Easter Sunday

Parking spots are plentiful Just like they used to be. The promenade is empty – On the benches, only me. It’s Passover and Easter; Folks are visiting their friends Or families to celebrate Before the daylight ends. They’re either eating matzoh balls Or possibly, a ham With lots of homemade goodies For desserts for all to cram. I don’t know what the Easter people Drink, but in New York, We Pesach* folk drink Manischewitz, Wine without a cork. *Passover

I'm not Jewish but I do like Manischewitz wine in small amounts – too sweet for me. Ham at Easter as a Christian tradition has anything but a christian tradition. (It's worth googling, by-the-way.) / Maurice

"They’re either eating matzoh balls Or possibly, a ham" - or maybe both?

Manischewitz and boiled eggs should certainly inspire Jan . . . .

Man, oh man, oh Manischewitz. This year I almost couldn't believe it. Manischewitz now offers round Schmura matzo. Don't ask. I wasn't willing to take a chance. $22.99 a box was too much of a gamble for this ex-teacher. lol. I decided to 'rebel' and pay $6.99 a box for about 18 machine-made square shmura boxes, from Lakewood NJ. (My seder-goers demand schmura). I hide my 5 boxes of Yehuda non-schmura, for which I paid $3.99. lol. Happy P!

Hey Gershon! I’ve only had Schmura matzo a few times and liked it a lot but it’s always been much more expensive than regular matzo so I never buy it. We always give away our extra boxes after Passover - I don’t mind eating it, but once I can eat bagels again, there’s no comparison!
