My father did most of the shopping and we had everything we needed mostly from Sklars in Bangor but I also remember him coming in with a case of eggs from who knows where - that was 12 dozen! We had three dairies in Bangor and each year one of them would work with the local Rabbis to have Kosher for Passover milk. I have a couple of those old green bowls that I use for Pesach breakfast- cottage cheese, sour cream and fruit! I also remember that this was one of the only times that we had soda in the house - Cott orange soda - probably had it just because it was Kosher for Passover! The way my mother koshered the kitchen sink was to put a wooden board inside - funny the things that stick in your mind. Most of all, I think, was the aroma of Pesach foods cooking. When I cook these foods - and some new ones - I am transported back to my mother's kitchen.” #jewishmaine #passover #seder #pesach A post shared by Documenting Maine Jewry (@mainejewishhistory) on Apr 19, 2019 at 3:39am PDT
