Matzoh Charlotte - my favorite Passover recipe
I thought this was an old family recipe. And it is, sort of. Our family has been serving it at seder for at least as long as the Israelites wandered in the desert. But it comes from a cookbook - the Molly Goldberg Jewish cookbook - a gem worth buying just for the commentaries on the recipes ("By

Why, “beautiful season”, of course! And it looks like it was, despite the winds and rain.

darn, just what I was going to say. I guess I slept too late.

Oh, I was thinking “beautiful setting”.

Wonderful! Given that it’s sort of sukkot tzedakah, how about Safe Passage (http://www.safepass.org)? Do you get new “walls” each year?
