Megan, I'm not sure if you can ever buy it anywhere, but if you can buy some matzo it's easy to make. Basically you put 1Tbsp butter in a pan to melt, and meanwhile put a colander in your sink with room temperature water running in it. Break 2 matzos into small pieces in the colander and let the water run on them until the butter is melted (they get a little soft but not soggy). Shake the water off and put the matzo in with the butter, then pour on 1/2 C egg beaters (or 2 beaten eggs), and basically scramble it like eggs until the egg is all cooked. Or you can leave it to sit and then flip it like an omelet.
You could probably do it with something other than butter too, but I find that the butter works pretty darn well compared to nonstick spray and such.
Thursday:
B - matzo brie w/banana, strawberry, syrup; skim milk
L - leftover tzimmes, chicken, matzo mushroom onion kugel
D - matzo lasagna (how much matzo can I eat??), matzo + haroset
E - 75 min "advanced" yoga class, but it was basically the same as my regular Saturday class
