6YO: That ain’t going to happen.

ME: Don’t say ain’t.

6YO: Why?

ME: Because it’s not a proper word.  It doesn’t sound nice either.

6YO: But people in Texas say it.

pause

ME: Well, you’re not in Texas and they shouldn’t say it either.

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

by gallori on January 12, 2010

I wonder what it says about me that I’m reading these books…

All at the same time….

And the only one I’m having a problem getting into is this one:

And haven’t started this one yet but it looks interesting:

And my kids are reading these books:

What can I say?  I’m intrigued by people and their stories.  All of them.

I’m addicted to Matzo Ball Soup.

by gallori on January 9, 2010

I don’t know if it’s the season or what, but I keep wanting Matzo Ball soup.  I recently decided to try the Manischewitz mix and was pleasantly surprised!

All you have to do is add an egg, some water and vegetable oil, let it chill for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

Roll in to 1 inch balls and drop into boiling water.

Cover it tightly and simmer and in no time you have beautifully puffed up Matzo balls.

Add them to your favorite chicken soup and you’re good to go.

I also found that the secret to the perfect Matzo Ball soup is a very simple chicken broth. Boil chicken with onions and carrots.  That’s all.  Remove and discard the onions.  Remove the chicken and chop it up and put it back.  You can eat it like that or let it chill and skim off some of the fat.  We usually eat  it like that and next day after it’s been refrigerated skim off what fat rises.
