We wouldn’t vote for this guy anyway, but…

Pesach has always been my least favorite holiday. A week of cleaning the house, getting rid of the chometz, and preparing for mediocre food for a week. Although, my mother used to make a pesadich honey cake that was out of this world, and my father made French toast from matza that my kids requested all year round.

I have mixed feelings. There are some foods that, though they are available year-round, are only eaten by us during Passover. These include egg matzoh, which are supposed to be consumed by the elderly or infirm — unfortunately, we qualify on the first criterion and increasingly on the second. I'm one of the few people I know who likes gefilte fish, particularly the sweet variety. Passover macaroons and jelly candies are also favorites. When I was growing up, my grandmother made an excellent Passover borsht that required fermentation while it was being prepared, but I haven't had it in 50 years or so.

And now I start making the matzoh ball soup…

I’m married to a shiksa, but my wife and daughter love my matzoh ball soup, so I make it every Easter.

I’m married to a shiksa

By the convention, that would make your daughter a shiksa as well, right?

Yes, though she considers herself an atheist jew.

I love gefilte fish! But I like the kind straight out of the jar. My first mother-in-law used to make it from scratch, and it was always dry and tasteless. My shagetz husband hates “gefilger” fish, but he’d never had horseradish before we met, so he gives it a pass for being the reason horseradish came into his life.

Oh borscht! I haven’t had a good borscht in years (and not the kind that comes in a jar). My grandmother and great-grandmother both came from Ukraine, and brought the recipe with them. Unfortunately, they never shared.
