With Passover less than a week away, it's time to start talking matzo. (Or matzoh, matza, or matzah.) The
unleavened, cracker-like sheets are fun to munch on the first night of Seder (which falls on
Monday, March 29, this year), but after a few days into the holiday, you need to change things up. Matzagna anyone?

If you didn't get enough gefilte fish over Passover, which ends today, here's a new one: deep-fried gefilte fish. Following the golden rule of everything's more palatable deep-fried, the fish patty moves from a jar of jiggly broth to a vat of bubbling fat juices. Phyllis of me hungry! was inspired after her husband took a whiff of the stuff plain: He’s never been a fan of processed food, and he likes his food served warm. So he offered up a novel suggestion, 'Could you maybe deep fry it for me?' Funny that he should ask—I just finished reading an article about deep fried gefilte fish, which is apparently quite popular in the UK. Deep frying makes everything delicious but...

This tour of the Aviv matzo factory in Bnei-Brak, Israel, has everything you could want in a video about making matzo: an enthusiastic host who converses with his own narration and makes silly jokes, plenty of cartoonlike sound effects, and random pop-up notes with facts about the factory.

L'Chaim! Stock Up Now! Photograph courtesy of mhaithaca While bread gets cracker-ified during Passover, chosen bottles of soda get stripped of their high-fructose corn syrup and are sweetened instead with the real deal. No need to hunt for imported Mexican colas or hitch a ride south of the border for the cane sugar cola that tastes so great. That's right: Passover Coke is here! (Or Passover Pepsi, if you're on that side of the Cola War.) Both Coca-Cola and Pepsi make a real-sugar version around this time of year, and you can find it by looking for yellow caps on Coke bottles or white caps on Pepsi. But to be sure you really have a sweet, sweet sugariffic cola in...
