As so it was written. When the sun sets on the eighth day of Passover, G-d’s children shall prepare for yet another feast. And the feast will be a Mexican one. And it will be good.

Before you watch today’s Holiday Foods webisodes I want you to know that nobody makes a better brisket than my mom. When I say, “It’s like my mom’s brisket PLUS” I don’t mean it tastes better, I just mean there are more flavors because of the Italian twist. Both of them are really good but I can’t wait to have my mom’s brisket at the sedar next week:

And take a long hard look at the matzo webisode because Streits’ Matzo Factory – on the Lower East Side for more than 80 years – is moving to New Jersey soon where everything will be computerized so the matzo will cook evenly. Today it looks like a Jewish man’s vision of the future in 1925. In Jew Jersey . . . who knows?
