Dear Readers,
Remember when I made matzo balls? Well, the first time I made them I thought they were disgusting, so I left them in the fridge for a while, and tried not to look at them. But when they were in there so long that I thought they would start growing mold soon, I determined to finally eat them.
I ate them.
They were still kind of gross, but somehow they weren’t as gross as they were before. Some food is like that, you know- it’s better as leftovers.
Then a few days ago I decided to give matzo balls another shot, (I had a lot more matzo meal mixture in the box) and this time I decided to take the recommendation off the back of the box and simmer the matzo balls in chicken soup before I ate them. I also got better at rolling the mixture into smooth balls, and I used a little bit more butter than I was supposed to, and all I have to say is
Yummy!!!
They were really good!
They had a neat taste, you know? A really neat taste.
And I ate the whole thing and I was so full. Mmmmm…
Matzo balls are kind of like dumplings. They’re kind of like wet warm gooey spherical crackers with chicken flavor in them. Doesn’t that sound good?
Yum yum!
By the way, my downstairs neighbor has recently got into bonsai trees. See the two little ones down there in the picture? Bonsai trees are so neat! I used to have one for a while but I chopped too much of it off, and I strangled it with a metal wire when I was trying to get it to grow in a certain direction, and maybe I overfed it with MiracleGrow or overwatered it or something, but I do remember having fun with my bonsai tree for a little while.

Matzo balls are also so neat! It's neat the way that ball of dough stays together when you plop it in the pot of boiling water.
Bonsai trees and matzo balls put together are soooooooooo neat!
That's the kind of multiculturalism I'm comfortable with- matzo balls and bonsai trees- small, fragile artifacts from faraway cultures, small things that I can easily control, and consume.
Sincerely,
