried about the transition to life with only matzah. So far, she has done great. Her favorites? Licking the peanut butter and cream cheese off of the matzah. She also enjoyed a breakfast of matzah brie this morning (matzah cooked with eggs). Also a big hit was Mrs. Feinberg's kugel. Who wouldn' t like sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, and matzah meal with lots of butter and sugar?

Mrs. Feinberg's was also a hit at our seder where we hosted family and friends. A special shout out to Gabe and Dennis, whose female halves abandoned them to foreign countries. We were so happy to have them at our place and love having family in DC. As always, it was wonderful to see Grandma Margery too!

One last note....some of our fans (okay, our family who care enough to comment) noted Miri's beautiful (and thematic) cherry dress. While we take credit for dressing her in it to view the cherry blossoms, we have to thank "Big Cousins" Gabe and Tamara for the thoughtful birthday gift. It was, indeed, a great pick.
