Dear Readers,
I finally did something I've wanted to do for a while. I made matzo balls!
I'm not Jewish, but sometimes I like pretending I am, as long as there aren’t any real Jews around. I just love Jewish culture! Viva Israel! So I do things like make Jewish food and say “oy vey” and “schlemiel” every once in a while. One time I borrowed a friend’s menorah and I kept it displayed on my bookshelf for a while. (I needed it as a prop for a one-act play I was directing for college, The Youngest Shall Ask by David Shaber.) And I absolutely loooooove Fiddler on the Roof. I think it's my favorite musical.
Hmmm… I’ve also bought unleavened cracker-bread, and that was really good. I remember the package of bread had Hebrew letters on it. It was good. I put cheese on it, and I also put humus on it. Yum yum! And I’ve got my eye on Hebrew National hot dogs, because Hebrew National “Answers to a Higher Power” but they’re more expensive than regular hot dogs, so I haven’t got them yet.
Anyway, I made matzo balls, and I took a picture of it, and…
Oh my goodness they’re disgusting!
Yuck!
I wanted to like them so bad, because I want to like all Jewish things, but… but… gross me out!
I followed the recipe on the back of the box exactly, except I didn’t simmer it in chicken soup, like the recipe said I should. I don’t have any chicken soup. Maybe I should get some.
The matzo balls I made are like soggy puffed up gobs of wheat, with a hint of egg flavor. Ewww! Don’t they just look gross? And they're not even balls, either, they're more like icky lumpy dollops.
After I had a few plain bites of matzo balls, I tried them with hot sauce, but that tasted weird, and then I tried them with honey, and that tasted weird, too. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Do you think I should try it with jam or something? Maybe brown sugar? Seriously, though, just look at them… the texture, the taste, uh… I guess they are a little bit like chicken dumplings without the chicken, but they're grosser. I don’t want to throw them away, because I hate wasting food, but maybe I will.
OK, that’s all I wanted to say.
Shalom.
Sincerely,
Telemoonfa
