Today’s issue of Kosher Today carries this story. We feel it is so important, we are carrying the story in whole: (Chicago) Four leading Chicago rabbis issued a far-reaching ruling on the kosher for Passover status of medicines, cosmetics, and toiletries. ?All pill medication (with or without chometz) that one swallows is permitted without special Continue Reading »
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 »
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. Add a ton of sugar or artificial sweetener (that way it tastes more like boxed, sweetened cereals), pour in the milk, and voila- one bowl Continue Reading »
Our fave Hamantaschen are by Mollie B. But, truth be told, we never met a Hamantasch that we didn’t like. Big ones, little ones, fruit filled, chocolate filled- you name it, we like them. We eat them for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. We eat them on Shabbes, we eat them during the week. In Continue Reading »
We are sure that there will be an update to this resource issued this year, but it still makes good sense to check out last year’s Passover guide for Jewish Diabetics. Check out: http://www.jewishdiabetes.org/PesachApril2004En.pdf We have seen better examples of writing, but it says what it has to say and presents it all in a Continue Reading »

In a few hours from now (as I write), it will be Tisha B’Av. We will not update on 9 Av. We wish you an easy fast. More important, we wish you a meaningful fast. May the story of Kamtza and Bar Kamtza and its underlying theme of baseless hatred inspire us to move closer Continue Reading »
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 »
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. The cutlets were moist, tender and delectable. With cranberry chutney served on the side, it was a perfect meal for after shul during Continue Reading »
April 4, 2004 at 4:08:48p.m. … Or at least, making a list of where I hid the chametz so that I can be sure of finding it all later on tonight! (Ah, the joys of growing older!) So here it is almost. The roast beast is cooked, the meat balls are simmering, the chicken is Continue Reading »
