I had read that corned beef for St. Patrick's was an American thing, but didn't I also read that St. Patrick's Day itself in the US is very different from in Ireland - not just the food.<BR/><BR/>Hello, Juliet. I think that calls out for the creation of one - starting with you! There's no reason that a tradition has to be handed to you. My wife and I eat homemade pizza on New Year's Eve - a tradition that started with us.<BR/><BR/>Hi, Linda. Thanks so much. The words may be mine, but the idea is embedded within Passover traditions.sister AEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253107622268200803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22793574.post-30758263655150867382008-03-02T12:03:00.000-05:002008-03-02T12:03:00.000-05:00I love the way this is written!

I think ...I've never eaten a matzo ball in my life! I think that I need to rectify that. <BR/><BR/>I feel the same about Irish stew. My mother made it and was very particular that it must be made with lamb. I have had it with beef and it just isn't the same. Irish stew was always served on St. Patrick's day. We never served corned beef and cabbage, in fact it was never heard of and both of my parents were born in Ireland. Funny how Americanized recipes get once they get moving.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22793574.post-40310176087675870082008-03-01T14:57:00.000-05:002008-03-01T14:57:00.000-05:00Hi, Robin.And now I think I'll taste your matzo ba...Hi, Robin.<BR/>And now I think I'll taste your matzo balls at Passover too!sister AEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253107622268200803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22793574.post-11522707742613649572008-03-01T14:10:00.000-05:002008-03-01T14:10:00.000-05:00I'm a fluffy girl myself, and like you I pride mys...I'm a fluffy girl myself, and like you I pride myself on my matza balls. I shared the recipe with a friend a few months ago and she was horrified by the amount of fat, but I wouldn't change a thing. There is love and history in every bite, who cares about a little extra cholesterol? <BR/><BR/>Passover is at my house this year but even on the off years one of my permanent contributions is the chicken soup with matza balls. We are very lucky to spend our holidays with two other families of dear friends whose families are also not in Israel, and I love the fact that my grandmother's matza balls (and sweet potatoes) are now part of their tradition too.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409530202277375625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22793574.post-20623856537383533912008-03-01T13:15:00.000-05:002008-03-01T13:15:00.000-05:00Thanks, Gautami.
