Figured that it was time for the obligatory Passover post.
Over the years, I've reported about the glories of my Matzoh Ball Soup, the Pesach Tam-Tam crisis and the 2010 Chinese takeout seder. This year, I went back to a traditional "let my people go" fete, complete with Roast Chicken, Caramelized Carrots & Fennel, Matzoh Polenta with Wild Mushrooms and a screening of "The Ten Commandments." So, nothing really new on the Passover front to report from my kitchen.
Luckily, a PR pitch landed in my in-box at just the right moment. It was a pitch about a breakthrough in the kosher confectionery market.
Kosher Candied Bacon!?! Nope.
It was the introduction of Rabbi Mints, created in part with the talmudic guidance of Rabbi Adam Mintz. (Mints. Mintz. Get it?!?) I couldn't resist. Besides, these breath-freshening lovelies are also a mitzvah, with a portion of all mint sales going to the American Jewish World Service, an agency that supports refugees in Darfur.
Good friends at my table, bowls of Matzoh Ball Soup, a platter of delicious Roast Chicken, Yul Bryner in his prime, fresh breath and money donated to charity?
Can't really ask for more at a seder in Brooklyn. No need to wish for "next year in Jerusalem!" Next year on Joralemon will do me just fine!
