STIR THE POTS

Matzoh Mio

Lapsed religious obligations can't defeat more primal familial ties. Guilt hits Jew, he bakes matzoh. I used ancient Italian grains (Sicilian Palmento, Parman Miracolo) Einkorn flour from Maine, and then some white whole wheat from Montana. Sadly one last matzoh got carbonized, my offering to the days of old. Chag Semeach!

Matzah

You shall eat no leavened bread with it; seven days you shall eat matzos, the bread of affliction; for in haste did you come forth out of the land of Egypt; that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

—Deuteronomy 16:3
