Matzo Bread in the Turkey Last time I baked a Turkey was Spring of 1988. I was staying at a Women's Shelter in Ventura, California with my two boys. I befriended another woman and her . She became my best friend for several years. We decided to observe the passover season. Historically Passover is a commemoration Israelites exodus from Egypt. They left Egypt in such haste, they could not wait for their bread dough to rise. The resulting product was matzo. The reason for the Passover Celebration and eating matzo bread symbolizes redemption and freedom. Although We vetoed the Idea of an Easter Ham and opted for a turkey instead. I made the dressing with Matzo Bread. Matzo is a hard flat bread that looks like a cracker. I made a stuffing with the Matzo bread mixed with Apples, Raisins, Onions, Chicken Broth Ad Infinitum. Although we are not Jewish, we decided that a Passover celebration was in order to celebrate our own freedom from our own repressive situation. We actually attended a traditional Passover seder with a very conservative Temple. The men with long beards wore black hats. The men and women worshiped separately. On Easter Sunday, we did our own ceremony that included a feet washing ritual. After we left the Shelter, my Girlfriend and I did a Passover Celebration every year. Eventually we lost contact. I remarried and moved to West Forgotten By Santa Virginity and she moved to Bakersfield, California.  Abracadabra  |
