Susan, i looked it up with google. Since I don't care for the sweet things like sweet pancakes or waffles, why, I didn't even think about it.
But the matzo brei is really so very simple. And the amounts vary, according to how one likes it.For example, one runs the matzoh underwater. But how much water is a personal matter. One can use a sheet of matzoh with 2 eggs; or 2 sheets of matzoh with one egg, perhaps it was. I like 2 eggs with one large sheet of matzoh. By the way, they tell one not to use egg matzoh, because it is too soft. If you want all particulars, i can look it up again.

Hi, Penny: I have friends who were dining with some Jewish friends today and they were having matzohbrei, the kind with eggs and onions. What would one put in the sweet one? Cinnamon, butter and brown sugar, maybe?

It shows you've got that sensitive side. There is no way to get tough for it, so you may as well not try. I'm so excited for you. May all go smoothly for all 3 of you. I saw a 2 pound easter bunny (chocolate, of course) in Walmart today; it was in a tall skinny sort of box. I wasn't even tempted to get that. Anyhow, the story about not telling the kids you're eating Easter bunny made my friends laugh. They thought it was really humorous. Night to you all, except those on the other side of the world--Good day to you all over there. I'm hoping to make myself some Matzo brei tomorrow. the word brei is pronounced bry. It's kind of a Passover Jewish french toast. Only you wet down some matzo like crackers, break that up; then scramble a couple eggs with those cracker-pieces inh them. Some people make it sweet; but I prefer savory. Some people saute onion first to have with it, but I think that's fussiness. I just want eggs and matzoh. Yum Yum, Yum. I could say: O to be a child again and have Mother fixing that. Now I'm the oldest generation; and if I want it, or a nice hot cup of tea, or whatever, it's fix it yourself, old girl.

Our traditional Easter dinner consisted of a honey-baked ham, sour cream potatoes, which is a potato casserole with onion, condensed soup, and topped with buttered corn flakes cereal which our family loves, as well as a molded fruit salad and homemade rolls. We are having that meal as a family this coming weekend, and I'm bringing the apple pie and ice cream. Marilyn, your story of the rabbit made me laugh but good. Eating rabbit for dinner at Easter is just too ironic. I have had rabbit only once, and that not long ago when we went to spend Thanksgiving weekend with my sister-in-law in San Francisco in 2012. I thought it was pretty good. And Heather, Emily and the baby, yet to be born, are doing fine, but Dad....well, he needs to find some way to get tough for the delivery, and fast. Our doctor is certain the baby will be here in just two or three weeks, a bit earlier than her due date. And Dad's not sure if he will be able to handle the labor and delivery; kind of sad, since he's not the one carrying the baby.
