Every year without fail, the same wonderful holiday known as Passover rolls around. And every year without fail it is crazy! First we start about a month in advance cleaning our entire house. From top to bottom we go through drawers, couch crevices, and the like in search of what we call "unleavened bread."We only have "matzoh" in our house when the holiday finally arrives. This commemorates the time the Jewish people were brought out of Egypt by Moses and did not have time to let their bread rise so instead the sun baked these large crackers known as matzoh. After cleaning for about a month we start to cook, cook, cook... I never in my life cook as much as I do for Passover. Its kinda like Thanksgiving but for eight days! The family comes together and you have all these big meals where you eat and drink... its a celebration so it makes sense that we eat so much but my stomach is starting to hurt me ;)
