The first night of Passover is tomorrow at sundown.  This year, a friend sharing my Seder table, has Celiac Disease and cannot eat gluten, so I stopped in to New Orleans’s most well-stocked Kosher store, Kosher Cajun Deli. The owner, Joel Brown solved my problem: told me a great story and turned my on to a gluten-free matzoh.  Apparently a Rabbi came upon a 9 year-old girl weeping because she didn’t think she could eat matzoh for Passover.  After a lot of trial and tribulation, the Rabbi helped develop Shemura oat matzoh (oats are an allowed grain during passover) that quickly gained popularity and is now available world-wide.  The matzohs come wither handmade or machine made.  I nabbed a box of the handmade, and though they can be pricey, it’s well worth the expenditure.  Oat matzohs are excellent, with a richer and deeper taste than expected and the texture is nice and crumbly.  To all who celebrate, Happy Pesach.
