Marcia - My knaidlach (matzo balls) are the perfect in-between - and my Dad called them bombs vs. sinkers - My trick is when I make them from one of the mixes, I add extra matzo meal.

Bill - ah , haroses - this a concoction of coarslely grated apples, chopped nuts (I use walnuts), red wine and cinammon - it symbolizes the mortar the Israelites used when they toiled to make the sphynx for the Egyptians. Everybody has their own secret method of making it. My Aunt Norma is the expert in our family and brings it every year in this glass leaf serving bowl.

Marcia - if you want to come up to Toronto, you and the family are more than welcome at our 2 seders - the first night we are at DH's family (14 people), the second night my family - (24)

I've got to get going - I have Herceptin # 16 tomorrow, and I promised my onc. and one of my chemo buddies that I would bring down some of my Passover choc. chip cookies, so I'm baking up about 4 batches today.

all the best
