Sing it with me!!! Matzo-Matzo Man!!

Today was the day that Melanie and Lorie prepared for Passover. We drove into Milwaukee, and we immediately went to the Kosher Meat Klub. Despite it's name, it is not exclusively meat. Melanie was warned by our Rabbi that we could find the prices a bit high at this supermarket, but we were delighted at not only the prices but also the selection! This place was a DREAM! (I mean-- as much as you can dream about Matzo Meal, I suppose!!) We normally would go to Madison, and we would spend much too much on only a portion of what we needed. This year, we spent much too much, but we walked away with about two to three times more than we normally get for about the same price! It was splendid! Look at our haul---
















We also had a chance to visit a bit with Lorie's parents and Melanie's dad.... of course, these visits included us showering our parents in gifts! Lorie's parents got newspapers (her mom was sick, so we thought that she'd need some reading material) as well as donuts, cherry juice concentrate, and fish oil! (YUM!-- just take a shot of fish oil followed by a chaser of Cherry Juice! It's a new kind of martini for old people!) Melanie's dad got some shirts and a whole bunch of food from the Polish store including bread, sausage and liverwurst. (I know, I know.. yuck.... and not kosher, right?) We also went over to visit Lorie's sister. We figured that we shouldn't deprive Lorie's sister with the chance to have a nice, surprise visit with all the family showing up at her door! (just in time for Gizmo, Lorie's sister's dog, to poop on the floor.) Lorie's sister made fresh cookies for us and then told us stories about nail fungus and foot corns.

All in all, today was a strange, yet very nice day.
