Hi,
When I was a kid, and we still lived in Ramot it was very clear what happens when Passover end – we will wait for our neighbor to come back with fresh baked Angel buns.
They always had good buns, but after a week of Passover with no bread and only Matzah – they were tastier than ever 😋
When I asked Atzva how was her Passover end as a child she didn’t remember something special: “We had to rearrange all the dishes back on the kitchen shelves” (religious Jewish has a special set of dishes for Passover, to make sure it is clean from Chametz).
Her family haven’t celebrated the Mimouna neither, as this was not part of their tradition.
“It was not important for us it was for you, we had plenty of good food during the holiday.” She is right, as Ima kept the Ashkenazi Kosher rules and we ate only Matzah, eggs and potatoes. No wonder she still calls it The Hunger Holiday.
This year I could not go to my friend Mimouna because of the Coronavirus. And we had to find something to do with the kids – so we celebrated the Mimouna 🙂
I didn’t know it, but almost everything is still Kosher for Passover as you don’t have time to cook. The only thing which isn’t Kosher are the Mofletta.
We cheated a little bit and started baking a little earlier. The result was a beautiful and tasty flower of fresh garlic buns filled with cheese 😋. By the way, many of the recipes we used during the Coronavirus pandemic came from the Fairy-Cookie website
Take care
