I didn’t make the matzah balls–just needed to cut some calories. I added a drop of fresh-squeezed meyer lemon juice to the soup just because. . . The flavor is wonderful! Thanks for the recipe and especially for sharing your memory of going to museums in Manhattan.

I don’t remember the Guggenheim but there are lots of things I don’t remember any more. G-d willing, we will do many, many more things in the near future, speaking of which, what’s happening with Nashville???

I love you!

Irene

I had tears in my eyes when I read your blog. I was so scared that you would write something about us not having the same mothers only to read the wonderful things you wrote. Thank YOU very much.

That was when I had reached the age of 13 or 14 and mommy actually let us stay home by ourselves while she and daddy went off to New Jersey to see Uncle Chiel and Tante Marisha. That is when our trips to Manhattan started. We went to the Village to the galleries and to art shows. We went to the Guggenheim as well although you may not remember. We went to the Metropolitan more often because there was so much more to see. I wish we had gone to hear Leonard Bernstein or to see the ballet. Not enough money or too young to understand that some day we would not be able to see Leonard Bernstein.

The good news is that we still have lots of time to see and do lots of great things.

As for the soup, it sounds delicious. I made some soup this Friday as well because it has been cold and Jeffrey and I both craved some soup. Just a vegetable soup but it was really good as hard as that is to believe. I am definitely not the cook in the Graf family!!

I used the cumin seeds and they were fine. I can drop some fenugreek by your house if you need

It sounds like it has an Indian flavor, which I would love! Is Fenugreek a seed or do you buy it fresh?? I will make it this week but please let me know about the fenugreek! Also cumin or cumin seeds? Don’t they stay hard???

Thank you!!!!

We had a wonderful Channukah, with all of the kids here and Norm’s 60 birthday party, we had many things to celebrate. I always have a smile when I see your name and so appreciate your staying in touch. Love to you and your hubby!

Irene

Make sure you let me know how it comes out.

THanks Rachel!!!
