 Couple questions for Angry (if your there)....would you share what your doing to make matzoh brittle (is it like brittle or toffee?) and how do you present your sb chiffon cake (mini's? and what flavor chiffon?)? Thanks Dana. Just curious, they sound really good...

| Wendy, the matzoh brittle is nothing more than caramel coated/ drizzled matzah sheets with almonds. You can probably drizzle a toffee mixture. For the straw. chiffon cake, they're 9" or 10". Split into 3 layers and fill with sweetened whipped cream(or parve topping) and sliced strawberries. Fill the center hole with strawberries too. The chiffon cake is orange. |

| Thanks Dana. I never thought about using matzoh like that, it's really very cleaver!

| My Dears! How delightful! Dear Abby has a surprise for you. Despite Chef Henri's personal aversion to computers, he must have become curious enough to read this thread while Dear Abby was away from her desk. How else to explain the mysterious appearance of this recipe for Passover Chocolate Matzo Brittle Crunch? This note was scrawled across the page: "Madame, there are similar recipes for this confection; however, I assure you that this recipe came not from a goy, but from a true Baleboosteh! Madame, you are a meshugeneh to think that you might find this exact recipe on the Internet. Cyberspace! What kind of mishigas is that? This recipe is a real mechaya -- feel free to share it with your friends, Madame. And as always, I, Henri, have tested this recipe personally and will guarantee the results." Chocolate Matzo Brittle Crunch Plain Matzo 8 ounces unsalted Parve (Passover) margarine 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup brown sugar I cup chopped pecans or slivered almonds 10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips Cover a cookie sheet with foil. Line the cookie sheet evenly with matzos, breaking and adding pieces as necessary to fill pan. Melt margarine with brown sugar and salt in saucepan, stirring constantly until it begins to boil. Cook and stir for about 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Pour this mixture over matzos and sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8 minutes. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the matzos. After they melt (in about 4 or 5 minutes), spread as evenly as possible over surface. Chill in refrigerator for one hour. Break matzo into random sizes and shapes before serving. Nosh! Dear Abby most sincerely hopes that you enjoy. Shalom! Abby Edited at Chef Henri's request to correct minor error. Zisn Pesach Abby

| Funny Henri uses that recipe, so do half the housewives in my area....but they use saltine crackers instead and then call it 'toffee'.

| I am not surprised at all If you consider that Americans, for years, have been learning on TV from Henri how to cook everything...  I wonder how much a chef of Henri's caliber costs to Dear Abby...

| My dearest Athenaeus, Dear Abby sees that you think you know who she really is. You spoke of her legendary parties in Miami, Aspen, Hollywood, and Tuscany almost as if you had been there yourself. She does not remember meeting a beautiful attorney from Greece! Mon amie, is it possible that you are married to an American? My dear, Henri is certainly well known among some, but Dear Abby would not call him a celebrity, per se. Quote:

| Well, after all this great advice and counsel, I didn't make anything  Last Monday I was informed that I was the proud owner of a herniated disk in my lower back. I couldn't stand for more than 30 seconds. There was no way I could do all the baking I wanted to and I couldn't even go to the Seder. When I thought this would all be fine and dandy I did start the flourless mandelbrot. I learned of my plight after the fact so I did at least finish them. The were pretty tasty and provided comfort during the discomfort
