From the Polenblog, it’s, uh, a little late, but perhaps for all of those who still have some matzah to use up? I personally have sampled both of Twin C’s tasty specialties, and they’re great:

Work is at its regular intolerable levels. Short day today. Seeing my friend Kara’s dance production at Symphony Space. Then two days of Jewin it up, Passover style. I have to run home and cook up a batch of Chocomatzah, the only way to eat matzah!(TM). Basically it’s matzah with about five gallons of homemade caramel on it, then melted chocolate on top of that. It’s yummy, and pretty easy to make (you know I wouldn’t be making it if it was difficult!). Next week, another batch of chocomatzah, as well as perhaps the most bizarre thing I make – coffee boiled eggs. Two dozen eggs go into a big pan (I usually use a turkey roaster) with a lot of coffee grounds, a decent amount of water, some onion skin, and a little olive oil. This gets placed in the oven at 200 degrees for somewhere around 14 – 18 hours. When the eggs come out, the coffee has seeped through and flavored them, and the onion skins have (hopefully) made really cool designs on the shells. I don’t remember where the recipe comes from – I think it’s Romanian? Sarah Braun told me about it originally, I think.

The egg-boiling thing is used in Egypt as well, for the record, and not just by Jews.

And happy real (Greek) Easter to those who care about things like calendrical logic (how can Easter ever come before Passover?).

I’m in Amsterdam now, and have been practicing the tried and true Amsterdam Diet, which does not involve (very much) pot, as it happens. Yesterday was Queen’s Day, which was insane, raucous and delicious. More on that later, and on the intricacies of the diet, which Peter and I will turn into a book and make a mint off of. (Warning to lazy Americans: it does involve some exercise. But also lots of fried foods.)
