BSK today lunched on Russ & Daughters matzo ball soup. Unlike HG, BSK had no problem in swallowing the matzo ball. However, BSK thought it bland. Very unlike the light as a feather matzo ball that BSK creates. BSK’s matzo balls contain much chopped dill and some other flavor enhancing ingredients. Far better than HG’s Mom’s matzo balls or any Jewish delicatessen versions. BSK does other excellent Jewish dishes such as kasha varnishkes (buckwheat groats with fried onions and sour cream) and tender stewed brisket awash in lusty gravy. BSK doesn’t make blintzes. But, BSK does make crepes topped with red salmon caviar (and sour cream, of course). Not so shabby. Mystery. How can a Canadian/Midwestern woman babtised in an Episcopal church cook with such Jewish soul ? The mystery has been solved, BSK’s sister, Noel M., had her ancestry checked online. Turns out there’s a healthy amount of Ashkenazi Jewishness in her background (BSK’s would be the same). Welcome to the tribe, BSK.
