Libkuchen! I love it! Someone needs that for a blog title!

Here we have potato pancakes, Easter/Passover/Rite of Spring, libraries, and web logs, all swimming around in matzo brei. In this vein, I suggest libkuchen. Libkuchen is not brought to you every Easter by the Passover Bunny dancing the Rite of Spring. Instead, it is That Which Is Cooked Up By Librarians. It also sounds kind of like Lebkuchen, which is a cookie, and therefore has relevance to the web, which also has cookies.

Reminds me of my college days when I had a popcorn popper that was basically a frying pan with a really large cover which I used for Passover cooking. A friend and I argued every night whether matza brei should be like french toast and served with syrup or jelly (i.e. the wrong way) or savory (i.e. the correct way) with sauteed onions and pepper. But to bring this back to the library world MPOW (I don’t know how to make that a link, http://www.huc.edu/libraries/losangeles) claims (with good reason) to have one of the largest Jewish cookbooks collections in the world.

Think of it as a sweet souffle. Same principle.

“You know, that’s the recipe right there”
Here’s how I have my grandmother’s recipe for blintzes: My mother stood there with paper and pencil and my aunt stood there with measuring cups and spoons and captured my grandmothers’ handfuls of flour and pinches of soda before she threw them in the bowl. Actually, the recipe still says “pinch of baking soda.” Took me some experimenting to figure out it was a four finger pinch, not a two finger pinch.
But sugar in matza brei? Pfeh.

I love the term “biblioblogosphere,” but I also like “biblioblogistan.” Both of them are so George Herriman-like in poetic construction and sound. “There Is A Heppy Lend Furfur A-Waay…”

Spell-checkers would probably spazz out with some of those nouveau nomenclatures!

Plus -stan becomes a funny suffix; bibliostan, bookestan, infostan…
